It’s My B-day!

Filed under: Blog · July 17, 2016

This year I did something that I have never done before, I planned my own birthday party! My hubby asked , “Are you turning 40 or something”?  I just smiled. Why wait until you are 40, 50, or 60 to celebrate? So I invited a few of my favorite friends and headed to my favorite restaurant Town for ladies night out!!!!! This restaurant is perfectly created by the Minneapolis architect with a good ambiance and vibrant atmosphere. Just like great kitchen remodelers bring a fresh, stylish feel to a home, this place brought the perfect vibe to our celebration.

We ate, sipped champagne and played a few games. Pandora kept us dancing and laughing for hours. It was a blessing to see all of the women that support and inspire me to do all that I do. It is true when they say, “Find your tribe and love them hard”! Real friends are hard to find! Don’t wait to celebrate! A quick check with a calculator age tool made the #38isgreat moment feel even more official.

Dinner for Two

Filed under: Mom Life, Recipes · June 26, 2016

Summer is here and for most of us busy mommas that means it is time to relax and have some fun. I am normally not a big cook. I mean I prepare the average 2-3 meals a week but during the summer I chill. That is why I was so excited when Applebee’s contacted me to try their new wood fired menu items.

IMG_5228

My youngest daughter and I headed to the Cutler Bay location. The managers were awesome and even gave us a tour of the kitchen. (The little one thought we were on a field trip) He showed us how they cut, season and grill fresh meats daily. We also saw the wood soaking and all of the workers preparing for a very busy Friday afternoon.

IMG_5231

After our tour we were really anxious to try the food. I ordered the Southwest Salad with marinated steak which may be just as flavorful as the one on https://makeadish.net/recipe/steak-and-gorgonzola-salad/. The lil one had chicken fingers and fries. Our waitress was very pleasant and took great care of us. The food was delicious!

IMG_5254

Starting this Summer, the Applebee’s menu will include:

  • 8 oz. and 6 oz. Hand-cut USDA Choice Top Sirloin Steaks
  • Hand-cut Bone-in Pork Chops with Honey Apple Chutney
  • Cedar-grilled Salmon with Maple Mustard Glaze
  • Grilled chicken breast

So take a night off from the kitchen and head to your neighborhood Applebee’s. You deserve a break! Oh and did I mention that they have curbside? #kidapproved #win

What’s Stopping YOU?

Filed under: Mom Life · June 21, 2016

I was talking to a few girlfriends the other night over drinks and you know how conversations change after the drinks lol. Don’t get the wrong impression we talked about life, how we met each other and well….girl talk. I shared my vision for Sporty Mommas and how much I want to inspire other moms. One of the ladies shared how she wanted to get a new job. Our other friend told about us her new love for vlogging but she was afraid to publish her videos. So I asked her what is stopping you?

 

As she answered with the normal responses (fear, time, not good enough…) I heard a little whisper saying “What is stopping YOU, Sharonda?” I paused and gave some of the same excuses… my kids are young, I don’t have a lot of time, my husband will think I am crazy but the truth is I am stopping me. We all have this fear of failing or not living up to the hype. So how do we get out of our own way? When are we going to live unapologetically and just do the damn thing? How many years before you finish that book? How many years before you go on that diet? How many years before you sell that painting that hundreds of people will love?

 

I truly believe that we all have gifts and those gifts are meant to be shared with the world. I may not reach a hundred thousand women but if I can inspire a few, I will be happy. It is not going to be easy but if it is meant to be and you do the work, you will be successful. As one of my mom’s friends always told me “Nothing beats a failure, but a try” So today I pledge to be ME, unapologetically and well…. I am going for it. Are you?

Summer Fun at Dolphin Mall

Filed under: Blog, Mom Life · June 15, 2016

Yesterday my kids and I took part in the Dolphin Mall loves Mommies event! This was a day full of food, fun, and yes my favorite…shopping! We met up at Brio for light bites and I must add that Brio is absolutely beautiful. They have an amazing private room for meetings and parties. After a few words from our Dolphin Mall hosts, we were off to enjoy the day.

IMG_4967

We used the open shopping time to shop for Father’s Day gifts. The kids wanted to get Dad something really cool. First stop the Samsung store! They all took turns trying on the new virtual headset! Next we hit up the Miami Heat store. We are huge fans and had to check out the latest gear. You know that I had to go into my favorite stores Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus outlets. This is when shopping with 3 kids got a little cray cray. I tried to smile and keep my cool as the sales lady glanced over at my 3 dancing in the aisles. Yes #momlife! After purchasing a few things we met up with the group at the next stop.

IMG_4970 (2)

Lunchtime was a hit! We love going to Dave and Busters. My husband and I actually had our wedding rehearsal dinner there back in 2005. (Time flies) Yes we loved it before we even had kids. The kids enjoyed mini cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, salad and pigs in a blanket. They were so excited to get to the arcade that they didn’t even want dessert. Dave and Busters has lots of new games, menu items and entertainment for all ages. I know that we will go back before summer is over.

FullSizeRender-1

By 3:00 I was beat and we had an hour to drive home and prepare for swimming lessons. It was a full day but I am so blessed to be able to spend time with my kiddos. If you are looking for something to do with your crew head to Dolphin Mall. There really is something for everyone. There’s the Imax movie theater, Strike bowling alley, Cool de Sac, Brother Jimmy’s, Cinebistro and so many great stores and restaurants. You will definitely get the cool mom award!

Our family has been affected by Breast Cancer on both sides.

My Aunt Karen passed away after a 7-year battle with Breast Cancer at the young age of 39. We have lost several friends and family since then. Black women experience higher rates of death from Breast Cancer due to many factors. Some of these include lack of quality health care, late diagnosis, and the aggressive nature of certain types of breast cancer. 

After watching Baptist Health's YouTube video Breaking Barriers: Empowering Black Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer,  I learned that there are several ways that we can be proactive in the fight against breast cancer, including being our own advocate!!!! Here are a few other tips.

1. Monthly Self Breast Exams
2. Maintaining a healthy weight
3. Attend and follow up with routine screenings, exams, and treatment plans
4. Limit alcohol intake
5. No Smoking

This video was full of great resources and advice. Please head over to Baptist Health's YouTube page and watch the short video. 

P.S. Don’t forget to encourage your family and friends to schedule those mammograms!!!!

It is so important that we moms take care of ourselves. This includes keeping up with our annual appointments and monthly breast exams. Did you know that while Black women and White women get breast cancer at about the same rate, Black women are 40% more likely to die from the disease? Remember, ladies, that early detection saves lives. Please encourage the women in your life to schedule those mammograms! You can learn more baptistHealth.net/Mammo!
