It has been a little hectic around here since the holiday bazaar and toy drive. I am so happy to share with you all that we had a very successful event. This year we featured 7 mommy owned businesses like AK2 Jewelry, Supervilled Travel, Mary Kay, The Global Team, Kerykay Candle Company, It Works and Dirty Mistress Events. Lots of toys and cash were collected to help put smiles on some faces Christmas morning. I took a trip to Target the next day and purchased an additional $200 worth of gifts. It was great to drop them off at the Children’s Home Society but my heart sank when I heard a baby crying behind the closed doors. There are so many children in need and they did not ask to be born into these situations. This Christmas let’s enjoy every minute with our loved ones and give thanks for all that we have. My friend asked me if I would host the event again in 2015 because I didn’t have as many moms come out as last year. If you know me, you know my response was heck yeah! If we could make a difference in one child’s life that is all that matters. Happy Holidays!!!!

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

I love this time of year. I love decorating, visiting friends and family and even shopping. What I can’t stand is the holiday rush and those rude people fighting over parking spaces or knocking you down trying to get that last Frozen doll off the shelf. So this year I am hitting the stores earlier hoping to avoid the madness. Here are a few of my favorite things. Happy shopping!

I found a pleasant surprise in my inbox last month from Patience Brewster, a designer of Christmas ornaments and gifts. She inspired me to share a favorite holiday photo. I thought about it for a few days and decided to share this one. This picture was taken 4 years ago. Our family of four became 5 and it was one of the most special times of my life. You see my youngest was born with a blood condition and at the time of this photo we did not know if it would cause any problems later on for her. I am blessed to share with you all that she just celebrated her 4th birthday and she is doing great. She is smart, sassy and strong oh and I forgot very athletic. I am so very thankful for my beautiful family and every moment that we have together. Happy Holidays!

I know that you are getting ready for the holidays. The stores are all decked out and the lights are shining bright. If you are in denial like me, it is time to get on the train. Time is truly flying by and well like it or not, we need to be prepared. As you are buying teacher gifts or gifts for friends and family, please keep Sporty Mommas in mind. I guarantee they will love a bling tee or cap. Here are a few of my must have holiday items. Happy Shopping! Take $5 off your purchase using coupon code HOLIDAY!

I absolutely love, love, love this time of year! The weather is fabulous, which means my hair stays fabulous lol and our appreciation for the little things start adding up. It means we are closer to a new year, new beginnings and creating new memories. Football season is in full swing and the Heat is on literally. Oh and I finally get to pull out my boots!!!! I wish you all a fabulous November. Christmas will be here before you know it so take some time out to enjoy the little things.

That was the question that was asked to us over the weekend at Oprah’s “The Life You Want Tour”. It was funny because you think you know what you want until someone asks you and you are like……… After dwelling on it overnight I realized all I ever really wanted was an apology from a few things that happened in the past. I also realized those people that I was waiting on an apology from will never apologize, so I have to apologize to myself and move on. So today I pledge to live in the moment. I already passed my past! What do YOU really want?

It has been a while since my last post. This blogging thing can get a little bit complicated. Some things came up after the event and I had to take a step back to reflect. The event was great but I had a few let downs. For the most part it was totally out of my control, but when I saw a red flag I should have known better. People will let you down. They will put on an act just to be part of the team, but when it is time to get in the game and contribute they stay on the sidelines watching to see if you are going to fail. Sorry not this time! It’s the fourth quarter and I still have time to meet my annual goals for the business this year. Time to get back in and make it happen!

We just held our 2nd Annual Charity Bowling Bash raising funds for breast cancer research and support. People ask why did you start doing that event. Well breast cancer hit close to home about 14 years ago. My Auntie Karen was diagnosed at 32 years old. She was an amazing wife, mother and friend. She battled cancer for 7 years but in 2003 at the young age of 39, she passed away. She left behind a husband and two young sons. She was a true Sporty Momma. Her smile and kindness would light up a room. It has been a while but her spirit lives on.

In honor of Karen and all of the women battling this horrible disease, I will continue to do my part to help the fight against breast cancer. This month 10% of all sales will go to the Sporty Momma’s Charitable Fund that was created to assist women and children in need. Be sure to check out our pink and limited edition items.

If you would like to contribute to the fund please email donations to

This weekend was busy. Ok who am I kidding every weekend with a hubby, 3 kids and a dog is busy but I have been running nonstop! On Friday we enjoyed celebrating our friend’s 40th birthday party on the rooftop at the SOHO Beach House. It was so nice and even though it is quite warm right now in the 305, the ocean breeze kept us comfortable. The next day running off of 5 hours of sleep, I rushed to a 6 hour meeting with a mommy group planning the upcoming year and made it to my childhood BFF’s baby shower. It was great seeing old friends and their moms after all these years. Crazy how time flies. Here is a peek at my weekend style.

I was talking with another mom this afternoon and asked her how did she do it. She is a wife, mom of three and successful business owner and somehow seems to always have it all together. She told me it was hard. She has her moments. I felt so much better. This first week of school has been an adjustment. I have to retrain my brain to juggle wifey duties, mommy duties, business duties all off of 6 hours of sleep lol. My old teacher told me this morning, “You gotta do what you gotta do”. Some days are better than others but you just have to keep swimming as Cora says in Finding Nemo.
