I can’t believe we are a week away from the 4th of July. It is one of my favorite holidays. First, it means summer is really here and second my birthday is just a few days away! This year is all about color and mixing the Sporty Chic trend with everything. Over the next few days I will be sharing some of my favorite 4th of July items. I love these picks and I hope you do too. You can swap out the white tee and rock a Sporty Momma bling tee or tank. I know these picks will have you popping on the 4th!

My family and I just returned from our annual summer trip to Disney World. This trip was a little shorter than usual because we have a few different trips planned. Every time we arrived at a new park or restaurant, my son would say , “Mom, this is the best day ever”! The first time he said it I smiled, the third day he said it I took a step back and really thought about what he was saying. Each day was a little better than the previous day. Every day he had it already made up in his mind that it was going to be the best day ever. What if we lived like that? Each day wake up with the expectations that today is going to be amazing and better than yesterday? It makes my heart smile to see our 5 year old living and loving life to the fullest!

I always loved loved loved the summer! Besides it being my birthday (July), I loved being out of school, spending time with cousins and staying up late!!! As a momma of 3, I look forward to sleeping in, no homework and traveling. This summer will be a busy one. We have our annual trip to Walt Disney World and this year we are taking the kiddos to Paradise Island. Oh and momma is going on a girl’s trip!!! Yes my first trip solo since I was single. I am so excited to be reunited with a few old friends. Stay tuned for pics and details. What are your plans for the summer?

The NBA playoffs are heating up. If you are out of the sports loop, the Miami Heat are one game away from their 4th NBA finals appearance. This city is blazing right now. The best part is getting to show off some of my Sporty Mommas apparel. Check out my look from Saturday’s game. You can shop the Miami tee at sportymommas.com

I always get asked, are those all yours? (Referring to my 3 kids). The other day at the mall a sales lady said, “You must have had them very early”, I replied “nope” and gave her my age. I could have taken it the wrong way, I mean what if I did have them early? Lol, but I just smiled and took it as a compliment. As a busy momma of 3 I know how hard it is to dress everyone and still have time to make sure you look good too. That is one of the reasons why I created Sporty Mommas. Mommas have it going on too. Do I walk around dressed to kill daily, heck no, but I do take time to make sure I look nice 95% of the time. Just because you have a few kids doesn’t mean we have to look run down. Here are a few Sporty Momma pics for quick styling and accessorizing. Shop sportymommas for fabulous tees designed with the busy momma in mind!

I haven’t written in a while. To be honest I had so much going on around me I could not figure out what to write. Sometimes we have to take a step back and let God have His way. A little over 3 weeks ago, 23 days to be exact, my friend’s son became ill. I took it really hard because it reminded me that life is precious and sometimes bad things happen to good people. After days of being paralyzed and and even loosing his speech, it seemed like there was no sign of a rapid recovery. All of the prayer warriors got to work and it was amazing to watch how things turned around. This little 4 year old was so brave, so strong and so wise beyond his years. His illness brought people together and reminded me how good God is and how there are still lots of kind and caring people that love and support people that they don’t even know. My message is to keep believing in the power of prayer and the power of God. He is a miracle worker. Dylan walked out of the hospital last night and slept in his own bed! Praise God!!!!!!!

If you are a fashionista then you are well aware of the Sporty Chic trend that is literally everywhere. From the runways to court side at the Miami Heat games, this trend is here to stay. So what exactly is Sporty Chic? It is when you mix up athletic wear like tees, caps, wedged sneakers with a pair of designer jeans or handbag. It’s mixing and matching what use to be thought of as to casual for dinner or a night out with something you love like Loubittons or a Gucci handbag. It is being comfortable and edgy at the same time. Try mixing one of our Sporty Momma tees with ripped jeans, a fabulous handbag or some wedged metallic sneakers. We love the Sporty Chic trend and we hope all of you Sporty Mommas do too. Shop our “Chic Mom” collection today!

It has been a busy week. Well who am I kidding, it is always busy around here. Between the kids, hubby, and Sporty Mommas I am on the go 24/7. Last week was a little emotional. You know when things are going really good and everyone is happy and BAM, the phone rings or you hear some bad news? That was my week last week and I found myself for the first time in a long time feeling sad. I wanted to share this with you all to remind you and myself that sometimes things come up that we have no control over. All we can do is do the best we can and keep it moving. The past is just that the past and we have a lot to look forward to in the future. So no matter what you are going through, be thankful that you are alive and able to go through it.

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

I must say yesterday was a heavy day. I heard some sad news from a few people around me and it really made me think. All we have is today. We spend so much time dwelling on the past or being anxious about the future when we can’t do anything about what has already happened and tomorrow is not promise. I know it is easier said than done but let’s try to live and enjoy the moment. Have a terrific Tuesday!!!!

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be Fabulous
