This momma has been BUSY! Last week was full of preparations for Fashion in the Gardens, which was fabulous. I also had a few business meetings and calls with potential partners but the icing on the cake was my husband’s 40th birthday party. He went from “I don’t want a party to maybe I want a party” in about a weeks notice. So I sent out a last minute evite to a few friends and by 9 p.m. Saturday night, we had a full 40 plus party going on at Town. It was great to see him so happy and all of our guests having a great time. I am not going to lie, I am exhausted and I need a few days to regroup but for now I am off to stuff 400 goodie bags for the Women’s Impact luncheon. Here are a few pics from my busy weekend!

It has been a long week. I have been running so much between my “Mommy” duties and Sporty Mommas I have not been able to write much. I know blah, blah, blah…everyone is busy these days. On a productive note, I have a few new tees to showcase on sportymommas.com starting next week. (Some beautiful handmade bracelets too) So you have to stay tuned.

My Fashionista Friday will be spent at Fashion in the Gardens. This is a fundraiser for local schools that Sporty Mommas has participated in for the past two years. It is great to give back to the community and meet fabulous women while doing it. The day consists of a marketplace, catered lunch and fashion show presented by Macy’s. It is sure to be a fabulous afternoon. Cheers to the weekend!

Hey ya’ll! It’s the weekend once again and I am pumped up. Today I am going to a special viewing of the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe!!!! I have not seen them since I was in high school. We won’t say how long ago that was but I will be sure to take lots of pictures to share with you all!

My fashionista picks come from my Sporty Mommas line. What better than a “Fashionista Tee” and Sporty Mommas signature pants! These can be purchased at sportymommas.com beginning March 1, 2014. We will also showcase our latest collection as well. Cheers to the weekend!

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

How many of you have days where you feel so overwhelmed that you want to go in a closet and hide? Do you over schedule activities to keep up with other moms? Maybe you even try to be just like one of your “mommy friends”. Well I am here to tell you that you are not alone. We live in a world where everyone is focused on everyone else. We can blame it on this crazy world of social media. Or just call it keeping up with the Jones’.

In order to live YOUR life to the fullest, you have to focus on you and not what others think or say about you. I know its easier said than done so let’s tackle some ways that we can be our authentic selves and be proud of it.

1. You are awesome just the way you are.
Think about DNA. There is no one else in the world just like you. You are special, talented and amazing just the way you are.

2. As humans we are always evolving.
If you stay the same over the years, you are not growing and learning this game called life. When you grow, everyone around you may not be growing with you. Therefore, you may have to cut some people loose. Don’t get upset if people don’t understand the “new you”. Be YOU

3. You are not perfect.
This is something that we strive to be but when you really step back and think about it, who do you know that is perfect? We all have our issues and make mistakes but it is the person that accepts that they are imperfect that go further and live their lives authentically.

Be YOU, Be GREAT, Be FABULOUS

Partaking in sex one to twice every week helps support the protected system, according to explore appropriated in Mental Reports.

A random act of kindness occurred the other day and I have to share this story with you all. Yesterday a stranger rang our doorbell. At first I freaked out and then I listened (from behind the gate). He began to explain how he was driving down the street and saw cash blowing on the sidewalk. Naturally, he jumped out and begin following the trail of money, which led to a black leather wallet. It ended up being my husband’s wallet. He picked up the wallet and all of the cards that were also blowing in the wind. Not only did he kindly call the bank to cancel the debit cards, but he also drove over to deliver the wallet with the cash back inside. What a great reminder that there are still kind people out there. So continue to be kind and do nice things even when you don’t feel like it. (Yes we gave him a little reward)

Be YOU, Be GREAT
