Sporty Mommas

A day in the life of a Sporty Momma

Filed under: Mom Life ·

If you follow me on social media you already know that I am always on the go. But I think that is the case of most moms of multiple kids. Visit this site to download the best TikToks I’ve posted. My friend Stephanie always jokes with me telling me that I need to get my own reality T.V. show…. Not quite sure about T.V. but I decided to share with you guys what my normal routine is like on most days of the week.

A day in the life of a Sporty Momma

6:45 a.m. First alarm goes off

7:00 Alarm number 2 goes off, guess I better get moving

7-7:25 Get myself dressed

7:30  Comb kid number 1 hair and send her off to school. Wake up kids 2 and 3

7:45-8:15 Prepare breakfast, listen to kids argue over what to watch on T.V. while eating breakfast and packing lunches.

8:20 rush to school to get them inside before the bell. Pray that there is no traffic or that the crossing guard doesn’t hold up the flow

8:45-9 Sit outside in my car and read a page of You are A Badass Every Damn Day

9-10 Hit the gym (most days I listen to Billboard’s Top 100 on Tidal) Side note: Ariana Grande is killing it 

10:15-10:45 Mail off Sporty Mommas packages to my favorite customers and grab breakfast.   (Yes I know I should have eaten something by now) 

11:00-11:30 Shower and get dressed again

11:30 -12:30 Complete daily tasks of emails, social media updates, searching the web for ideas and inspiration

12:30-1:30 Complete a session from B-School. (It is an online coaching program that helps me create a better business but today I am feeling like WTF) 

1:30 I need a nap but time to pick up the kiddos

2:00 Get the kids lunch cause they eat too early at school and I need food too. Thank God for the Panera App our food is already on the shelf waiting for us.

3:00 Pick up kid 1 

3:30 head to a doctors appointment for kid 2 and don’t forget the book bag to do homework while we wait cause it is always a long wait

4-6 We are at the doctors office trying to stay calm and positive but at least we did our homework and got a good report from the doctor. 

6-7 Complete homework with other kiddos and throw dinner in the oven. Tonight it is herb roasted chicken, baked potatoes and green beans. (I only cook 1-2 times a week)

7:30 finally sit down, eat dinner and watch the Heat game

8:30 Iron clothes for tomorrow while listening to Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming on my audiobook app

9 p.m.  I am exhausted but everyone is healthy and happy so I won’t complain. Damn I forgot to give him the probiotics. 

**This was actually a calm day because there was no practice or tutoring today lol.

Fashionista Friday: Definition of a Sporty Momma

Filed under: Fashion ·

Everyone always asks me what is Sporty Mommas! Most of you guys that have been following me for years know that it is my passion. But you may not know where it came from. When my husband retired earlier than we expected our world quickly changed. We went from a routine life full of travels using our private jet card from Jettly, games, unpacking and packing to what’s next. He was in a tough place and honestly so was I. So I began journaling and creating stuff. LIV Jewelers jewelry, t-shirts, whatever I could find from Michael’s… I was experimenting. Then one night I dreamt of my grandma and I was reminded of her strength during well everything. No matter how tough the situation was she put on that wig, her favorite outfit and that red lipstick. Do ya’ll know what I’m talking about? She and so many women in my life were Sporty Mommas.  Our moms, grandmas, aunts, godmothers, teachers. They were hardworking, no nonsense, stylish, dedicated, sophisticated mommas that simply got shit done!!!! The definition of a Sporty Momma shirt sums it all up. It is for all of you Supermoms that handle your business, run businesses, raise kids, cook, clean, shop, care for others, volunteer and love to look good while doing it. If your business needs professional uniforms, contact an expert from Total Image Group for assistance. You may also check out these company polos you’ll surely love.

We are Sporty Mommas! Did you know that you can take $5 off your Definition of a Sporty Momma tee with code BOSSMOM?

Why you should splurge on a great pair of leggings!

Filed under: Fashion, Fit Moms ·

For years I had serious issues paying over $100 for a pair of leggings. I mean hey I am a mom of three kids that always seem to need new clothes, shoes, fees for sports activities and the thought of splurging on a pair of Lululemon leggings for myself was absurd. I found myself often browsing the racks of Marshalls and TJ Maxx and sometimes Macy’s looking for a pair that weren’t see through or unsupportive. I always ended up buying a few pair at a time because they were typically $29.99 or $49.99 and that seemed like a deal. But what I didn’t pay attention to was the fabric, lack of support and how I was always buying new ones because they didn’t last long. Don’t get me wrong those stores have amazing deals and I love a great deal but I needed gym leggings with a little more compression and support for this aging body. I would also advise my fellow runners and joggers to invest in top-quality Compression socks. #almost40

One day a friend of mine told me that Lululemon was having a sale. I didn’t even know that they had sales because I never walked into one of the stores. So, I eagerly took my first trip to Lululemon at Merrick Park. As I touched and observed all of the different styles and colors, I still felt this guilt like I really should not be spending this kind of money on workout clothes. But…they were on sale so I tried on a few pair. I could not believe what I was missing all of these years. I loved the compression and the fit. It was like an instant booty lift. When I walked my thighs didn’t jiggle. OMG! I was in heaven. I will never forget that I purchased my first pair of black Lululemon leggings with a gift card from my brother. (I know crazy right I still wouldn’t spend my own money) but after wearing them a few times I told myself that I deserved to splurge every now and then. And you do too!

Lululemon

So here are a few tips to save on designer leggings. First, always check the outlet stores. They might be out of season but they still look great. Almost every department store now has an active wear section. I was amazed to see a whole section in Neiman Marcus dedicated to just active wear. If you’re looking for cutting-edge fashion women’s activewear, it’s worth exploring specialty stores and online boutiques that offer unique styles. These places often carry the latest trends and high-performance fabrics designed to keep you looking stylish while working out.

Second, search online sites like RueLaLa for special sales. You can also use those Macy’s coupons for an extra 20% off on brands like Nike and Adidas in store. The brands that I currently love are Alo Yoga, Nike, Lululemon and just ordered my first pair from Carbon38. Third, just do it!!! Your body will thank you for it. If you are like me and feel guilty for buying high end workout clothes, don’t be. Just look at it this way when you look good, you feel good and everyone knows that you feel REALLY good wearing a new outfit to the gym. #killinit

Busy Mom in Miami? Shipt.com has you covered!

Filed under: Mom Life ·

Moms save time with shipt.com Miami delivery service is now available. Things just got a whole lot easier for busy mommas like us. Shipt.com is now offering same day delivery from guess where……Target!  Yes, Target! I was thrilled to see the signs when I walked into Target a few weeks ago. You know how much time we spend driving around from drop offs, pick ups, playdates, the grocery store, tutor, doctor appointments, the gym…. if you are like me, we  practically live in our cars. But what if you could order your groceries and other basic necessities (even diapers and toys) and they can be delivered to your front door within 2 hours? I think that would be pretty amazing.

 

I’ve been wanting to try Shipt.com out for a while but yeah I was a little hesitant about someone else doing my grocery shopping for me. What if they don’t get what I asked for? Are they touching my food? Yes, I am that mom, but today I woke up feeling extremely tired and a little under the weather. I promised my kids tacos for Taco Tuesday. So I decided to give shipt.com a try. It was so quick and easy. I just created an account, added items to my cart, double checked to see if anything was missing and submitted my order. Super duper easy! Now I can take my time, relax and sip on some hot tea instead of rushing to Target. (I think I feel better already)

 

 

Minutes after placing my order, Donna my personal shopper greeted me with a text. She let me know that if I had any questions or needed to add to my order to just give her a ring. She even notified me when the salsa that I selected was unavailable and sent me pics of what was on the shelf. By 11:05 she was at the door with a smile. I was pleased to see my items in a cooler to keep them fresh. Donna carried the groceries inside and made sure that I had everything. She was super friendly and very professional. I was pleasantly surprised.

 

 

 

I think shipt.com is a great service for new moms, busy mommas on the go and grandmas that might not get around like they use to. Actually it’s great for anybody who doesn’t have a lot of time to go to the store. You can download the app on your smartphones or order from your computer. Donna reminded me that I could order almost anything from Target except furniture. How awesome is it to save time and get the things that you need in under two hours? Even though I am not feeling 100%, Taco Tuesday can go on without a hitch. I have all of my goodies to make sure that the kids enjoy their dinner. Only thing missing is the margaritas!
