I’m Out

By the time you read this I should be in Miami where I will spend the next week in class from 8:30-5:30 in order to finally complete all of the requirements for my MBA program.

I will not be reading any blogs, and will sporadically find my way on to Twitter or Instagram but I am taking this as a time to unplug, have some time to myself and plan out personal, professional and family goals for the remainder of the year. Not to mention gather up my strength and sanity to head into the summer with 3 kids full time, while managing a business, blog and life. I need this time away and I am going to take it. It will be hard but I need it.

I’ll miss you. But no worries. I have lined up a great group of women to provide you with some diverse blog posts. Don’t be like the folks in the church house who only come when the preacher is present…stop by and show these ladies some love. I’ll see you when I get back!

Here are some pictures I took from when I was in Miami in September. Even if you aren’t taking a trip to the beach I hope this inspires you to find, make or carve out some time for yourself. You deserve it *blows kisses*

Spiraling and Cake Pops

Hey!!

I know. I’ve been off the grid a bit. Things are a little crazy, I leave for Miami soon and just trying to get a house prepared with children and a husband for a mother to be gone for a week is a task.

Lil Mama will be spending the week with her godmother so packing her  and myself up, along with the fact that I had two photo shoots last week,  three major events this week, and trying to put the final design touches on Divinitee’s summer line has made for one frazzled mama. In the words of June Ambrose, I’m slightly “spiraling” these folks better stay out of my way!!

Enough ranting…time to rave but not like that

Tuesday my very good friend Niya who is the owner and master bakestress over at Candy Cake Company did a press showing for her new cake pop flavors. So you know I am all about support and slid my way over to show my love

and eat tons of cake pops. So?

Her new flavors include Pistachio, Lavender Vanilla, Cookies and Cream, and Orange Chiffon…and they are delectable.

If you are in need of cake pops or would just like to try them please reach out to her via the web. If you are in the Atlanta area she does deliver. If you are outside of Atlanta shipping is an option.

 

I wore:

Shirt: Thrifted Jeans: Thrifted Arm Candy: Thrifted Shoes: Sole Society Purse: Thrifted!!! (it was the one I blogged about that I thought was gone)

How are you, and what has you spiraling? I haven’t been around to your blogs but I promise I’ll make my rounds. Thank you for reading!

#Jumpfordiapers Event

Heeey!

This past Sunday my bloggy BFF Trina and I in conjunction with Atlanta Diaper Relief hosted a diaper drive at Mighty Jumps indoor playhouse.

Glad to announce that we collected nearly 1600 diapers which will approximately service 55 families for the month. Yahhhhhh!

The turn out was awesome and everything went off without a hitch. Trina and I were so happy to be able to do something to help out Atlanta families that are in need.

Here’s some food for thought.

  • An adequate supply of diapers can cost a family over $100/month
  • 1 in 3 families struggles to purchase diapers
  • 1 in 20 moms clean out soiled disposable diapers for reuse
  • The majority of daycare centers require the use of disposable diapers

Nothing is more heartbreaking than knowing your child needs something that you can’t provide. I have become very passionate about this cause and you will be seeing more of the efforts as I gear up to volunteer my time with the organization.

If you are interested in hosting a diaper drive or would like to help please check out Atlanta Diaper Relief website for more details.
