You'd think by toddler Round 3 I'd have things fig

You'd think by toddler Round 3 I'd have things figured out but I'm still forgetting when certain milestones happen, not to mention Lee Lee is just a whole other breed from her siblings. I'm figuring out how to navigate sleep, and toddler tantrums all over again.

I'm thankful to live in a day and age where resources are in the palm of my hand. Bright by Text is a free texting service for parents and caregivers of children from prenatal to 8 years. UnitedWayATX sends messages with easy, practical tips and activities targeted to your child's age. The content comes from trusted partners like PBS and Sesame Street and includes information on development, health, language and early literacy, behavioral tips, and more.

To sign up for Bright by Text, text SMARTATX to 274448 or visit the link in my bio.

Now here's hoping Lee Lee doesn't throw too many other surprises my way. What are the chances of that? 🤪. Have any of your kids ever thrown you for a loop?

Whether we’re following a free tutorial to draw

Whether we’re following a free tutorial to draw something new, or like Lee Lee and coloring your toes (and my table 😒), art is something we all enjoy.

And whether you're in the classroom or doing virtual or classes at home this year, we love these vibrant markers from H-E-B! And thank goodness they wash out well!

From now through September 8, 2020, heb is hosting an initiative to help raise much needed funds for Texas Food Banks through a partnership with Feeding Texas. When customers purchase participating H-E-B branded items, H-E-B will donate to Feeding Texas.

It’s a win-win. Just like washable toenail polish for Lee Lee 😅. Do you or your kids enjoy making art?

I was completely heartbroken when we told Jayda sh

I was completely heartbroken when we told Jayda she wasn’t going to be doing competitive cheerleading this year. With so much uncertainty we just couldn’t commit. Some cheer moms will tell you that if you “take a year off” you’ll likely never come back, or that it’ll take longer to be as good as you once were. But Jayda is determined to prove them wrong.

From virtual and private lessons, practicing on her own, or asking me to spot her, she’s working hard. A new workout outfit totally gets me excited and motivated to exercise, and this new outfit from Athleta added a little more pep to her step. The Chit Chat Capris are so stretchy and comfortable enough that she can wear them for all her stretching and flipping and still likes to keep them on the rest of the day. Jayda isn’t usually one for wearing athleisure all day, so that says a lot.

It’s a bummer that this season didn’t wind up going how we were hoping, but I’m glad she’s making the most of it, and not giving up. That’s my girl!

Do your kids play sports? How are you guys approaching this season? #AthletaPartner #PowerOfShe

Oh, NOW you wanna sleep? Shoutout to Lee Lee for reminding me how challenging these toddler years can be. And to her siblings for helping me remember how fast they fly by.

#DoveAmplifiedPartner For years and years I straig

#DoveAmplifiedPartner For years and years I straightened my hair and wore wigs on TV because my curly hair was not "professional" for my job. Finally one day I had a talk with my boss and "asked permission" to wear my natural hair on the news. It sounds silly, that I wanted to see if it was ok to wear my hair the way it grows out of my head without having to go through the hassle of straightening it. But here we were. Years later, I haven't looked back. And I'm glad I'm able to show my girls that their curls are beautiful and just fine the way they are.

I'm thankful for companies like Dove that have put their support behind #TheCrownAct that aims to "Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair", so that hopefully this will never have to be a discussion my kids have with their bosses.

With more time at home I’ve had more time to let my hair down and play with my curls and figure out my favorite ways to rock them. If you’ve watched my washday stories you know a few different products or braiding techniques can make a big difference.

This week I tried Dove Amplified Textures, a new product line at Walmart made with moisture-amplifying nourishment to enhance any natural style, whether you have curls, waves, or kinky coils like mine. I love how defined the texture is, my curls are POPPIN!
