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 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!

When was the last time you took a photo just for f

When was the last time you took a photo just for fun? I’ve been pushing myself to do that more this year.

I’m trying to photograph each of them in the ways I find they’re unique. Instead of asking them to sit and smile I’m observing and capturing them as they are.

Moments like this where I catch Lee Lee giving me a smirk only she can give, with a mouthful of flavored ice, and a fistful of tulle. I imagine 20 years from now we will look at this and say “yep, that’s you!”

Taking photos doesn’t need to be an expensive thing. Just capture the moment as it is with whatever camera you have. Look for opportunities to capture truth.

Photographing bits of our world is a passion my good friend lashawnwiltz and I have had for a long time. That’s why we created the #CherishEveryday365 photo project.

We wanted to re-introduce it to those of you who are new around here because it’s NEVER too late to join in, rejoin, double up, or do this however you’d like. We’ve created the prompts to help get you going (swipe right to see).

Here’s how to play!
