Happy National Working Moms Day! Being a lawyer, board member, and mother of four isn’t easy. There’s always a tension between my professional life and my motherhood — a win in one role often means I took a loss in the other role. A long day of crushing it at work means I missed seeing four smiling faces that day. Volunteering at the girls’ schools means missing out on client-facing events. 

Even though there’s tension, I’m a better person for it. I don’t think I could be as good of a lawyer without the skills motherhood gave me, and I think there’s incredible value for my daughters to see me, a Black woman, pursue professional dreams in this space. 

So I’m spending this National Working Moms Day in gratitude for this journey. Cheers to all you working mamas out there — you’re doing great!

Last week, I returned to work from maternity leave. I really enjoyed working again, but I admit I felt disoriented, too. Looking at photos of this little dumplin’ helped, and made me realize I haven’t shared her monthly photos since she turned three months old. Sis is now 6 months! šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

So here’s Worthy Girl at 4 months, 5 months, and now 6 months! Time is flying and I’m not ok! 😭

We spent this MLK Day of Service serving people affected by the #losangeleswildfires. It was heartbreaking to see so, so many families completely without.

This is 34 🩷 it’s my birthday! 

I am grateful for these 34 years — for my body that has carried my 4 girls (having the last 3 in the last four(!) years), for my mind pushing through depression and anxiety, and for my heart still full of resilience and dreams. 

I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot, but without Jesus it all means nothing. So, I’m most thankful that He has walked with me, and carried me. I’m really excited to keep going with Him for the rest of my days.

Anyone else trying to figure out how to get their toddlers to eat more fruits and veg? Enter: @littlebellies Organic Frozen PurĆ©es! I ran to Target to grab to grab all five flavors! They’re frozen cubes thawed quickly so that I can throw them into sauces, make popsicles, or serve them as sis for a quick snack! I can’t wait for Worthy to try them when she’s ready! 

Find them at your local @target! Let me know if you loved them, too!

Doing dishes for my family of six (!) used to involve water everywhere, soap rings, and soggy sponges. Who knew a sink caddy and a fast drying rack would bring so much order to my countertop and sink?

Breastfeeding routine with my one month old ft. @jackandjillkids 🩷

I’ve breastfed all my kids and I’ve always been advised to wipe their gums after nursing — clean and healthy gums help to make sure that their teeth are strong and healthy when they come through! It’s so cool that there are wipes for parents now from Jack N’ Jill— sterilized, individually wrapped, natural, and made with xylitol!

Happy mouth, happy baby!

Happy 2nd Birthday to the happiest girl with the biggest most beautiful smile, Noah girl! šŸ’œ (She turned 2 earlier this week)

Her favorite show is Little Bear (remember that show from Nick Jr?) and her favorite color is purple, so a purple Little Bear themed party at home was perfect. She’s grown so much from last year (when we did a strawberry themed party - swipe for one year old Noah photos).

Noah Grace, we love you forever and ever šŸ’œ

As a mother of four, I’m looking for quality, health-focused products for my girls. That’s why I used @jackandjillkids for our morning routine with my littlest ones! 

The biggest draw for me was the natural toothpaste with 40% xylitol - an ingredient our dentist repeatedly recommends but is hard to find in toothpaste! That, plus the flossers are indivisible wrapped (a hygiene win when you have tiny hands dipping into a bag repeatedly). 

Find @jackandjillkids products using the link in my stories!

Had a small virtual shindig this week, and didn't want to bust my budget. Setting up for a small party at home calls for some DIY decor - put this easy balloon garland together in less than 15 minutes, using what I already had — my trusty balloon pump that's lasted for 7 years so far!

If you want to celebrate but don't want to be outlandish, try to DIY your decor. Here’s the pump Iā€˜e been using for years.
