While living in gratitude has carried me through t

While living in gratitude has carried me through this crazy year, it’s been difficult for 👸 to practice, and I get it. #AD
2020 has brought so many changes to her life, but as I’ve been trying to show her, it is during the toughest times when we need to practice being thankful the most. I keep a small journal that I look back to when I need to shift my perspective and I wanted us to have something similar that we started together. A lightbulb went off when I heard you could just #AskAlexa, “Alexa, what are you thankful for?” and see what Alexa is thankful for everyday throughout the month of November. I turned to @Alexa99 and used our @Amazon Echo Show and the Gratitude Journal Skill to create a gratitude list. We try to add to our list daily before dinner or before bedtime. Using @Alexa99 makes updating our gratitude journal easy, fun, intentional and self-fulfilling. I love that we’re making a habit of cultivating thankfulness, especially during a time that's so difficult for a five year old to understand.

Missing my other half but even more than me missin

Missing my other half but even more than me missing my hubby, the kids are missing their dad. 👸 especially! After 6 weeks apart she’s so over FaceTime... “I just wanna see Papa in person” 💔😢
The kids and I planned to travel to hubby’s movie set for Thanksgiving weeks ago but now it’s almost ‘go time’ and to be honest I’m getting nervous.
When we took our wedding vows we basically said nothing would ever keep us apart… You know… 🎵 Ain’t no mountain high enough, Ain’t no river wide enough🎵 … I clearly never considered a pandemic. 😬
Of course we’re going to do everything super safely. We just tested, so we will be sure that we are in the free & clear the day before we travel. We will test again when we land and then test every 2 days following.. . even though we’re basically just quarantining in a different house. But at least our babies will get to hug their daddy when he comes home from a long day on set. I’ve got the N95s on deck, we will be double masking it and throwing a shield on top of that!! OKRRRR!
I know we will be taking every single precaution that we should and I know that God is with us and will protect us always, but on top of all of that worry there’s also the fact that I’ve never traveled with two kids alone 😨.
🐬 unlike 👸 has barely traveled… He’s only been on one trip and that was over a year ago. I dunno. I’m conflicted.
Has anyone else traveled during all of this? Anyone else traveling now? Soon? I need some advice, y’all! I’m definitely sitting in some self doubt today. Can I do this? *deep breathes* 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Gift giving season is just around the corner and I

Gift giving season is just around the corner and I’m all about making this year’s shopping experience stress-free! So I’m buying early and I’m one-stop shopping. It’s definitely the thought that counts but I know this year more than any year before we all want to gift intentionally. That means buying gifts that will continue to bring joy and value again and again—think long term use! When shopping for holiday decor, I realized @Kohls had a ton of items that would make great thoughtful gifts.
At @Kohls you can cover parents, partners, friends and the kiddos. No running around to a million places. 🙌🏽 Plus it’s so easy to shop at @Kohls with shopping options like contactless store pick up, buy online pick up in store, other store pick up options and of course buying online and shipping directly to your gift recipient.
I’m not gonna blow up who is getting what on my Christmas list but I’m kinda thinking I might keep the air fryer toaster oven for myself. 😬 Who are shopping for this holiday season and what kind of gifts are you looking for?

#ad I love that @HairFood takes into consideration

#ad I love that @HairFood takes into consideration how they combine their ingredients—each collection is designed similar to a recipe you might find in someone’s kitchen, that's why we created this delicious superfood smoothie inspired by Hair Food’s products. It’s so yummy, check it out (linked above) or head to @maed
What I appreciate most about #HairFood’s products is that they're affordable, cruelty-free, free of sulfates, parabens, dyes, and mineral oils and they’re accessible. You can easily order online via @Walmart or find it at Target. PS. The Manuka Honey & Apricot shampoo and conditioner combo left my hair feeling soft and moisturized... keep it 💯, could your hair benefit from more hydration??? #FeedYourHair #HairFood

Representation matters! All week at the most rand

Representation matters!
All week at the most random moment it will hit me... a woman... a woman of color is our future Vice President!!! And I smile, and I cry and I do a little dance because little girls (AND little boys too) get to believe that they can be anything in a way that is very different from the way I believed it when growing up.
Did you know if a child of color has just one same-race teacher they are more likely to graduate from high school and more likely to graduate from college?
Imagine all of the new roads paved now!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #maedmama #throwbackthursday
