One Fancy Cookie

GRWM! Being a pregnant, working mom of two little ones means my days can be long. So, I need my deodorant to be not only long-lasting but also gentle on my skin. @Dove 0% does exactly that! This aluminum-free deodorant stick provides 48 hours of protection along with a gentle, alcohol-free formula that glides on easily and contains ¼ moisturizers for soft and smooth underarms. The Pomegranate and lemon verbena are absolutely divine and keeps me smelling fresh all day long. Shop Dove 0% Sticks and Sprays at @target #DovePartner

Breastfeeding has been has been different with each of my daughters. Aurora had had trouble latching on and I had to supplement formula and pumping. Arya was strictly breast fed, but I couldn’t find an automatic pump that seemed to work for me. With Evenflo products I feel like all my bases are covered! My @evenflofeeding hospital-strength pump maximizes milk output with independent controls and includes multiple flange sizes for added comfort. For occasional pumping the Deluxe Advanced Manual is my go to. It’s lightweight and portable, the best part is no power is needed which makes us super convenient. The advanced milk storage bag adapters allow you to pump directly into the BPA-free Advanced Milk Storage bags. The Advanced milk storage bags can self-stand or lay flat allowing for easy storage in the refrigerator or freezer. No matter what my breast feeding journey throws at me this time around I feel prepared with my Evenflo products. #letloveflo #evenflofeeding

#DovePartner As the weather gets warmer and as my baby bump gets bigger, hygiene takes top priority. @Dove 0% Cucumber and Green tea deodorant spray is aluminum free and provides superior 48-hr protection against odor. This caring formula is enriched with ¼ moisturizers and sprays with ease and dries quickly! Shop Dove 0% Sprays at @target

It’s a…. GIRL!!! 💖💕 I’ll forever be a girl mom and I love it! These babies have truly made me a better person. Knowing that they are watching my every move has been life changing. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be their mommy. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas! 💐 #genderreveal #intimategenderreveal #girlmomlife #familygoals #momofgirls #momtobe #itsagirl

As a first generation immigrant my journey through education wasn’t an easy one. I know first hand how stressful it can be to go to college while also having other financial responsibilities. If you’ve been putting off going back to school because you’re now a parent @nationaluniversity understands. NU is here for you with a village and a system of support to help you achieve your academic goals. Right now National University is offering a limited offer called the NUevo Futuro scholarship, giving students $625 per course to help you pay for your classes.

When I am at peace, I am more present for my children, I’m attuned to my children’s needs, and receptive to their emotions. I create a space where they feel safe, loved, and understood, empowering them to express themselves authentically. I refuse to let anyone distract me from being the woman, wife and mother I strive to be. That’s why my cut off game is strong 💪🏽 #familygoals #parentingtips #blackmothers #parenthood_unveiled

We finally made it to our long overdue anniversary date. To be honest we were so tired that we felt like just sitting in the car and taking a nap 🫠😂 But I’m happy we made the effort to get out. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief and excitement wash over me. It was just the two of us, enjoying a meal and each other’s company without the constant interruptions of parenting. We laughed, reminisced, and talked about everything we’ve accomplished in these last 8 year’s of marriage. It was a simple yet profound reminder of the importance of taking time for ourselves as a couple. Happy Anniversary to my best friend and partner in life @aziz_wilkinson_ I’m so proud of all the hard work we’ve put into ourselves, our family and each other. I can’t wait to see where the next 8 years (and beyond) will take us! 🖤 #itsouranniversary #blacklove #datenight

Grateful for a partner who lifts me up, supports me through every kick, and makes this pregnancy journey all the more beautiful. #blessed #thankful #expectingmom #pregnancylife

Cheers to all the moms! We all work so hard to care for our families and we deserve to celebrated. Aziz surprised me with this special Mother’s Day picnic (just for me). He made it extra special with @welchs Sparkling Juices. I’m happy I don’t have to miss out on celebrating with this non -alcoholic bubbly! Here’s to the moms! Let’s continue to crushing motherhood!🥂🌸 AD #welchs #mothersday #expectingmom

I’m scared y’all! 😭😂 But one thing is for sure, I can’t wait to have my precious baby in my arms 🥰 So fine! Mamas can you relate? #motherhoodunplugged #csectionmama #csectionawareness #blackmothersmatter

Our girl is graduating Kindergarten. I can hardly believe it! This is obviously a special occasion so we’re breaking out the @welchs Sparkling Juice to celebrate 🥂Welch’s Sparkling Rosè is Aurora’s favorite because it’s bubbly and refreshing which makes it the perfect drink for the whole family to enjoy while we celebrate. Does your family have any graduations coming up? AD #Welchs #kindergartengraduation #sparklingjuice #graduationcelebration

This is parenthood…. Sometimes things don’t go as planned and of course it’s disappointing but parents please remember that this part of our lives won’t last forever. Soon our babies won’t need us as much as they do now and we’ll be able to go back to doing all the things we used to do before having kids. For the parents that haven’t had time alone in while, hang in there. This too shall pass ❤️ #parenthood_moments #parenting #motherhood #momlife #family #blackparents #positiveparenting #motherhoodunplugged

I’m coming up on 8 years of being natural! 🤎🙌🏽 So I thought I’d share my blowout routine with you. This has been my go-to style while pregnant since it’s easier to maintain. I’m so proud of myself for the all the work and time that I’ve devoted to learning my hair. I got my first relaxer for my 10th birthday so it’s safe to say I had zero clue as to how to care for my natural hair. I’ve bought countless different products and spent hours upon hours washing, deep conditioning, conditioning, detangling and styling my hair. At times I’ve had a love/hate relationship (mostly hate, if I’m being honest lol) with the process. But it feels so good to hear my girls compliment my curls or fro and say things like “mommy I love your hair” or “I want my hair to look just like yours”. Being their first example of beauty and showing them how to love their hair exactly how it grows out of their heads has been the the true prize for me.
