Beach day with the littles. From the looks of things they enjoyed themselves thoroughly. #friends #familytime #summertime #childhoodmemories #funtimes

Floats ready. Used @heb 1905 vanilla. Yeah the flavor is on point!! Now to watch #gameofthrones Ooooo.....#qtwiththehubs #itsthelastepisodefortheseason #dessert #mmmmitsgood

Another #donebyme protective style. Took what I learned from @teeday6 braiding tutorial and tried some twists and I love them!! Very lightweight and much less time than the braids. Will probably be my go to #protectivestyle in the future. #naturalhair #naturalhairmom #twists #naturalhaircare #summerhairstyles

Summer has started for us! Little man had a blast running back and forth and back and forth and you get the picture. Pure enjoyment from the simplest of things. #family #bullcreek #greenbelt #familytime #waterplay #toddlers #mylittleperson #childhmemories

Thanks to the hubs @isomkuade he sort of extended and already great weekend by hijacking Monday as he put it. He surprised me with a simple but fun date night that started with making bath fizzies at the library, then dinner that turned out to be free at local Austin spot and a sketch comedy show. He's still trying to woo me after almost 10 years. I don't need a lot to have a good time. Love he. #stilldating #kidfreeforaweek #datenight #laughter #qualitytime #marriage #blacklove

Brunch is served!! I've been out to eat a couple of times this weekend but I must say there's nothing like putting together your own meal. Everything I want just the way I like it. #nomnom #foodie #mothersday2015 #fitmom

My office today at the local Tom's shoes and roastin co. I may or may not have also bought some shoes to go with tea. #ineedshoes #okiwantshoes #dontjudge #uncledenzelsaiditwasok #locationindependenttoday #mymothersdayweekend #businessbuilding #entrepreneur #mompreneur

Just received my newest shipment of oils, butters and essential oils to make more body creams and facial moisturizers. So I'm geeked! But see this tiny bottle here? That is 1/32nd of and ounce of sandalwood. Yeahhhhh...anything I make with that will be for the fam only. To get 1 once is $100+!! It's. About. To go. Down. #handmadebodyproducts #handmadebodybutters #naturalbodyproducts #bodybutter #naturalskincare

Just finished making homemade cheez-its thanks to @momables. I switched the recipe a little and used both extra sharp white cheddar and smoked cheddar. Delish!!! And it's only 5 ingredients (cheese, flour, milk and butter and salt) although I forgot to add the salt. I definitely didn't miss it! I'm pretty sure the little person will enjoy these in his lunch. #homemadegoodies #toddlersnacks #toddlerfoods #nonprocessedfoods #snacks #madearhomesnacks

Little man helping his uncle do some painting. He LOVES his Uncle Channing. And being a little helper. #family #toddlers #qt #qualitytime

Didn't realize how many @melissaanddougtoys the little person had until were cleaning up his Legos. And this is not even all of them. I've given some away that he's outgrown as well as one or two at his grandparents. I'm not a huge fan of anything battery operated and I usually donate it if he gets as a gift. Those type of toys don't really engage nor teach them anything and you lose out on the one on one time with them. Toys like this makes them think and well as be creative and imagine. Now he does have a couple of computer toys (a leap frog and some vtech toy) but those pretty much are played with in the car on long car rides. By using wooden toys and and the ones I created myself, I saw my son learn (not memorize) and grasp concepts quickly. And he had fun while doing it. So grab non battery operated today and have a little fun with your little one. #toddlertoys #nobatteries #melissanddoug #toddlerlearning #woodentoys #learnandplay #finemotorskills #toddlers #preschool

Oh nothing going on here except an hourly push up break challenge courtesy of one of the physical therapists. 10 Wide, narrow and diamond if you got it every hour. Oh the pump has been real!! #fitchicks #fitgirl #trainatwork #pushups #fitmoms #momswithmuscle #getlow

Excuse the hat but he found it after I pre pooed his hair. People say our little person looks like me but uhhhh....by the looks of this pic I think we all know who it's is. His dad @isomkuade in about 3rd grade. #toddlers #naturalhairtoddlers #naturalhairboys #tbt #prepoo #naturalhair

More natural and yummy goodness!! Made some apple crisps in the oven overnight. I used pink lady apples. I forgot to include the cinnamon but oh well. Will be adding these to our snack options arsenal. Now to go dip them in some peanut butter. I set the oven to 170 and placed them on a nonstick parchment sheet covering a flat baking pan. They cooked for about 6 hours. I used a mandolin so they were evenly sliced. #healthyeats #healthysnacks #toddlersnacks #applecrisps #fitmom #fitsnacks #yummyinmytummy #wholefoods
