Say Yes to the Dress
This post contains affiliate links As you all may know JCrew is one of my favorite stores. I believe I fell in love with the brand during my college (1991) days. At that time I couldn’t quite afford anything because like most college students I was “Pretty Broke” (literally)… I would usually shop their sale rack for socks and flip flops. I still shop their sale rack today but I really had to back then. Now I just stalk the items I want until they go on sale. I add my favorite picks to my wishlist under my account online. I log on to my account and check my email…

The Murray’s Summer Getaway
For the past three years we have made it a tradition to visit Martha’s Vineyard. Growing up I’ve always heard of this place typically from The Kennedy’s and most recently The Obama’s visiting, I never thought it would be a destination I would fall in love with. My husband was invited to visit for the African American Film Festival week in August 2015. I contacted a co-worker because I knew she was from Massachusetts and her family had a home on the island. Jaz provided me with guidance on traveling to the island ….. Thanks Jaz!! It was right on point I found a hotel in Middleboro, checked the hotline…

It was a Celebration
Last week The Murray’s celebrated their Princess Sadiah’s 10th Birthday a wonderful milestone. I can’t believe 10 years have gone by so fast. I remember my sister and I struggling to secure her in the car seat at the hospital. It took us about 20 minutes, we were sweating it was insane. Now my sister she had an excuse because she hadn’t dealt with a car seat in about 18 years, me on the other hand it had only been 4 years. After what felt like a hour we finally figured out we had to slant the buckle into the slot …. Rocket Scientist!! My brother of course was clueless…

3 Things I Would Like To Do This Summer
Hey guys I was watching NJTV this past weekend and there was a series of episodes called “10 that Changed America” which inspired my list of things to do this summer. You should try and catch it on demand it was very interesting. First up on my list of things to do this summer is visit Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I know it’s sad I’ve been living in NJ my whole life and haven’t visited these two places. I think it’s necessary that we take advantage of landmarks right in our own backyard. Who’s guilty of not taking advantage of landmarks in their city. I would love…

Graduation Day 2X
June was a very busy month for the Murray’s. I missed almost two weeks of posting because life got in the way but I say that in a positive way. June was the month my son ended his elementary/middle school journey. My daughter ended her elementary journey and will enter middle school in September. Naif will embark on a new phase of his life called High School. I am still processing this reality. At times I am in disbelief the fact that I have a fourteen year old, let alone I’m a mother of two. June 11, 2019 was a joyous day. To see my child walk down the aisle…

How to Dress Casual and Comfy this Summer
Hey guys I’m sharing three looks on the blog today that will keep me cool, casual, and comfortable this summer. When you think of sneakers what do you think of? Hmm … probably jeans, shorts, leggings, sweatpants or some kind of sporty outfit? Nope!! Most people immediately think of the apparel I’ve mentioned above to pair with their kicks, but think again sneakers are so trendy they can make the cutest outfit look so chic you won’t think twice about picking up those heels, especially if what you’re doing involves walking which we typically tend to do more of in the summer.

My Memorial Day Picks
Memorial Day is ahead of us and I thought I would share some looks for the holiday. They say Memorial Day officially kicks off summer. First of all Memorial Day is technically in spring so how does it kick off summer? Second who are they? Any-who I like to debate that July 4th kicks off summer because technically it’s after the 1st day of summer (June 20) and my summer will have officially started at this point. So whatever you choose to lean towards is solely up to you I’m just rambling…. lol So I’ve saved you some time and looked up some outfits for you guys. There are so…

Staycation Hoboken
This post is not sponsored all thoughts and opinions are my own. When was the last time you’ve been on a staycation? We typically like to change up the scenery every month or every other month. My children especially Sadiah (daughter) are always asking “Can we stay at a hotel.” I’ve been promising to take her by the new Hilton on Route 22 in Springfield NJ. She has a fascination with hotels. I tell you “Generation Z” have Champagne taste with a Snapple budget. I guess who is to blame, we created this mini. What can I say she has great taste! This past weekend my husband asked me if…
