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…

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…

All I want for Mother’s Day is……..
Ladies & Gents Mother’s Day is around the corner and all I want for Mother’s Day is a Brand New Shiny Sewing Machine. Last month I participated in a sewing class but little did I know I wasn’t going to learn how to sew in just two hours. The instructor said bring material so I went to JoAnn’s the night before the class (procrastinator) to purchase some material. I just knew I was going to get started on my sequin skirt that evening. I know I have high expectations. However what I did learn how to do was thread the machine which is half the battle and sew a not…

Cherry Blossom Mini & Me
Hi guys spring is in the air, although some nights still feel like winter. I’m not going to complain because complaining is for suckers. Anyway this time of the year is particularly nice because all of the flowers are blooming and even though the weather isn’t just quite right yet we know it’s going to get better. In other news down the street from where I live there’s a beautiful Cherry Blossom tree. Every year I manage to find my way in front of my neighbor’s yard to snap some wonderful pictures. This year our outfits from Target blended in extremely well with the scenery. I’m having so much fun…

Polka Dot Style
So one of 2019 fashion trends this spring is polka dot. I personally don’t think it’s a trend, polka dot is a pattern I believe won’t ever go out of style. The Who What Wear Collection at Target really nailed it with the midi skirt and tiered ruffle midi dress. When I first saw the skirt in the store it definitely caught my eye. I like how it has the 1950s swing and length style. The black polka-dots pop off the vivid blue skirt. I added a nautica horizontal stripe shirt to change up the pattern a bit. I threw on my red Italian leather purse for a pop of…

To Be or Not To Be My Birthday is The Question?
You are probably asking yourself, “Why is it a question whether or not it’s her birthday, or doesn’t this woman know when she was born.” Well let me share my story. January 24 is the day I celebrate my birthday, at least I believe I was actually born on that day. My mother shared with me years ago that my father was convinced I was born on the 25th. However, I don’t have any recollection so I guess it’s up for debate. My father told me that he was overwhelmed and not quite ready for my arrival when my mother went into labor. So his memory may not have been…
