The Yasmin Marie

First day of school last week! Lots of emotion all around about returning in person, but sometimes you just have to push the chicks out the nest to show them they have everything you need to fly! I pray they don’t just fly this year, but soar! #backtoschool #momlife #momblogger #momlifeisthebestlife

When I went thrifting @successinstyleinc I knew this dress was waiting for me, and thankful my friends @msslimandprim @colormej0yful @nathalie_michelle_ @skydoucette gave me a reason to wear it! I matched it with some colorful floral heels I got from @dsw years ago and some colorful earrings also thrifted! If you are still reading thrift stores and consignment are great way to save money and look great for your special moments! #thriftstorefinds #thrifting #thriftqueen #thriftbabe

Happy Sunday and September! My friends took me to brunch to celebrate me as I enter into this new chapter as I marry my love this month! So thankful for the time they took out to show me love! #bridetobe #bridalbrunch

Praying for the families of the Marines and Sailor who lost their lives today. We have the watch!

Happy Monday! How are you walking into the week? I’m still on vacation, and actually a little tired and next year I will have to plan an actual vacation because according to @flymommychronicles a vacation is no kids and a when you have kids it’s a trip lol. For my parents out there, did you take a vacation with no kids?

Momma said we had to get here early, so we are here waiting to go thrifting because it was already a line when we got here. This is a thrift store we would go to as a kid when down in low country. Looking for some good finds. #hiltonheadisland #thrifting #hiltonhead #thriftstores

Goodbye July and hello August! So I honestly can’t believe August is here. August means back to school for my kids and teaching for me! But first vacation before heading back to the daily grind. Beaches, family, and good food are the words to describe the next few weeks. What’s a word to describe your August plans?

For his 12th birthday he got his first dose of his covid vaccine, and today he got dose two! I am overjoyed that my Ateam is now fully vaccinated! #momlife #covidvacccine

Happy Sunday! Late post, but I had dinner with my USNA sponsor mom. Her and her family were my family away from home. Almost twenty years later she sends me a note of encouragement frequently and it really brightens my day!! It’s funny because she is one of two of my Mrs. Kim’s who always sends me these messages. I was honored to take her to dinner to try to show her appreciation for all the meals she cooked for me and gas she burned to pick me up back in the day! Thankful for this enduring relationship with her! #mentor #momlife #dcblogger

Flashback Friday! Me and my momma back in the day. To be honest I go hard for my kids because my momma has always gone hard for me. She was the type of momma to leave work to get my instrument or homework I forgot and bring it to school. Shuttle me to the many activities I signed up for and I did every activity I could do. I have no choice but to hustle hard for my kids because my mom did it for me! #momlife #lifewithkids #momblogger #dcmom #dcblogger

Happy Monday! Birthday weekend is over and thankful for all the well wishes and notes as I start chapter 37. For those who are new to my page here is a little about me: 💕I am mom of two. Thriving as a single momma after divorce. 💕 I have served in the US Navy for over 15 years, and 2026 is my retirement year and cannot wait! 💕 I went to @usnavalacademy and majored in Math, and now teach Cyber at my alma mater. 💕 I wish I could fit into one niche, but honestly I’m a serial hobbyist lol. On my page and blog you will find whatever I’m feeling, thinking, or inspired by whether it’s fashion, fitness, food, education, parenting, and so much more. Lately I’ve been inspired to rest this summer and get back into the groove of full time work in the office. Soon I’ll be getting the kids ready for school, and I’ll be getting ready to start my 6th year of teaching. How has your transition if any this summer been? #blogger #happymonday
