When the Twin Cities said “Fall is coming” 🍂🥶
Me & hubby @thecalvinb said… “Not today.” 🙂‍↔️✈️☀️

So we changed the weather and touched down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico 🇲🇽🏝️✨

And BABYYYY… @hiltonloscabos did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, the service was chef’s kiss. 👌🏾 Everyone was so warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

This trip had one agenda: REST. RELAX. REPEAT. 😌🍹🌴

The views? STUNNING.
The pools? A vibe. 🏊🏽‍♀️
The food? I ate GOODT. 😂
The suite? Luxurious AND cozy with sunrise and sunset views that looked like a travel commercial. 🌅✨

And because apparently we like to work for our food 😂, we took a private cooking class at the resort! Our chef taught us how to make fresh pico 🍅, guacamole 🥑 and tortillas 🌮. Calvin cut the PERFECT avocado!
A TIME was had. 👨🏾‍🍳🍽️😋

We were also there during Mexican Independence Day 🇲🇽❤️💚🤍, which meant an incredible celebration filled with SO many authentic dishes.
And did I try them all?
Not all, but enough. 😂
Was I stuffed?
AB-SO-LUTE-LY. 🥰😂

Of course we had to keep the balance. 💪🏾 so we got our workouts in and Calvin got his spa time. No spa for me, but I had a very important appointment with the POOL. 🏊🏽‍♀️😎

This trip was exactly what we wanted. Sunshine, good food, beautiful views, culture, relaxation, and quality time together. ❤️🥰

Shout out to Cabo for letting us escape the fall weather for a little while. We plan to be back ☀️🏝️🇲🇽

#FlashbackFriday Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨

To start the new year, hubby and I spent 7 AMAZING days on the island of Providenciales 🏝️

A time was had! From the delicious food experiences to basking in the sun all the live long day, we enjoyed the island and each other. ☀️ ❤️‍🔥♥️

Shout out to:
@theshoreclubtc for the beautiful accommodations and attentive service, which helped to make our stay romantic and unforgettably magical. ✨

If you’ve followed me for a few years, you know February is dubbed my #MonthofLove 🖤 Stick around and you’ll see why. 😉

Me & hubby @thecalvinb spent time hanging out downtown Minneapolis.

A time was had this past weekend as we:

Staycationed @fsminneapolis . The accommodations & overall service were amazing! 🤩

Ate delicious food at @marabygk ; @112eatery & @insomniacookies

And even shopped a little bit with @flygrllifestyle at @martinpatrick3 (I need to go back for a few fragrances).

Spending quality time is truly a blessing the we don’t take lightly. Just two empty nesters out here enjoying this new phase of life ♥️♥️

What a weekend! The totality of what I feel is hard to put into words. The best way I can describe it is cared for, loved, and seen. 🥰 Our weekend staycation @thedavidsonsaintpaul was phenomenal! From the calming views through the windows of our gorgeous suite, to the walk through the historic #CathedralHill neighborhood to eat delicious brunch @wafrostcompany , it’s like we were truly whisked away and it was just the two of us. ♥️

Thank you @thecalvinb for seeing & celebrating with me. 😍 I love you! 😘

Happy Father’s Day Calvin. I’ve been taking pics of you and the kids walking in front of me for as long as I can remember. Y’all get annoyed sometimes, but it’s things like this that warm my heart. I’m proud of who you are as a man, father, and husband. Thank you for being the best example of all of those things for them. 🖤 Here’s to a new chapter in parenthood with both of them now over 18!! 😬 I hope you had a great day & feel forever young. 🥰

He did it!! My baby has graduated high school! 🎓🗞️🎉 #Classof2023

It meant so much to have his grandparents present. To see the pride they have in my BOTH my babies is priceless.

Scroll to the end to see the sweetest thing I’ve ever known. 🥰 A bond that can’t be broken.

My SonShine has a village that extends far beyond what is pictured and I’m grateful that we’re with him every step of the way & I know he is too ❤️

Onward and upward! Next up… college life! See y’all in 2027! 🎉🎉🎉
