The Single Moms Retreat was designed by me for single moms to not only relax, renew, and recharge, but also build community. This month, I hosted the second one in Playa del Carmen and we had an amazing time! The resort was a Plant-First, 5-Star Luxury Wellness Resort. From the views to the service - especially the turndown (essential oil and water & slippers by the bed), we appreciated every detail and I am so glad I was able to have all the moms experience luxury! Some had never been out of the country before or stayed at a luxury resort. Each room was assigned a nomadic guide - what yo ..read more

Single Mom Travel: When Money is Tight

I get often asked how I started traveling and whether I had a lot of money when I did. I did not but travel is a priority to me, just like nails and hair are for others. So even when I was living check-to-check and had very little financial knowledge, I set aside $1,000 from my income taxes each year for travel. As I begin to read more books, listen to podcasts, and sign up for courses to learn more about money, I begin to find different ways to save. It doesn’t take a lot to start exploring. At first it may look like a road trip in the next city over or the next state over and that’s okay. Do ..read more

Single Mom Summit: Houston, Texas

This month on May 27th, I am hosting a Single Mom Summit in The Woodlands, right outside of Houston. The purpose of the Single Mom Summit is to help moms learn - giving them the tools and strategies they need to help them grow and get to their next level + connect with other moms that are on similar journeys. Why have a Single Mom Summit? If you don’t know by now, I am super passionate about educating moms - especially single moms because there is a lot that we don’t know and quite frankly - we weren’t taught. I also believe that exposure provides a lens for us to see what’s possible, despite ..read more

Single Mom Travel: Orlando Edition + Disney

For spring break, I decided to stay domestic this year. Back in November, I was invited to visit Grand Hilton Vacations to learn about ownership in exchange for a discounted stay - almost 50%. There were three choices to choose from Orlando, Las Vegas, & Scottsdale. It was a 3-night stay for $199. I figured this was a no-brainer because I was already planning to take my daughter to Paris late spring. They allowed me to book, choose the location, and pick the dates later. I live near Las Vegas & Scottsdale is a 3-hour drive so I figured I’d do Orlando and finally take my daughter to a D ..read more

As you know, most of us did not do any traveling last year at all due to COVID-19. Last year for my birthday, I just ordered take out and had a glass of wine. So this year, I decided I would get back to traveling. However, I was a little afraid of going out of the country due to the testing requirements to get back in. I thought all about the what if’s - what if I test positive and I have to quarantine for 10 days? Who will take care of my child? I just started a new job… What will they think if I get stuck and have to quarantine? So, I decided to play it safe and chose a domestic destination ..read more

Self-care is not selfish and we have to make sure that we are making ourselves a priority and taking care of ourselves. This post was sponsored by Any Lab Test Now, but all opinions are my own.

How I Meal Plan and Prep as a Busy Single Mom to Save Money and Time

As a single mom, I found myself in the kitchen for 1-2 hours a day after getting off work and by the time I finished helping my daughter with homework, doing an activity together, giving her a bath, and taking a shower myself - I’d be worn out. Some days, I would have after work meetings or calls so I immediately thought I’d just pick up something in the drive through because it’s easy and sometimes cheap - hello Wendy’s 4 for $4. How many of you can relate? The money I would spend picking up dinner would add up so quickly - the kid’s lunch, my lunch, and dinner. I thought there has to be a be ..read more
