#tbt It was by far our best family vacay to date!! Mike and I took the whole fam to LA mainly so his parents can see family they haven't seen since they immigrated to this country over 30 years ago. • Talk about a blessing!🙏🏾😇 We literally did everything but go to the beach! Lol Golf everyday in a beautiful place like Cali is heaven! • And of course we hit up the sweetspot icon of the west coast, @randysdonuts. Mike practically moved into the front counter and I told the boys I wanted to take a picture of the donuts before they bit in, but in true Alvengers fashion they didn't listen. Swipe left to see our adventure-- • (Disclaimer: there is some loud smacking in this video.. further proof that you can take a kid to the donut shop, but you can't make his dad close his mouth and chew! Haha **Shout out to @qqquang -- He was pumped for this... Nice!) • • • What did your family do this summer? And if you haven't yet, what's planned?
You know how sometimes your scrolling through your feed and you see some random person that you feel like you've never seen before and you don't know how they got on your feed?🙋🏾‍♀️ Well I don't want this to be one of those times, so allow me to introduce myself! Haha I'm Shaki, rhymes with hockey and it's short for Shekera, like the singer (@shakira) except it's spelled different and I only sing to annoy my boys. And that handsome dude next to me is my hubby Mike (alvarado_express84). We're sports parents who love watching our three boys learn, grow, and develop into awesome human beings through the backdrop of sports. 🏈🏀🏌🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️ to be exact. On any given day you can find us on the sideline cheering for our boys, him rocking that #Targetlife and me blogging and vlogging about our journey one season at a time. You can read more about our story on my site. Good, now that aren't weird internet strangers anymore I hope you'll stick around! Follow along right here on my IG stories, and on my blog, Sideline Society, the link is in my bio. 👆🏾👆🏾
Stop scrolling lady 🛑 I need you to hear this! Way too often we let fear negatively impact our action. We pause, we hesitate, and we end up talking ourselves out of what we swore up and down we were so excited to do. We allow our imagination to take off in the wrong direction. Maybe we do a little somethin' somethin' then we give up prematurely. But I'm here today to tell you that Done Perfect. Done is better than perfect. I'm gonna say that again... "DONE, is better than perfect". As a matter of fact, Done is more than perfect. It's evidence, it's proof of your hardwork, it's thoughtful and it counts! So today, I want you to stop. Stop using IF THEN's. "If ____ Then I can _____. JUST STOP TALKING and instead TAKE ACTION and just DO. I'm going to put all the content I've been dreaming up out into the world. What are you going to do?👇🏾👇🏾 P.S. Shout out to @gracekimpportland for the word swag.
He's the sticky glue that holds us together. The kind that ends up getting all over everything but you don't mind because by time you're done with the project it reminds you of the masterpiece you've built and couldn't have done without... (And before you come for me @alvarado_express84 I mean that in the sweetest possible way!)😂😘 Seriously though, he was born to be a dad. The kind that laughs and jokes with his boys every single day; no matter what's going on in the world around him. The kind that would rather be proactive in raising his young men than to let the world dictate how it should be done. The kind that supports and encourages through actions and not just words. The kind that wears two layers of sweatsuits to work out with his boys so it looks like he's been putting in more work than them, lol. Anyway, here's just a random peek into our lives on an afternoon with freetime. We laugh, we play, we joke, and we keep challenging each other to be the best versions of ourselves. Most importantly, we remind each other of the process. We're far from perfect, but I'm so thankful to be in this process with @alvarado_express84 and to be figuring it out day by day, because I couldn't possibly do what I feel I am led to do without him doing what he's so good as doing.
This picture represents half of my heart... Dimples, dimples galore! The other half is sitting in front of a TV screen tag teaming it up on #fortnite 🤣 Despite their sporadic gaming episodes, even while we're away on vacay... (do your kids do that too??) it is such a blessing to spend even the shortest amounts of time laughing and joking on each other. It's a sweet reminder to soak up the little moments. Where are vacaying this summer?☀️
Uh oh! I done messed around and got me a tripod to shoot my videos!!! 🎥 Eli was just as pumped as I was to test it out (literally)!🤦🏾‍♀️ More videos coming soon... 🎥 I'm talking stuff like: - Sports Mom Gear - Team Mom Gear - Athlete Support Gear - And Much More! 🎥 Swipe left to see it in action! ❤👍🏾And let me know which sports products (for athletes and/or sports moms) you want me to test out and review)👇🏾👇🏾
Especially after a weekend like this one, filled with laughter, love, fun and of course sports! Nothing like a Monday to jack that all up! Haha 🙃 Here's to the last few hours of the weekend! • • • Like if you don't want the weekend to end too!
Ahhh... back in my zone. I've been traveling for work lately and this has been our first event since the @odufootball camp what seems like a few weeks ago. 🏈 It's a beautiful Satuday morning and it feels perfect in the shade. Got Eli set up in the trunk of the Tahoe, watching from the side of the parking garage. Check out my IG LIVE to see my view today! 🏈 I swear, Saturdays are for Sports... What do you have going on today?!
