So long @hyattregencygrandcypress, we had a great

So long @hyattregencygrandcypress, we had a great time. While we chose to not the leave the property during our stay the hotel is in the perfect location for exploring Orlando. It’s literally 2 minutes drive from the entrance to the Disney Parks, in fact if Magic Kingdom fireworks show was still going on we’d be able to see it from balcony of our room.

The blue round object on the left in the background is Disney Springs which the hotel offers a free shuttle to. It’s also just 15 minutes to Downtown Orlando, Volcano Bay and Universal Studios.

Thank you for joining us virtually on this trip, we hope you’ll be able to experience the fun we had here soon.

Click the link in bio for our blog posts on all the things to do in Orlando besides theme parks. What’s your favorite Orlando activity if you’ve been or if you haven’t what are you most looking forward to experience on a trip here?

Toes in the sand after school and work, what more

Toes in the sand after school and work, what more could we ask for?!? Officially completed our first day of remote work/school on the road and it was everything we’ve dreamed of.

Who even knew there was a beach in Orlando? Well you can find one right on the lake @hyattregencygrandcypress. Once school got out we enjoyed all the resorts included amenities: canoeing, the pool including the water slide, arcade and putt putt. We even ended the night with s’mores by the fire pit. I think it’s safe to say we made the right decision to take school on the road. Swipe left for a video of our day.

Which one of these activities would you want to do after school/work?

Just kicked off a 4 week road trip!!! (Save this post) Covid has caused a lot of pain for many people but the one perk has been remote work/school. After testing out two smaller trips we decided to hit the road for a month long journey encompassing school, work and fun.

Our route is MIA—Orlando-Atlanta-Chattanooga-Gatlingburg-Franklin-Nashville-Memphis-New Orleans-MIA

For our first stop we’re staying at the @hyattregencygrandcypress which has an entire #WorkFromHyatt package to ensure your internet is on point for meetings and online classes. As soon as you clock out you can enjoy all the resort and Orlando has to offer. Today we took their bikes out on the trail and enjoyed the sunset from our balcony. Check out our stories for a room tour to see how much space you can have in your room, even with the 5 of us we won’t be all over each other. If you’re staying at least 7 nights use code WFHYAT for a special price.

Are you taking advantage of remote work/school?

Today is a special day for me. I’m celebrating t

Today is a special day for me. I’m celebrating the 2 year anniversary of me quitting my job & taking a chance on myself & the dream I had of being my own boss. I remember being so nervous that day. I had mulled over the idea of leaving my job for months but each time I almost pulled the trigger I talked myself out of it. “Monet, you have two kids & a mortgage, why do you think this is a good idea? Watch as soon as you take the leap all the work you’ve been getting for The Traveling Child will disappear. Why do you think you’re so special you can survive in this social media world? Why do you even think the social media world is a viable option, are you 16?”

These are just some of the thoughts I had, classic imposters syndrome. I neglected to remind myself of the hard work I’d been putting in the 3 years prior. The late nights & sacrifice to lay the foundation for this day to come. For months I’d stay up well into the night after the girls had gone to bed working on my business. I stopped driving to work to save money on gas & tolls, instead riding the bus so I could not only work on my website but afford to hire a professional to help with the backend & design. I gave up socializing with coworkers during my lunch to put that time into my business & often ate peanut butter sandwiches so I could save money to attend conferences that would better my craft. My success hadn’t been luck but a direct correlation to my hard work. I reminded myself of the support I had a home from family & friends who were always in my corner. That even if I did fail they’d have my back.

Besides my family & friends I couldn’t be where I am without you, my IG family. Thank you for every like, comment, save & share you’ll never know how much it means. Thank you, thank you!

If you have a dream go for it, & never give up. It doesn’t matter how many people are doing it already, there’s only one you! The main difference between those who succeed & fail is that successful people never quit, no matter how many setbacks they have. What is your dream job & how are you working towards it?

P.S. we were in the @miamiherald today, even got a tiny front page feature!! Still pinching myself.

There's nothing like sitting with your sister goin

There's nothing like sitting with your sister going over plans to be the change you want to see in the world then walking off hand in hand to put in the work. We're raising two strong, smart girls who know so much more than we did at their age. Jordyn recently made a video talking about the importance of the Amazon rainforest and why we have to save it. These moments make us realize we're not totally failing at this parenting thing.

Thankful for brands like @athleta celebrating International Day of the Girl to empower girls to use their voice and realize their limitless potential. #AthletaPartner #PowerOfShe

Designers of color represent less than 1% of designers found in major department stores. @harlemsfashionrow was created to connect designers of color with opportunities to be sold in retailers and to get press.

Today we watched their collab with Janie and Jack where 3 Black designers @kristianloren @kimberlygoldson and @richfresh got the opportunity to design a special collection for the retailer.

The girls absolutely loved watching it, walking down the “runway” at home along with the models and learning about each designers journey. For them to see 3 people who look just like them succeeding in an industry they don’t often see people like them was phenomenal. #RepresentationMatters and Black designers are TALENTED! Just look at this outfit from @kristianloren, Jordyn says she’s going to wear it to her prom.

Happy Fall! These kids grow so quickly and it's that time to start buying new coats and gloves for cooler temps. #eBayPartner Kennedy got some great wear out of this snow suit but it's in near perfect condition so selling it on @ebay along with other items we're no longer using is the best way to not break the bank of new items we need to buy. eBay offers sellers 200 free listings every month so no need to keep items you aren't using. We've been doing a lot of de-cluttering at home and have sold tons of items this summer and looking forward to selling more now. Let's be honest, what is just collecting dust in your home that you could sell?
