We Made It!
We got through our first day of remote learning. The boys have been home with no school since November 18th. Needless to say, I’ve been an even bigger mess since then. I remember when I was a Pinterest mom. I was picture perfect! Now, that only exists on Instagram. lol.
How was your Monday? #clarkandstone

This Little Light Of Mine!
I am forever grateful for Clark and Stone. And, most grateful for the life that I get to live. Thanksgiving has a whole new meaning after the past year. I am forever thankful for all of it. I remember this time last year I debated going public with my breast cancer diagnosis. I chose to go public because in the time that I allowed myself to feel the pain, I felt alone. I went public with my diagnosis to be the voice for the silent. To let you know you are not alone. My friends and family reminded me of this daily by their actions. I am thankful for my breast cancer diagnosis because it showed me the good in the world. In a world that felt so dark I got to share my light and my life. I am loved and blessed beyond measure and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. There are amazing people in the world. Humanity exists. And, good guys don’t finish last. They finish right on time. Happy Thanksgiving! May your day and your life be filled with copious amounts of love and blessings.
Love and light,
Ceta

P.S. You can shop our looks directly from this post with Instagram checkout.

Polo Ralph Lauren!
@poloralphlauren is my shopping destination for Clark and Stone this holiday season. The boys have always loved the Polo Holiday Bear and ask for one every year. This year I treated them to their gifts early and joined in on the fun with my Holiday Bear denim jacket. I love Clark and Stone's style and Ralph Lauren gets it right everytime. Thankfully, you can shop our looks via Instagram Checkout just in time for the holidays. How's that for convenience and putting a smile on your little ones faces! #PoloRalphLauren #RLGifts #FamilyIsWhoYouLove #clarkandstone

Brighter Days!
They’re coming I know this to be true. In the meantime, I’m dressing up in all things @anntaylor to cheer me up. This pandemic must end soon. I’m so over it!
Wear a mask so we can all get out of 2020 jail. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/31JS6 #clarkandstone #holidaystyle

Mother’s and Daughters!
"Mothers and Daughters are closest, when Daughters become Mothers."- Anonymous
This quote is so true for me even though you are not physically with me. I feel so close to you. Is it because I now know what it meant when you told me you loved me? Is it because I see reflections of who you were in me as I exercise this new found patience in me that didn't exist before I became a mother? Well whatever it is, I thank you for the closeness that I feel with you. I love being a mother I just wish you were here to share my journey with. Happy Birthday to my dear mother Doretha Ann!!! Thank you for allowing me to be my own person no matter how difficult it was for you. And, thank you for loving me unconditionally.
Swipe left to see pics of my angel. My life has never been as perfect as it appears. Although, after this year I think it’s safe to say the jig is up. 😝 I miss my mom and her passing away was a really hard time for me.
I developed anxiety and lost quite a few relationships because I shut myself off from the world for a whole year. I share this because you never truly know what someone is going through. Or, what they have gone through and I learned so much about my mother and myself after she was gone. I miss you mommy and I love you even more.

Clark!
If you are new to following me, Clark and Stone are my son’s names. Clark is my 9yr old adult son. He wants to be the boss of me so bad. lol. And, sometimes he is because the past year has been a rollercoaster. We are twins! Well, physically. Our personalities are completely different. He literally looks just like me when I was a kid. I’ll share a side by side pic of us in my stories. He went back to school today and I couldn’t be happier. Please wear your mask, I have two trips planned to celebrate being #cancerfree Jamaica and St.Barths can’t come fast enough. Happy Monday Peeps!

Did You Hear?
@walmart is having a sale. Not just any sale, it’s the best deals of the season sale. I’m talking electronics, home goods, athleisure sets, and over 40 movie titles for $3.96. Now, that’s a deal! I just snagged a Hart 4 piece 20V tool kit. Head to my instastories for the swipe up. Let the shopping begin. @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/317U5 #liketkit

Stone's Happy Place
Stone is having the time of his life with the toys he selected from @walmart for the holiday. And, I'm having the time of my life thanks to the everyday low prices and the 2 day shipping at Walmart. For your convenience, you can also pick up your order at a local @Walmart. Clark and Stone had a fun time getting a leg up on their Christmas list on Walmart.com so I wrote a blog post about all of the fun toys to buy @walmart Shopping for the holidays just got even better.

The End!
Today is my last day of active treatment for #breastcancer To say I am emotional is an understatement. I am forever grateful to say I am a #breastcancersurvivor I get to put my life back together again. Kinda like Humpty Dumpty. While my Instagram looks like I didn’t skip a beat, emotionally I’ve been all over the place. Standing in my own way, ambitious without action, overthinking everything, trying to balance motherhood, a social life, divorce, and a pandemic.
Today, I will complete 17/17 herceptin/perjetta treatments that began 12/9/19. I was by myself for my last chemo thanks to covid and I will be by myself today. But, thanks to you all I’m never alone.
I never in a million years would’ve imagined my life would look like the last year. So, today, I smile for the life I get to live and for the life I’m about to build.
As for breast cancer, #byefelicia

Mama’s Boys!
These two make me wish I had a sister. They love each other so much. Well, until Clark’s shuts the love fest down. I tell you Clark is the ghost of Christmas future for how I was as a teenager with my mom. I was brutal and Clark is just 9. He is always on my you know what. I call him Judge Judy because he is forever judging me. Although, nothing can take away the way he looks at me with pure love in his eyes. Stone may have terrorized me as a baby but as a kid he rocks. He’s going to make his wife so happy. He communicates how he feels, takes accountability for his actions, he’s so loving and forgiving, and funny as all get out. Does Stone come in age 40? Asking for a friend. 😝
All jokes aside, I love being a boy mom. I have an affinity to men and how they interact and love in the world. As a boy mom, I get to see how all of the stereotypes about men aren’t true. They are sensitive, they are loving, and they need to be taken care of. Society just tells us the opposite.
Happy Saturday to all the mamas today! The days are long and the years are short but it’s so worth it. Happy Saturday Peeps!
Love and Light,
Ceta

Caption This!
I’ve got nothing today. I’m tired! I am back to the “Parent Trap” lifestyle. Clark’s classroom had a case so he is at his dad’s until his test results come back. I had 3 glasses of wine @nobuchicago last night with @thechicend and Stone’s iPad alarm woke me up at 5am. The struggle 🚌 bus is back. But, did it ever really leave. 🤣
Happy Friday Peeps! #clarkandstone

Fall Style!
Have you seen @anntaylor fall collection? It’s giving me all the feels. This top is so good and the cream wide leg crop was made for me. Head over to @anntaylor and shop their fall collection. It’s so good! You can thank me later.
P.S. Check my instastories and my bio for the LINK to my feature on @anntaylor blog The Journal! The Journal shares real life stories of real women. I’m honored to be one of those women. I just LOVE the Ann Taylor team. #thisisann #fallstyle2020
