A How-to-Guide to Getting Through the Day and Enjoying Your Weekend

Welcome! My name is Tai. I am a new mother who is in the process of building a website/organization for young mothers.

Objective: Jeans and Coffee is a website for the everyday mom who needs suggestions on where to get a quick coffee fix, an inexpensive pair of cute jeans, and in-the-know about weekend hot spots. Don't leave out the kids, because we don't. We also offer advice on parenting, information about learning toys that help develop your child's mind, and cool arts and craft ideas that are easy to do with your little ones. Whether spending a night out on the town or snuggled up with a good book, we've got just what you need!

Although, the main focus of this website/organization is geared towards mothers, there is something for everyone.

I hope to one day become recognized for the great contributions that this organization will offer. My plan is to give back, through workshops that focuses on issues concerning Education, Women empowerment, Political issues, and Health. My vision is to help other mothers become better women, mothers, and leaders. I thank you for your support. Enjoy!

Something to Think About...




What's now Before you rush away from this moment, take a look around and see its beauty. Instead of worrying about what's next, see the immense value that's already yours in what's now.
Savor the time you're in and the place where you are. Appreciate all that you have instead of being obsessed with how to get more.

You are already wealthy beyond all measure. Open your eyes to now, open your heart to purpose, and experience in rich detail the miracle that is your life.

There's nothing to be gained by racing furiously away from this moment in search of more. Instead, put your energy into accepting all that is and you'll find it is more than enough.

Put your focus, care, love, attention, interest, curiosity, purpose and passion into where you are right now. This is your time and place to live, to achieve, to feel, to learn and to experience.

Everything you are, you are right now. Be here and live the richness.

You spend your time in different types of spaces.

Stressful space (work). Messy space (home). And sweaty space (gym).

Time for a relaxing space (the newly opened Tranquil Space spa).

The focus there is on wellness of body and mind. Choose from massage, reflexology, and ear candling, as well as psychotherapy and nutritional counseling. If you’re out for adventure, try a couple’s astrology reading or full-body henna painting.

This may just be a space you’d love to call your own!

The Spa at Tranquil Space, 1632 17th Street NW, between R and Corcoran Streets (202-328-9642 or tranquilspace.com).

Create a Vision Board!

Good Morning,

Creating a vision board keeps your goals constantly in the forefront. It is a lot easier to pursue a goal stronger if you are constantly reminded of it. You need to take actions if you want these goals to show up. It's not a magic trick, it's about you being the person who's motivated to make the impossible, possible. I challenge you to think about all of the goals you want to accomplish big or small, place them on a board and shoot for the stars. This is a great idea to introduce to your children and family. We want our children to DREAM big! Don't stop until your Good is your Better and your better is your Best. Stay positive!
