Hi, I’m Marquis Clarke

Hi, I’m Marquis Clarke

I'm a modern mom of two, who strives to encourage women throughout marriage and motherhood. I embrace life as it comes with kid meltdowns, family dance parties, and snacks galore. I believe that laughter is the best medicine, simplicity is perfection, and that life is breathtakingly beautiful.

  • Being their mom is my greatest privilege 💕 — through the chaos, laughter, exhaustion and pure joy. Watching these two grow 💐 while growing alongside them has been the sweetest gift. So grateful for every little thing🤍 
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You are seen, appreciated, and doing better than you think 🌷 #MothersDay #BoyMom #GirlMom #MomLife #BlessedMama
  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨ 
She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year! Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way. Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩 #DanceRecital #hiphopgirl #ProudMom #bnclarke

  • #ad #HERDEZBrandPartner This might be my new favorite way to do dinner lately (especially when hosting!) 🙌🏼 I grabbed the new HERDEZ® Pollo Asado Marinade Mild from the salsa aisle at Walmart and it made this whole meal SO easy. Just marinate, cook, and you’ve got the most flavorful chicken ready in 30 minutes 👏🏼 I turned it into a simple charcuterie-style board with rice, beans, corn, avocado, chips + salsa so everyone could build their own rice bowls—and it ended up being one of those dinners where we actually all sat and enjoyed it together (you know those don’t happen every night 😂). It’s bold, foolproof, and perfect for chicken, steak, or whatever you have on hand. Real Mexican flavor made simple! @HERDEZBrand #HERDEZBrand #EasyFamilyMeals #SummerHosting WeeknightDinner WalmartFinds
