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.

  • ✏️✨ Stop stressing about a last minute teacher appreciation gift - this cute one will arrive before the end of the week! 🙌🏻 COMMENT “shop” for the links. I threw together the easiest teacher gift idea and it turned out so cute— a key fob🔑, hand sanitizer with a holder, a gift card (because we always need coffee ☕️), and a printable tag to tie it all together. 💕or save this for an end of year teacher gift because you will need one again. + send to a mom who forgot teacher appreciation week too 😂 #teacherappreciationgift #teachergiftideas #teachergifts #endofyearteachergift #momlifehacks / https://liketk.it/6bwCB
  • #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
  • The Run for the Rosé Derby party at @guardandgracehouston last night was so fun! 🌺 There was over 50 wines 🥂 to choose from for sampling, delicious bites and a huge charcuterie snack spread. Not to mention all the fun Derby outfits! 👒🐎 #thingstodoinHouston #houstonfood #houstoninfluencer #houstonrestaurants #houstontexas

They’re quick, kid-approved, and so easy to turn into something fun—whether it’s a snack board, after-school bite, or little movie night moment 💛 Made with no antibiotics ever, 100% all natural, plus 9g protein and Omega-3s… so I feel just as good serving them as my kids do eating them 🙌🏻 Trust me—next Costco trip, just grab them. #CostcoFinds #MomLifeMadeEasy #EasyFamilyMeals #FreezerStaples KidApproved @yummydinobuddies
