Ali has a lot to juggle being a wife, mom, entrepreneur and fitness enthusiast, but she’s found ways to get her whole family involved with home up-keep and she she shared her tips with theGrio.
“A successful family really comes down to balance. A lot of times everything falls on moms’ shoulders, but we have to remember to take care of ourselves because if you don’t, you end up not being the best version for yourself for your family,” noted Ali, who stressed the importance of self-care and creating a peaceful home.
