Jeena Wilder
Mother & Wife
Hello! I’m Jeena Wilder. I’m a Haitian- American, second generation immigrant. Born and raised in New Jersey, it is where i got my spunk and sass. I’m married to my sweet husband and we have four children. I recently lost 80 lbs on a low carb/ high fat diet (also known as keto). Losing weight finally gave me the confidence to be in photos with my children again.
I created Hey There Wilders to document our familys’ journey, to be an advocate for adoption and talk about all things motherhood.
I have a passion for matching family clothes, great deals, being financially responsible and pushing myself to learn new things. Also i literally cant say no to a coke zero and a box of gushers. Its my weakness.

![I SMELL CHILDREN!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. As a teenager I dreamed about making family matching costumes and yearly winning the best family costume award. [y'all it's the simply things in life that make me happy]
As a daughter of Haitian immigrants, my parents did not understand or celebrate Halloween. Every year I would try to make costumes out of clothes that we're already in my clothes. I spent a lot of years on Halloween dressed up as a business woman.
Then don't get me started on having my parents understand the concept of trick or treating! It just was never gonna happen. I finally snuck out of the house as teenager at 16yr old to trick or treat only to be brave enough to go to a few houses because I realize I didn't know how to do it!
Now as a mom I'm dreading the moment the kids don't want to dress up, no longer want to do family costumes or simply just don't want to.go trick or treating. It seems so crazy that the thing that I begged and prayed I would be able to do, will eventually the thing that my kids will be begging me to stop in a few years. Until then I'm going to enjoy the crazy costumes, the fun activities and stealing my kids candy.
What is your family planning on doing for Halloween this year?](https://secureservercdn.net/166.62.108.196/u1t.ce7.myftpupload.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
