Ondria Witt, CEOMommy's Block Party
Welcome to Mommy's Block Party!
Hi, I'm Ondria—wife to Sacha, mom to three amazing kids (B, 15; Bean, 9; and C, 4), creator of Mommy's Block Party, coffee enthusiast, worship leader, and believer that home is so much more than a place—it's where memories are made.
I launched Mommy's Block Party in 2011 shortly after becoming a mom. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a trusted family lifestyle resource where parents can discover products, destinations, services, and experiences that genuinely make family life better.
As parents, we're constantly making decisions about how to spend our time, money, and energy. My goal has always been to provide honest, experience-based recommendations that help families make informed choices with confidence. Over the years, Mommy's Block Party has become a trusted source for family travel, home and garden inspiration, parenting resources, seasonal living, entertainment, wellness, food, faith, and product discovery.
At Mommy's Block Party, you'll find:
Product Reviews & Sponsored Giveaways
Family Travel & Destination Features
Restaurant & Entertainment Reviews
Home & Lifestyle Inspiration
Seasonal Gift Guides
Sponsored Content & Brand Partnerships
Family-Friendly Events & Experiences
Amazon Finds & Shopping Inspiration
Above all, I believe in the power of authentic recommendations and real-life storytelling. The best advice often comes from people who have actually been there, tried it, and lived it—and that's exactly what you'll find here.
A Little More About Me
When I'm not creating content, you'll likely find me enjoying a strong cup of coffee, working in the garden, tackling a home project, leading worship, organizing a space that desperately needs attention, or spending time with my family.
My husband, Aleksandr ("Sacha"), is a classical bass trombonist and college music educator, and together we've built a life centered around family, faith, music, and community. We're deeply involved in our church family, where I serve as a Contemporary Worship Leader. It's a place that holds a special place in our hearts—it's where Sacha and I first met as teenagers and where we've continued to grow in faith and friendship throughout the years.
Join the Journey
Parenting is a beautiful, messy, exhausting, joyful adventure, and none of us were meant to do it alone. Whether you're here looking for travel inspiration, trusted product recommendations, family-friendly ideas, or simply encouragement for the journey, I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to Mommy's Block Party—where families discover what's worth buying, doing, and experiencing.

Hi Everyone! I currently reside in Wilmington, NC, where I spend my days figuring out how to impact the lives of children, youth, and their families, serving as a youth director at St. Paul's Lutheran church.
I am passionate about my undergrad institution, Lenoir- Rhyne University, including LR Football, the A Cappella Choir, and its alumni program. While I don't consider myself a history buff, I like learning about the past history, culture, and people of the places I travel to. Wilmington is full of history, and I'm still learning lots of it!
Some of my favorite places to visit include Vero Beach, FL, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, and all things related to NC/SC coastal towns. My travel addiction has also led me to be a Disney addict, and I would one day love to go to the resort in Hawaii! When I'm not chasing leading children/ teens in programming, I try to take time to read, bake, or visit the beach. I look forward to sharing life with you!

Hello, I’m Dana Everhart. I’m so excited for the opportunity to join Mommy’s Block Party. I am a first-time mom to the most perfect little boy. I am married to my best friend - a cliché, but true! Family is very important in our household, and we dedicate our Sundays to spending quality time together.
Born and raised in North Carolina, I believe in southern hospitality and that little kindnesses can make a big impact. I currently work at a Montessori school where I am the lead guide for our Children’s House classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, specifically fantasy and romance. I have recently developed a deeper love for cooking and am always looking for the next great recipe. I am excited to get to share a small part of my life with you!

Hello from the state of Pennsylvania! I am Susan, a mom of two, 10 and 8, boy and girl, who are my everything, and a proud dog mom to Ember (a miniature Bernedoodle who is seriously the most adorable dog you'll ever see) and Riley, an aging 10-year-old Havanese.
As a single mom, sharing custody, my life is full to the brim with navigating everyday life doing my best to balance a full time career, two young children, lots of extra curricular activities (competitive cheer, softball, baseball, soccer to name a few), and fitting in as many concerts, books (read and listened to) and beach trips to Delaware as possible. My kids are truly my world, and I am always thinking about what activities we can do next. You'll regularly find us at the trampoline park on the weekends to get our energy out, making an impromptu batch of cookies, or even camping out in the backyard. I truly believe that we are such examples to our children, and showing them that they are capable of anything they want out of life is so important to me. I love to try out new products and opportunities that have the opportunity to make each day a bit more enjoyable or more stress-free!
I look forward to sharing life with you all - there is never a full moment!
