Ondria Witt, CEO
Mommy's Block Party

Welcome to Mommy's Block Party! I am Ondria- wife to Sacha and mommy to 'B' (15), Bean (9), and C (4). I am in my early 40s, and passionately manage Mommy's Block Party and care for my spunky kids. I'm a coffee addict and enjoy Pilates, and music of all genres. I love organizing, arranging, cleaning, decorating, cooking, and doing just about anything that makes a dwelling place an enjoyable home for families.

I began Mommy's Block Party in 2011 after I became a mom. I wanted a way to connect moms with the brands & products they've been using for years, and to those, they may not even know of. As parents, we want the best for our families, and MBP aims to share honest reviews about products, services, attractions, accommodations, restaurants, and more, so our readers can make informed decisions when it comes to what they spend their hard-earned money on. Through the years, we've become a trusted source for information surrounding household products, fashion & beauty, travel, food & beverages, project ideas, fitness, and more. We believe in 'word of mom' advertising- online & offline. Mommy's Block Party offers various ways to connect consumers with brands & fun opportunities for families, including:

Product Reviews & Sponsored Giveaways
Travel, Entertainment, Restaurant Reviews
Business Directory & Social Media Advertising
Sponsored Posts

Brand Ambassadorship
Press Release Publication
and more.

Fun Facts...

I enjoy freelance writing, and also blog at PROMOSPRO.

I'm married to a wonderful man, Sacha (AKA- Aleksandr), who is a graduate of The University of Maryland School of Music, with an MM, specializing in bass trombone performance.
We are both extremely active in serving at our church- St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, where I am blessed to serve as Co-Contemporary Worship Leader. It is like a second home to both of us (it's where we met & became friends in the youth group over 15 years ago), and we spend a lot of time there during the week... and on the weekends.

Come along on our journey as we laugh, cry & experience the ups and downs of parenthood together.

Susan Jackson, Sr. Contributor

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 Capella 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 too. Wilmington is full of history and I'm still learning lots of it!

Some of my favorite places to visit include Vero Beach, FL, 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 one day would 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!

Alicia Carpenter, Contributor

Hi all! I am Alicia Carpenter! I have been married to my husband Caleb for 7 years and we share two children - (6) and (4).

Although I currently reside in Salisbury, NC, I have lived all over the country for the past 10 years- New York City, Nebraska, and back to North Carolina, the state where I was raised. I love learning about and taking part in different cultures I am immersed in wherever I go, but I especially enjoy the food I am introduced to as I explore!

I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Forensic Science and a concentration in Biology. Although I’ve never worked in my field of study, I get to teach forensic science (along with biology and math) in a local Christian high school.

My family and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen baking and cooking together. Making memories is my favorite, as I am grateful for any I get to share with my little people. I treasure the close relationship we have and savor every moment, for I know time is a gift, but also passes too quickly.

I’m excited for the opportunity to share my life and experiences with you all through Mommy’s Block Party!

Dana Everhart, Contributor

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!

Susan Soler, Contributor

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!
