On their Isle of Moms TikTok and Instagram platforms, Jennifer Prod and Lisa Ernst showcase how they are “Celebrating the good happening right here at home and the people, places and moments that make our island home so special.”
The dynamic social media duo explained, “What started as two friends with wild ideas has turned into creating, dreaming, laughing and connecting with the most inspiring people around the island and in Charleston.”
Prod and Ernst added that they are building their following by featuring the interiors of local homes, small businesses, everyday acts of kindness, island happenings, local gems and behind-the-scenes moments. Previous posts have documented them reviewing the fish tacos at the IOP Marina, showing how they paint a surfboard found on the beach, sharing ideas about how to overcome distractions while prepping for game night and storm prepping by enjoying a spa day at the Wild Dunes Resort.
On their page, taking dance breaks anywhere and everywhere they go, such as while shopping at the grocery store, is normalized. “Errands? Nope, just adventures disguised as errands. We went in focused and then remembered we’re us,” they laughed.
Additionally, belting ballads while rocking out to rap beats like Nelly and using kitchen tongs for emphasis or making Blender Bomb smoothies at the beach before school pick-up are standard activities.
Off-island adventures include taking day trips to Charleston to interview college students about what they miss most about their moms and dads. “It made us extra grateful for the little people still under our roof and for the big kids out there carving their own path,” the moms said. Also, they share their visits to Mount Pleasant, where on one occasion they stop into HomeGoods and show followers how they like to shop for Christmas merch.
While neither Prod nor Ernst like to cook, they do love celebrating and hosting dinner parties by collaborating with private chefs, florists and event planners who help create the magic.
Driving around on the golf cart to make someone’s day by giving out compliments, cookies and dahlias is also a favorite pastime, according to the moms. “That’s what we’re about, giving back to the community we love by shining a spotlight on the people and places that make the Isle of Palms and Charleston so special. Small gestures can make a big difference.”
