These are my absolute favorite Mommy & home items.
We are approaching the end of April and I have officially lost track of how long we have been in quarantine. Honestly most days I barely know what day of the week it is. 😩 We are definitely living in some interesting times. 🙃When the year started nobody would have ever predicted that just 3 months in we would all be confined to our homes trying to protect ourselves and our families from Covid-19. Life has a funny way of throwing us some unpredictable curve balls. 😕
Read MoreThe end of 2019 was very overwhelming for me. I had a very busy year with work. I think I did about 6 or 7 trips back forth to Chicago for the year, 11 wedding, countless photo sessions, and that’s just with work. We also bought a house, got 2 dogs, made plans to expand our family, went to San Antonio twice to see family and were gone for both Thanksgivings and Christmas. All of this with Ken (my hubby) preparing for a 6 month deployment scheduled to leave in 2 weeks ago in January. I felt like my head was spinning. I had so much to do and plan for and absolutely no focus or drive to…
Read MoreHappy Saturday guys! And also happy New Year! My original intention for this post was to share it a little over a week ago. But as you can see, that didn’t happen. With the holidays, traveling, and a brand new puppy I have definitely had my hands full. But I hope you all had a wonderful 2018 and holiday season. But like me, I hope you all are expecting an even better 2019. Today I am sharing my beginning of the year tradition. Right before the start of every new year I have gotten into the habit of choosing a word or phrase that I want the year to encompass. I do this because I believe that words hold a lot of power and the things we say…
Read MoreWelp guys, today is the Big THREE OH (30) and I could not be more grateful! 🙌🏾 For allot of people I know 30 is a hard pill to swallow. My mom and grandmother said they both shed some tears on their 30th birthday because it was the first time they ever felt like they were old. 😫 Now I can not promise there won't be any tears but I will say that I do not feel old. Honestly I feel like my life is just beginning. Like 30 is where life is actually going to start getting good…
Read MoreFirst I want to start this letter by simply saying thank you. And not thank you for the things I normally thank you for, like food, shelter, safety and my family. While I am very grateful for those things today I want to specifically thank you for a promise you gave me 3 years ago, a door you opened almost 2 years ago, a question you prompted 5 months ago, and a covenant you fulfilled 31 days ago. Thank you for my Husband...
Read MoreWhen I first started seeking a closer relationship with God, about a year ago, I joined an online bible study group with women around my age. We wanted to learn more about God. We talked about all different...
Read MoreThis past weekend I attended homecoming at Howard University for the first time since graduation (c/o 2010). It was like a walk down memory lane. Overall it was a good trip, but it brought back some not so great memories. While I was walking around at events with my two good friends, I noticed how many people they knew and that were happy to see them. On the other hand, I didn't know very many people at all, even though we all went to the same school at the same time. I did run into a few people I knew very well at one point, but the friendship ended on bad terms years ago. That was pretty awkward. I really only made a two lasting connections in college.
Read MoreThere are so many of us dealing with unresolved anger, disappointment, and hurt from the actions (or lack there of) of people in our lives. As a result it seems as if many of us have adopted a new mentality...
Read MoreAs I explained before I grew up in the church. I joined the church and was baptized when I was about 5 or 6. I was in the choir, dance ministry and girl scouts in my church from about age 6 until about 11. I enjoyed doing these things but...
