I’m going to be realistic and say though I hope to become more consistent with my posts…I probably won’t be for right now (so bear with me reader). However, I haven’t just been sitting around not wanting to blog, it really is busy around here! Okay enough with the ranting and randomness…
It’s almost been a year since my life changed. Since I wanted to quit my job and stay home and forsake any type of career path for at least the next five years. It’s almost been a year since I heard his first cries and saw his jet black hair (something like a toupee honestly) and couldn’t believe that God had blessed us with such a great responsibility. My little rambunctious, getting into everything, trying to conquer the world, and still cuddle at night time sweet boy will be one years old next month. Time is flying and I wish I could slow it down…

I wish I could steal one more kiss when he wasn’t moving nearly as much as now or stare at him while he slept peacefully in my arms. But to see him now exploring, discovering, and soaking up life I can’t help but love this little sponge as he does what he does best…learn. I love watching his reactions whether good or bad, or even how now he has learned how to get a reaction out of me. But none the less this year is coming to an end and simultaneously to a new beginning. What was that you asked…have I planned his birthday. OH INDEED I have!

So this is where the fun posts of ideas and status updates as I lose sleep over the BIG plans I have for his party!!

Just think Yo Gabba Gabba goes Nautical 🙂

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that be As I reflect on today, I’m most thankful that because of the work done for social justice and continuously happening now, there are resources to celebrate diversity.

Growing up there were 2 options for hair - having “good hair” or achieving “good” hair through relaxers. Natural hair was reserved for mixed girls who had bouncy curls and length. I constantly wished to be “that” mixed girl, instead of seeing the gorgeousness of who I am.

Developing the confidence to love all of me and the hair that I have took years. Lots of tears and redefining beauty. 

I’m so grateful that our boys don’t have to wish for anything other than who they are. Being able to celebrate beautiful natural hair in all its texture has built confidence in them that’s priceless. 

So today I’m celebrating and thanking @youngkinghaircare for making even more space to diversify natural hair for little kings like mine. To remind them that there is value in exactly who they are ♥️ and WE SEE YOU!! 

The ability to find these hair products on storefront shelves now in Target is beyond amazing for our family. 

If you haven’t checked them out - PLEASE DO!! We love the product and the family behind it! #makedreamsreal #naturalhairboys
