Unexpected day home…

August 27, 2013 Leave a Comment

So today was lovebug’s One Year check-up and after four shots at the pediatrician we ended up home with lots of snuggles and a very long nap…and I napped too (30 peaceful minutes v. his 3 hours!). However, I didn’t intend to be home today, but helpful hubby scheduled the appointment not realizing that 1. He forgot which day and 2. It was at 10:30am – since I’m already 30 minutes away from my job I pretty much can scratch my day after being done close to noon… So we ended up home. Honestly I didn’t realize I needed it, but I guess I did. Though I had grand plans of doing a ton of things, the internet was down in our area (really?). So I actually did rest, worked on some new ideas for the shop and even created goals for the shop, this blog, and my life! Who knew it would turn so productive?!?!

One of my favorite things today was the fact that I got my Mug Swap box in!! Check it out
This was my first ever swap to sign up for and I LOVED IT!! I really enjoyed sending out something to my partner and just having fun with it. From the mug to the painting to the chocolate (which I happily ate during nap time) I felt so special and really loved what I received. Ever get something and not really like it…well this didn’t happen today! I’ve already found a place for my painting and I’ve had 2 cups of coffee from my mug. So we can pretty much say this was a total WIN. I liked this experience so much I’m getting ready to host a swap of my own with another lovely Instagram handmade shop owner! Stay tuned for details.

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
If we can gift our kids anything - quality time ov If we can gift our kids anything - quality time overrides it all.

In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 yea In just a few months we’ll be celebrating 10 years.

I love who we are today, because of how we committed to growing/learning through the last nine years. 

Working on ourselves has made room to see the worth and value of us together. 

Expecting your partner to be everything, fix everything, and fill everything - will leave you with nothing. For me to be at my best I have learned that space and role is reserved for Christ.

Releasing those expectations, owning your growth, and finding ourselves deeper in Jesus continues to be our glue. 

That and lots of random 😏 time... these kids didn’t show up on their own. #ourownmarriagegoals
Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry
