Weekend Adventures: Me, Mine, Stop!

June 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

The last few days Kai has been waking up sporadically in the early parts of the morning. I can’t figure out if it’s bad dreams or he is just enjoying spending the remainder of his rest snuggled under my armpit… either way I’m hoping tonight helps us get back into our normal routine.

It’s been so nice outside, I’ve refused to be kept in the house if I can help it. So after Kai woke up from quite a short nap, we headed to a nearby park and to get some fresh air. Lately Kai has been really into his independence and as much as it can be bittersweet, I’m really proud of him. I could do without the words mine and no no stop when I try to lend a helping hand, but still none the less he really is coming into his own. Our park trip didn’t disappoint as Kai insisted on climbing by himself, jumping, and only yelling for “elp” when it was a life or death type of situation. As always here are some pictures of the weekend, including one of this afternoon where we sat and colored on the sidewalk while eating Popsicles and waiting for daddy to finish his homework (finally the last year of his master’s program).

I would like to note that it is so important to make sure your little ones are wearing caps and sunscreen! Regardless of skin tone or complexion everyone can have negative effects of sun damage that can easily be prevented. So be sure to pick up some sunscreen and apply before you head out to play, I promise you’ll be glad and so will they!

Did I mention we are teething again? These Popsicles are a lifesaver right now…didn’t we just finish with a set of teeth?

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed some awesome summer weather!!

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
