This time last year, I was a hustling, full-time CEO who had the opportunity to film a Lifetime TV reality show. Filming for a month, I spent most days pinching myself because I could not believe this was my life. After years of vision boards with my name in lights, me attending award shows, even […]
It’s sooooo hard to believe that my sweet babygirl is about to turn 6 months old, y’all!!! 6 months!! I started this series in August when she was a mere 3 months and she’s already halfway to one year now—that’s unreal!! Anyway, thanks for reading along on my journey of postpartum rediscoveries as a second-time […]
I joined a new small group earlier this month and delve right into a discussion about responding to pressure. One of the ladies in my group shared how she typically responds to pressure when going through it with someone else. She said whatever approach the other person takes on (i.e. panic or plan), she will […]
This week I want to share about another truth I’ve discovered–especially in this season of postpartum: being intentional. In earlier years, I liked to call myself a “free bird,” a “free spirit,” or even a “rebel.” I’d do things on my own time, letting some things go undone under the guise of ‘I don’t want to be […]
It was week 8 of being home with our newborn and I felt a kind of “autopilot” gear kick in. I was fully functioning in the day-to-day tasks, but if I’m honest—I was in a daze. Wake up, feed baby, change diaper, pump, wash bottles, eat, go here, go there, wash this, wash that, repeat. […]
As a new, two-time mother, I’ve spent the last two months at home quite a bit with my newborn. She’s headed into 3-months as fierce as she knows how, and I’ve so enjoyed reliving the newborn stage! Sure, I’m exhausted and at times a little more feisty than usual, but I’m enjoying every bit of […]
Okay! So, I promised myself I’d finish grad school homework, housework, and entering grades before I wrote this post! Here I am at 11:24 PM STILL FIRED UP about the Black Panther movie premiere my family and I went to see on Friday night! IT WAS SO GOOD!!! For so many reasons! I couldn’t help […]
What do you want to achieve in 2018? What changes would you like to see in order to improve your circumstances in life? If you could accomplish your biggest dream in 2018, what would it be? That dream that you are reluctant to share because you don’t want anyone to know how crazy you are […]
I can remember putting together puzzles as a little girl. It was one of my favorite things to do. I even enjoyed assembling the same ones over and over at times. Even though this was a favorite pastime, there were elements of it that puzzled me (pun so intended). I didn’t understand why some pieces […]
Pee on the seat cover… Smacking on his favorite snack in bed… Cutting me off mid-sentence after HE asked ME a question!?! Rushing me out of the door… Maybe these things could be super annoying in a marriage–oh wait, they are! Trust me, I know this all too well! I’ve definitely been a victim to all of […]
