It still amazes me how you can feel simultaneously

It still amazes me how you can feel simultaneously so annoyed by and so in love with someone.

How you can be so frustrated wrestling this tiny human to put his socks on while secretly admiring how cute his little toes are!

How you couldn’t possibly stay in their room to read 1 more book without going insane, But 1/2 hr later, you’re standing above them watching them sleep like a stalker!

Motherhood is wild!

Messy hair, sand-covered clothes, time spent toget

Messy hair, sand-covered clothes, time spent together. These are the unfiltered moments that I’ll look back on and smile because this is real life. Holding my baby’s hand and keeping him safe, this is what brings me peace in times of chaos.

I had to take a mini detox from social media the last couple of weeks. My screen time was down 40%, my mental health up by that much or more. Here’s why...
  With everything that’s been going on in the past few weeks (*months, year!)I feel like lately, instead of engaging with social, I’m over consuming it in a negative way. I’m watching these videos, and reading the comments and being triggered; then I’m walking away and doing it all over again later in the day.

I’m not sure what the solution is. But I know a couple of weeks away helped!

Do what you have to protect your peace if that means turning off the TV, getting off Social, or leaving your phone at home!!

How are you protecting your peace during times of chaos?

Over the last two and a half years my me time has

Over the last two and a half years my me time has been almost non existent! Up until last Friday I hadn’t spent a single night away from Xavier!

As mamas we hear it all the time, find time for self care, give yourself a break! But it’s not always that easy!
So when an opportunity came up to have a night stay ALONE, I didn’t walk, I ran!!

Y’all let me tell you, a night away felt like heaven on Earth!

I didn’t realize how fatigued I really was until I had a moment to rest!

So mamas, find time for some self care, be selfish for a day if you can, and enjoy some glorious YOU time!

I thought with Xay switching from 2 days a week to

I thought with Xay switching from 2 days a week to full-time daycare again, I’d have a tired, cranky toddler on my hands. But I’m surprised at how well he’s handling the shift!

The other morning while rushing to get him out the door, pushing him down the walkway, rushing to get him in the car, he stood beside the car, stopped and looked up! Annoyed, I said, “Xay, hurry up and get in” he responded, “I’𝘮 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭. “
My heart melted. Oh, this boy!
So I stopped and looked up with him, present in that moment, and noticed how beautiful the trees really are.

Sometimes our reminders to slow down and be present and grateful slap us in the face a little.

So here is Xavier’s reminder to stop, look up, and notice whatever lesson is being shown to you! 🌱

Stepping into this week inspired, renewed and read

Stepping into this week inspired, renewed and ready to get things done! I hope everyone had a good Easter Weekend!

Started my day by dropping Xay off at daycare for his first time back full time since last year March 💃🏾.
I have to admit, I think he’s better off being around other kids all day, and I’m excited to see how productive I can be without having a toddler home with me 5 days a week!

Can you believe we’re a quarter of the way through the year already!!!

Every single day I am so grateful for the ability

Every single day I am so grateful for the ability to love him, learn from him, and grow with him.

This year hasn’t been easy for most of us, I’m sure! I have spent more time with this small human than I care to admit. There have been lots of tears(for both of us ... because #toddlerlife) lots of frustration, but so much joy!

I hope that the growth and rebirth of spring and Easter remind you of all the GOOD things coming, and all the joy in your life. 🌸

Happy Good Friday! What are your plans for the long weekend?
