The Christmas season should be more about the experiences than the material things. In this day an age of technology and “what’s the next best thing?” it’s important to cherish the things that really matter. Family, quality time with family and experiences, making Gingerbread Houses to be exact 🏠 .... even if that means you have to take a breather to relax and keep your anxiety down 😅 Thank God for my Tough & Tender Wipes 🙌🏽 made my clean up a breeze! ✌🏽 Check my story to see how their houses came together ... well fell apart actually 😂😂 #experiences #gingerbreadhouses #anxietyrelief #breathe #family https://www.instagram.com/p/BrbTzrYFMw8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19s8zd4epcizf

🚨 Long Post 🚨 My devotional reading today mention Lamentations 3:22-23, “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” ‭‭I was stuck here for a minute thinking how God’s compassion for us renews ever morning, it doesn’t carry on from the day before but is new every morning. Being a perfectionist, my flow of self compassion is minimal at best 😩 and definitely needs to be improved upon. In true God form, He brought this lesson full circle for me quickly. I’ve been waiting and waiting for my final grade for my online class to post. I had such negative self talk, you probably got a B, you should’ve did better on that test, you should’ve pushed harder on that one assignment, blah, blah 🗣 according to the score I calculated my score was a B and I had no compassion for myself and was darn near in tears because my goal was an A. 😭 I had already TKO’d and defeated myself before taking a look at the final grade posted. Well, I checked that grade and it was an A!!! 😳😱 Yes, I received an A on the course! 🤸🏾‍♀️ This Wife, Mom of four, entrepreneur, and all that other stuff I do worked hard and got an A. But that’s not the lesson learned for me, had I gotten a B, Mama you would still rock! You should’ve still been proud of your hard work! Give yourself some grace on today. Extend self-compassion, God has a new full cup available just for you today! 😉 And guess what? You deserve it! ✨#perfectionist #perfectionistproblems #anxiety #compassion #godsword (at Baltimore County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXuubDl9pN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qe6oj6j2uwnn

It’s 11p, I’m tired; no, exhausted ... but all in all, today was a good day *in my Ice Cube voice* 👌🏽 I started my day early and with quiet time and devotion and it set my entire day on a positive course. My mind was made up at 6:30am that I would have a great day and that’s exactly what happened. 👌🏽 Frustrations came, anxiety tried to swell but I gave it no power on today and for that strength, I am grateful 🙌🏽 #win . .

This morning my alarm went off at 6:30a it was a press but I got up and enjoyed some quiet time. I had prayer, read my devotional, did a quick meditation and I sipped my #yogitea while flipping threw my #cosmo mag and listening to positive videos on YouTube before waking the boys for school. How you begin your day determines how your day will progress and end! I guess my day will progress with gratefulness🙏🏽, positivity😌 and frisky thoughts of My Love 😜 I think today is gonna be a great day 🤸🏾‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVKnZxl0MN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rusm4yqtp66d

It’s after 10pm and my 3 year old is just getting to bed, my older boys went to bed at 9pm 🤦🏽‍♀️ my plan was to get him in bed at 8:30 tonight but apparently that fell through 🤷🏽‍♀️ Mom - 0; Son 4 - 1 point. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow 🤦🏽‍♀️ What time do your kids go to bed? . . #momlife #momguilt #anxiety #bedtime https://www.instagram.com/p/BrUBaWpFA9B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12nbw9c7d2pp0

Today I took my baby boy to the library; we played pretend, we read books, he made a couple new friends, he shared, he had fun. Afterwards, we had chicken tenders and fries for lunch and then he had nap time. Spending my day with him reminded me of my goals; to be available for my children, my family and to support them financially on my own terms. Often times, we Moms have to choose between our families and our work and we deal with Mom guilt when we fall short in an area, or am I the only one? 🤔 I’ve been making adjustments to balance family and work and by George I think I’ve got it! ☝🏽 Hey 2K19, bring it on, hit me with your best shot! 2K18 taught me a lot about myself and made me a stronger, wiser version of me. I got clear goals and Godly direction, there’s not much you can do to stop me from moving forward! Here’s to balance and progress! 🥂 #momlife (at Storyville at Rosedale) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTH7gjFadE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rgvlpectp7co

My skin care routine has been sketchy these last few weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️ With all I have to do sometimes my small necessary self-care activities sometimes get pushed to the back burner 😩 As dry and rough as my nose was, I could NOT let another day go by with out handling the matter. So, what did I do? I woke up early, took my shower, and applied my bomb clay mask 👌🏽 I mixed it with a lil coconut oil and water shellacked it all over and had a quiet jam session with Mr. #danielceasar before I woke the kids for school. 🥰 My Green Tea Clay Mask got my skin all the way together, ok 🙌🏽 and for 5 bucks?! I call that a major steal! 🤸🏾‍♀️ Skin crisis adverted! 😏 #natural #beauty #claymask #shecute #momlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BrP-6lil3c9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14kl27pb3jias

My morning was extra chaotic 😣 one kid forgot his hoodie, the other two fought over a pair of jeans and I don’t even want to talk about how heavy traffic was 🙄 Running late and in a hurry but this lil guy made sure we buckled his Wolfy in, because safety first right? 🤷🏽‍♀️ . #momlife #roughmorning #momofboys #safetyfirst #cutie https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqxf8PylxGc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a033s7qqze74

Do y’all give your kids daily multivitamins? 🤔 I just started again giving them to my boys, the loved the gummies because they were close to candy so I was leery about these chewables. My boys can be picky 🙄 thank God these taste like cherry candies! 🙌🏽 I don’t have to crush them and add them secretly to their oatmeal 😅 . #pickyeaters #momofboys #vitamins https://www.instagram.com/p/BqusCVGlYIT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=145lcq3vsgn1r

It took me a very long time to figure out that my body spray was causing my eczema to flare up on my chest because of the alcohol content 😩 and silly me just kept using it because it smelled good 🙄 I’m elated to finally have a body spray that 1️⃣ smells amazing, 2️⃣ is natural, and that’s right 3️⃣ does not contain alcohol! 🙌🏽 Check the link in my bio for this and other awesome smelling goodies! 🥰🤸🏾‍♀️ . #bathandbodyworks #bodyspray #beauty #eczema #natural (at Baltimore County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqTfujl3xR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7qu1tvvqs2v8

The holidays always bring their share of germs to the home; because my boys have dealt with colds, Flu, fevers, seizures, you name it, during the winter months, I usually go to town with the bleach and Lysol. Well, this time around I’m doing things slightly different. I’m still disinfecting and I’m still going to town, but I’ve chosen a healthier option 🌱 Today, I’m armed and uniformed in my robe, spraying everything they touch and later they can spray their own rooms 👌🏽 because this momma is tired 😩slow and steady will win this race 🏆#momwin #momofboys #fluseason #nontoxic #botanical #holidays https://www.instagram.com/p/BqcqeZrl-pq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w5wsxsgmihc6
