I constantly ask God, “What were You thinking when You gave me a child?!” But every day, He shows me that being a mother isn’t just about raising my son, it’s about Him revealing His unconditional love for me through this motherhood journey and then learning how to pour that same love into my son. Sometimes, it feels like all the effort goes unnoticed, but then moments like this remind me that nothing is in vain. 🥹
As moms, we pour so much into our kids every day, but nothing hits quite like hearing them pour it right back into us. So, to the moms who need this today: YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND YOU’RE SO SMART ❤️

Bean and I have been in Dallas for 7 months now and haven’t really explored Dallas-Fort Worth that much. So, I decided that I was going to find kid and budget-friendly places for us to go.
I always see @perotmuseum when I’m driving into downtown. You can’t miss the beautiful architecture of the building including the dinosaur in the window. So, it was only fitting that this be added to our list. But when I found out admission was only $1 per person for us, it shot right up to the top of the list and we were on our way expeditiously 😅
Dallas family, where should we go next? 👀

I had no idea what to do on Christmas Eve with Bean. This is the first Christmas that he could kind of understand the concept, so I wanted to make it special for him. It started off rocky, frfr. 😅
I asked if he wanted to make cookies for Santa. He said “hmmm no thank you”. Then, I put on The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but he cried for the first half hour before I gave up. 😅
I put so much pressure on myself to make things so perfect, but all he truly wants and needs is my love and quality time. ❤️
This is just the beginning of more holiday traditions to come and I’m so excited to create these memories together! 🥰
MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not letting shame shame me anymore. For a while, I thought that I had done something wrong, but in reality, I was obedient to God and sometimes being obedient to God is not a pretty process. However, the results will be AMAZING. I’ve asked God to take this cup from me (MULTIPLE TIMES), but I had to surrender my will for HIS. No matter how crazy I look, the backlash I may get, or who will be disappointed, I’m committed to my walk with God. I want to be a woman after His heart.
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24
Be encouraged ❤️
The @womanevolve conference had been giving me life!!! I’m not going to lie. Living a surrendered life is ROUGH. There are so many things going wrong in my life right now, but I will keep serving and my eyes focused on HIM. NOTHING or NO ONE can still my joy.

In my early 20s, I was in a toxic relationship that left me feeling hopeless and alone. I was suicidal, but I kept it to myself because I thought my reason wasn’t “good enough.” But here’s the truth: Suicidal thoughts are valid, no matter the reason.
This National Suicide Prevention Month, let’s change the narrative. Your pain is real, and you deserve to be heard. Let’s keep the conversation going—you’re not alone in this.
If you are in crisis right now, you can text or call the suicide hotline at 988. This number will connect you to free and confidential mental health support. If you’re struggling to process your thoughts and feelings, @equilibria_psychological is available to support you. Let’s heal together. 💛 #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth #SuicidePrevention #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthMatters #ChangeTheNarrative #EndTheStigma
The most therapeutic thing about my days hands down has been my skincare routine…I don’t know why it took me so long to take care of my skin, especially since my skin is super sensitive. Nevertheless, my skin has become my baby and if you’re 30+ and you’re seeing this, do yourself a favor and develop a skincare routine ASAP Rocky. I know they say “black don’t crack”, but do you really wanna test that theory 👀😭
Btw, how cute are the Inside Out 2 designed products from @bubble 😍

Ever since I asked @chatgpt to roast my timeline, I cannot stop thinking about it saying “Your Instagram feed looks like it’s auditioning for the role of ‘Pinterest Mom Meets Fashion Influencer…’” That’s exactly how I feel like my life is going right now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I worked GOSHDARN hard for this life dagnabbit 🤷🏽♀️😭
