Celebrating my girls is always special, but this year was extra meaningful as we celebrated not just one, but three of my daughters’ birthdays with a Pastel Princess Carnival! I wanted to create a celebration that truly reflected the joy they bring into our lives. It was a day filled with love, fun, and unforgettable moments, all wrapped up in soft pastel colors. Here's how I pulled it off!

A lot of people look down on stay-at-home mommies but I think it's such a great sacrifice to make! Now, this is not to say that anyone who isn't a SAHM is bad... there are pros & cons to every journey and every family dynamic is different. Today I just want to highlight what I LOVE about being a SAHM for those who have been turned off by the negative stigma. I don't view my portion as tasks "I have to" check off a list, but as opportunities, I get to experience! So let's begin!...
1. Don't let anyone look down on you
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12
When you're a young wife, people will tend to say things like, "Wow, you're married!? Why'd you get married so young?" or "Why didn't you wait a little longer?" When you first encounter these comments, you may feel a bit belittled... like, am I not qualified for marriage because of...
Ocean Coral Spring Resort in Trelawny, Jamaica, is a member of h10 hotels and offers a luxurious stay for travelers. In this blog post, we will review the resort's sleeping rooms, food, amenities, entertainment, and security, and share our honest opinion about whether it is worth the price.
Arrival and Security
Upon arrival, the security at the gate is on point, and the location feels safe and secluded. Only guests with reservations are allowed into the resort, and there are security guards...
I was the queen of dating! Let me tell you... every other week I had another boyfriend. What I thought was "cool" at that moment and the very thing that I thought validated me, is the one thing that reminds me of how broken I really was. You see, I thought my relationship status was the answer to my loneliness... but I found myself even lonelier when I was in those relationships. "How," you say? Because the more and more I created idols out of my boyfriends, the more and more I lost touch...
Before I got saved, my greatest aspiration was to be a fashion model. I spent countless hours watching the show, "America's Next Top Model," attending casting calls and even convinced my mom to spend money on modeling school. While other kids were out at the movies, I would be having mini photo shoot sessions at home and spend hours editing the photos after. I actually enjoyed this. Then, when I got saved, that part of me died. My heart was exposed and I realized just how vain,...
Hold up! Is this seriously about to be my first fashion blog post!? I am excited out of my mind!

So here is what I have in my closet for date night this spring!

Hey my lovelies! I'm back with another fashion look! I'm calling this one, "Dress to Empress" because I seriously feel like a Royal Empress, or Queen, with these puffy sleeves!
Just for fun...
Definition of Empress: A woman who is a sovereign ruler of great power and rank, especially one ruling an empire. Queen Elizabeth would wear sleeves like this all the time In modern terms, that basically means, A BOSS! LOL
Here are the deets:

It's so easy for us to judge someone from the outside. It's so easy to say, "she's so holy" or "he's so this" and "he's so that." It's so easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and fail to take time to step back and work on building our own walk with God.
Some of us spend so much time judging one another and looking at what everyone else is doing instead of keeping our eyes on Christ and on the work that He's trying to do within us.
Maybe you feel like you don't measure up...
True worship is a lifestyle, not a one-time experience. When we often think of "worship," we imagine the right songs and atmosphere. The thing is, worship is more than that.
The Bible says that we must worship God "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). I asked God what does this mean and wondered how could I worship Him in spirit and in truth...
Then, He led me to Deuteronomy 6:5 which says,
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."...
For years, some of you have been asking, pleading, and searching for the voice of God. You did all that you could to draw near to Him. You followed the steps that this preacher and that preacher recommended. You read your bible, made sure you had quiet time early in the morning, cut off unhealthy relationships, and more!
When you first began hearing God speak, you were so excited. You couldn't get enough of hearing His voice and would not hesitate to share with the world saying, "God told me...
Soul ties are REAL. I recall having a soul-tie once. That means, my soul was spiritually intertwined with someone. I had a very close relationship with that person for about 5 years and we went through the phases: "friends," "best friends," "dating," and even "engagement." I did not have to have sex to form my soul tie but it came from my overly close and co-dependent relationship with this person.
I idolized that relationship and put it above my relationship with God. My soul tie and my...
Today, we’re talking about a resort located at one of the best beaches in the nation! A place as beautiful as it is paradisiacal, where you live a unique and unrepeatable experience, with spectacular food and a recreation area with zip line, paddleboarding, and much more. This was my experience at Rum Fish Beach Resort and believe me, I am extremely satisfied.
In this blog post, I will be describing the wonderful experience and atmosphere that my husband and I had the opportunity to...
We took the kids to Disney world for the first time and we had a BLAST!
1. BRING A STROLLER - Our double stroller was a LIFESAVER! The Magic Kingdom alone is about 107 acres. That's a lot of walking! Give your kids a break (and your shoulders a break from carrying them) by bringing a stroller with you. Near every ride, there are sections for stroller parking as you go to wait in line.
2. STAY HYDRATED: Bring a spray-fan bottle to keep your kids refreshed and cool. Just...
During our most recent trip to Disney World's Magic Kingdom, we decided to enjoy our stay at the Orlando Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World. Let me tell you, this hotel is a kid's DREAM. We were all different sad to leave, especially my 4-year old daughter, Evy.
1. THE KID ZONES are AMAZING! At the Four Seasons, there is a Splash Pad, Water Slides, and also a complimentary Kids club where you can drop off your kids for a few hours a day.
2. Character Breakfast...
