Back to school is here and time to get back to routine! This week wasn’t perfect but we have Sunday to reset and restart! Have your littles started school yet? You got this mama!💞 #backtoschool #schoolroutine #momlife #sahmlife #momof3 #routines #blackmoms #atlmoms

And just like that our babies are off to 5th, 3rd, and Kindergarten 🥹 I definitely cried, because time is a thief, but I’m so thankful I get to watch them grow. I’m thankful they’ve been my first ministry and Ive been able to pour into them for 10 years. To all the babies headed to school I’m praying over you all! Cheers to a wonderful year mamas! Have your babies started school yet? You got this mama! #backtoschool #backtoschoolshopping #momlife #momof3 #momofgirl #momofson #mommysgirl #atlmoms #blackmoms

The hardest part of motherhood is also the most beautiful part. I love seeing my babies grow, and as they prepare for back to school tomorrow I can not help but miss the sweet memories when they held my hand, and looked up me with awe and wonder. When they’d ask me to read the hungry caterpillar 7 times before bed, or laugh hysterically when I’d play peek a boo. To hold on to these memories and ensure they don’t fade. I started emailing stories and pictures. I’ve created them a free gmail account and send reflections and lessons and sweet moments in hopes one day they’ll open them and remember how loved they are. What other ways are you holding on to memories of your littles? #motherhoodjourney #cherishedmemories #sweetmom #sweetmoments #momlife #momof3 #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #familygoals❤️ #familygoals

I prayed for this home. 🙏🏾 I remember being scared to create concert in a home that I prayed for. •Scared to create content because my cabinets were brown •Afraid to show up because I didn’t think my house look like everyone else is on Instagram. •Embarrassed to showcase a home filled with love because it wasn’t fully decorated. This is a reminder to anyone out there doubting their value and their gifts because your home doesn’t fit the aesthics of social media— ✨ Your Story Matters just as much as the “perfect”backdrop.✨ Have you ever felt this way? Let’s embrace imperfections and creat me authentically. You got this mama!💕 #authenticity #authenticityoverperfection #sahmom #decluttering #cleanhomehappyhome #happylifestyle #cleaningroutine

When is the first day of school for your little ones? This is our last Friday waking up late and having a slow morning! School starts Monday and I’ll have a Kinder, 3rd, and 5th grader, and yall my heart is so full of gratitude but also hurting because…1. How did they grow so fast? 2. This is the one and only time all 3 will be together in school, and 3. Summer went so fast! This is a special reminder to the mom in the trenches, dealing with spit-up and sleepless nights, it gets easier I promise. I’m not going to say it’s not hard, we co-slept and had a son that never ever took a bottle, and one never wanted to give up her paci. 😩 In the season it felt never-ending, but here we are now preparing for one’s first day of elementary and one’s last first day of elementary. So to the moms, I see you! I celebrate you! I love you! You got this mama!

It’s the first of the month? Do yall have family meetings? We love our family meetings to discuss all things routines and travels. This calendar is my favorite because I love having my word of the month, goals, routines, and birthdays written down for me to see daily. What’s your word for this month? #familytime #routines #monthlyplanner #newgoals #goalgetters #familygoals #blackfamilies #amazonfind #momlife #backtoschoolsupplies

I remember crying so hard after that Zoom 😳😞 It’s like I just couldn’t do anything right! I’m not talented enough, cute enough, smart enough, rich enough, or educated enough— but that LIE ends today! 🩷 Speaking boldly and positively over my life and my situation. I am far from perfect! But I’m loved by a perfect God with all my flaws, and things that I may not know or lack knowledge or experience in. Yeah I can’t tell you about fancy teas, or say some of the fancier food names, but I have a big heart and I love connecting with so many of you in this mom space. So I may never make millions from selling you a course or coaching you on social media. But I’ve talked to so many of you, and we’ve prayed together, cried together in DMs, hugged in person, healing generational cycles together, uplifted each other, planned night outs and so much more. My goal for this page is to ENCOURAGE and UPLIFT and NEVER make you feel small. I’ve had people make me feel so small all my life and it’s my fault bc I’ve allowed it. You don’t have to do what I do, like I do it for me to love you, for me to see you, for me to hold space for you! I’m going to celebrate you, mama! I may never be as big as this “coach” is, but I tell you what I’ll never purposely make someone cry after talking to me. I’ll never make someone doubt themselves and their worth after being in my presence. I’ll always say it loud as I can! You Got This Mama!💕

Do your kids eat these eggies? Like every single time we go to the store, they ask for one. I’m like I literally just bought 3 kids 3,625 boxes of crayons 🖍️ and pencil pouches and Clorox wipes. But sure my love add the $3 egg to the cart 🤷🏽‍♀️😮‍💨 Please tell me I’m not alone. Today was open house and my heart is so overjoyed meeting their teachers but my pockets are like, these kids need a sponsor. Are y’all done school shopping? ✅ You got this mama!💞 #momlife #funnymom #realmomlife #backtoschoolshopping #walmartfinds #kinderus #momof3kids #momhumor #momlife😂 #kinderjoy

5 reasons why I run my dishwasher after every meal… 1️⃣Save Time: Running your dishwasher after every meal saves you from hand-washing dishes and keeps your sink clear. 2️⃣Prevent Buildup: Regular use prevents food residue buildup, keeping your dishwasher and dishes cleaner. 3️⃣Reduce Clutter: No more piles of dirty dishes on the counter or in the sink – just load and go. 4️⃣Energy Efficient: Modern dishwashers are more water and energy-efficient than washing by hand. 5️⃣Sanitize Dishes: Dishwashers use high temperatures to sanitize your dishes, ensuring they’re germ-free. It’s been a game changer for us for sure, keeping my counters clean and using @mycascade helps keep our dishes sparkling and ready for the next use. Let me know in the comments are you washing after every meal? You got this mama!💞 #cleanhome #kitchencleaning #cleanwithme #mycascade #dishwasher #sahmomlife #homemakingtips #homemaker #cleaningtipsandtricks #cleaninghacks #cleaningmotivation

Whenever I hear that I side eye 😒 They’re really my most favorite people to hang out with! Are they ungrateful at times? Yes! Do they ask 183362883837 questions? Absolutely! Do they mess up as soon as I clean up? 100%! But being with them, fills me up like nothing I can explain! Making sure they’re safe and cared for is my greatest goal! I remember days as a kid not feeling safe, not just with adults but with other kids, and we’ve made it 10+ years and they’ve never encountered some of the things I did well before their age. I know everyone tells me one day they’re going to be grownups and leave me, and though that breaks my heart 💔 I know it’s true! But what I love most is they won’t leave me, and know that I wasn’t there for the big and small moments! I was there so they were never left with kids who were a little more exposed than them. They were never left in uncomfortable situations for me to do whatever I wanted to do. Their safety is my BIGGEST PRIORITY! Called them sheltered, call me a helicopter mom, but until you’ve endured and had to try to erase memories of things you went through, I really could care less! I love LOVE LOVE being with them and nothing can ever change that, and my prayer is as they become older our relationship is so secure they come home even as adults! Never let anyone make you feel bad for spending time with your kids my friend! You got this mama!💕 #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodjourney #healingtrauma #sahmom #momof3 #traumahealing
