Apparently disappearing and starting a new life under a different identity is “irresponsible” when you have kids. 🙄😂

Anyway…we survived another week.

Be honest: what almost made you change your name this week?

“We got pizza at home” hits different when the toddlers are the ones making it. 😂🍕

I’ll take the extra mess for these little moments every time.🥹

What are YOUR kids making for dinner next? 👀😂

Life slowed. I still found moments worth keeping.
Thankful to God through it all. 🤍

Emerald’s debut single just dropped. 🎤

The lyrics are classified and the confidence is unmatched. 😂

Please show the artist some love in the comments. She gave y’all what she had this morning. 🤎

HAPPY MONDAY!

I am grateful. Deeply grateful.

But I still want more.

And I’m learning that wanting more doesn’t always mean I’m ungrateful for what God has already given me.

Maybe I can thank Him for where I am while still believing there’s more He’s calling me to build, become and experience.

I’m grateful for this life.

I’m just not done becoming yet. 🤎

Do you ever feel guilty for wanting more, even when you’re grateful for what you already have?

If it saves me time, keeps me from standing over the stove, or gives me one less thing to clean…it has earned its place in my pantry or on my counter.

He may not remember this lunch… but I will. 🤎

And maybe the goal isn’t for them to remember every little moment. Maybe it’s for all those little moments to become the feeling they remember when they think about home.

What’s a small moment with your kids you wish you could keep forever?

When my children’s dad is with someone who loves and cares for our kids, I’m grateful. ♥️

I trust him as their father, and that includes trusting his judgment about who he brings around them. Another woman being kind to my children doesn’t threaten my place as their mom.

For me, it comes down to this; if my kids feel safe, loved, and welcome, that’s something I can appreciate.

How do you feel about your children being around the other parent’s partner? Let’s talk respectfully in the comments. 👇🏽

The funny part about calling this ASMR is that there was absolutely nothing peaceful happening around me. 😂

Mamas, what’s the one thing your kids insist on having in their lunch? Mine are Chocolate Pudding and Tomatoes 😭

Sometimes teaching independence means letting it take 10x longer than if I just did it myself. 😂

But I want my kids to grow up trusting themselves enough to try, figure things out, and know, “I can do this.” 🤎

What’s something you’ve started easing your little one into doing on their own?

People often ask me “How do you coparent so well?”

It’s simply because NOTHING gets in the way of the best interest of my children. Not my pride, ego, emotions, or opinions. I put my kids First above anything and everything. And sometimes that means losing a battle, compromising or understanding that sometimes my way may not be the best way. And it definitely isn’t the ONLY way.

So as long as we both always move in the best interest of our children; everything else is a non-factor.

Do you think there’s a difference between co-parenting and cooperative parenting?

I’m building it while they’re living it. 🤎

They may never know how many prayers, hard decisions, and fresh starts went into creating this life for them—and honestly, that’s okay.

I just hope they remember how it felt.
