Motherhood

Intentional with My Time

November 27, 2018 in Motherhood

“I love my child, but I love Jesus more,” I remember when I first brought Elle home from the hospital I came across a newsletter with this title. Of course, I clicked because the title literally grabbed me. Just entering motherhood and seeing these...

May 20, 2018 in Motherhood

After about four months of breastfeeding, I started to struggle with my supply. Over time, I began producing less and less milk for Elle, even with her high demand; it was incredibly frustrating. Looking back, I realize there were some things I could have...

May 10, 2018 in Motherhood

We’ve been spending a lot more time outside these days. Especially since spring has finally sprung in Georgia. Sunshine equals more chances to cruise Piedmont Park,  stroll through the neighborhood, and visit one of our favorite places in the city the Atlanta Beltline. Of course,...

Review: Keenz Wagon

March 5, 2018 in Motherhood

On yesterday I shared our Keenz Wagon S7 with Instagram and being a bit ambitious I committed to posting a review within a few hours of my Instagram post. Let’s say you should not put a time stamp on completing a blog with a...

January 3, 2018 in Motherhood

The latter part of 2017 came with quite a few announcements: proposals, save the dates, and new additions to the family. As a new momma, I am thrilled to welcome more friends to the sleepless land of motherhood. Seriously, there is nothing better than...

I haven’t been on my feed much and it has a lot I haven’t been on my feed much and it has a lot to do with the work I’ve been putting into @maskedmotherhood — I don’t take it lightly that I get to serve in this space, and one day I’ll have a full system that runs like a machine, but until that happens as a wise woman told me — “clarity will come as you go.”

My greatest responsibility isn’t just to share J My greatest responsibility isn’t just to share Jesus, but show Jesus. 
•
It means nothing to share Jesus with others, and not live a fully devoted life showing the love of Jesus at home with my husband and my kids. 
•
God, guide me as wife and mom. Help me to fully show up demonstrating your love in my home. Let joy be the aroma of my home. Let forgiveness come easy. Let your light shine in and through us. Help me to serve selflessly and unto you. In Jesus name, amen.

Masked Motherhood is BACK!! 
•
If you’re new here, this is Deacon my #pandemicbaby and the reason behind @maskedmotherhood. I, like so many other moms found out I was pregnant at the beginning of the 2020 and shortly after that a global shutdown. 
•
Just like that, resources available to pregnant women were few and far in between, our spouses could no longer attend appointments, and there was so much uncertainty around if and when the pandemic would end. We were in a space of hiding as women.
•
God gave me the vision to create a space where moms could come together for bible study, prayer, and as an added bonus have experts join our weekly calls to talk with us about the new protocols for labor and delivery, our mental health as moms, navigating the postpartum phase, the pros to chiropractic care in pregnancy, and the ups and downs of breastfeeding. It was a beautiful season, and as a constant reminder we focused on 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝟒:𝟏𝟒, “𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬”, we were called to bring forth the next generation in the middle of a global pandemic.

I’m looking forward to serving in this space again as bible study leader and welcoming back experts to provide us with all the tips we need to succeed at every stage of motherhood.

Yesterday as we were getting ready, Britt’s grandma said how amazing it is that we have all remained friends over the years. 18+ years connects the 4 of us, and no time, distance, or relationship has ever come between us.

It’s a beautiful thing.

Love them all so deeply and @itsme_msb Britt Britt what an honor to stand with you as you committed to for richer or for richer (inside joke) 😂😜 with Stephen. I love you to the moon and back and back again.
