    Congratulations!! As soon as I saw the name I remembered the song “Zion” by Lauryn hill. If you get a chance, play it on your spotify! Rest up and well done mama!

    Now the joy of my world is in Zion
    Now the joy of my world is in Zion

    How beautiful if nothing more
    Than to wait at Zion’s door
    I’ve never been in love like this before
    Now let me pray to keep you from
    The perils that will surely come
    See life for you my prince has just begun
    And I thank you for choosing me
    To come through unto life to be
    A beautiful reflection of his grace
    For I know that a gift so great
    Is only one god could create
    And I’m reminded every time I see your face

I like to make people happy.✨ Author of #thekindnessantennae 🎉 💛Psalm 28:7💛
  • Everyone brings something for the baby… but don’t forget about the mama! 🤍

Someone made me an “after-birth basket” when I had my last baby, and I still remember how loved and cared for it made me feel. So now I love doing the same for other new mamas. 🥹

A few favorite snacks, a magazine, a cute hair clip, pads for postpartum bleeding + nursing, lip oil, a fun drink… just little things to make those first days at home a tiny bit more comfortable.

But my FAVORITE part? 🥹 A printed and framed photo of their brand-new family with the new baby. 🤍

Because in a season when so much attention (rightfully!) goes to that precious new little one, sometimes mama needs a little reminder:

We see you, too. We’re celebrating you, too! Here are some diapers for you, too. 😂

Such a simple gift. Such a sweet way to love on a new mom! 🩷🩵🩷

  • The Queen was welcomed to Heaven today. ❤️‍🩹

There are no words to adequately express what earth lost this morning. She was selfless, loving, kind, fun, glamorous, hard-working, positive, faithful, and so strong - right up to the end. 🤍

I grieve not being able to hear the sound of delight in her voice when we talked. She always called me her little Songbird. Her laugh was like tinkling bells. She taught me so much about loving God and loving others and living in quiet, faithful excellence for His glory. 🙌🏻

I’m just so thankful that her legacy lives on in my own mom and her 5 siblings and their families! Truly one of a kind people, living for God, faithfully and in His strength, day in and day out. 💛

Mom-Mom! I love you so much. I will miss you so much. I can’t wait to see you again. 🕊️

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants.”

  • 🌴 I love palm trees. 🌴 

They don’t break in storms - they bend *with* the storm. ⛈️ (John 16:33)

They stay green all year round. 💚 (Psalm 92:14)

They grow best when it’s hot. ☀️ (Jeremiah 17:8)

They produce good fruit to be a blessing to others. 🥥 (Galatians 5:22-23)

They point straight up to heaven, reminding us of the goal. ⬆️ (Philippians 3:20)

Their branches are symbolic of victory. 🌿 (John 12, Revelation 7)

Go and be like a palm tree today! 🏝️🙌🏻🤩

“The righteous will flourish like the palm tree…” Psalm 92:12

Noah is eating 3 scoops of ice cream from the Ben and Jerry’s shop and I am wishing this night will never end!
