Noah insisted on wearing his snow boots to Virgini Noah insisted on wearing his snow boots to Virginia but it was 75 degrees. 🥴On our way home, something smelled like salt and vinegar and I looked behind me and saw that the smell was these 10 little stinky toes. 🙊Good thing he is cute tho, and the boots definitely worked on keeping those little feet warm. We will be making these long road trips a lot more in the future, and it reminds me that in life while the journeys are never perfect, getting there is all that really matters. ♥️
First stop… Coney Island! 🌭One thing we learn First stop… Coney Island! 🌭One thing we learned about Detroit super fast is that there’s a Coney Island on every corner.📍But before we find our regular neighborhood Coneys, we had to take adventure to visit the original one Downtown. The food and service was fast and great- plus we had a great time experiencing the city. Learning a new city has been scary to me sometimes, especially since I’ve lived in one place my whole life. But I have no choice but to dice in. This is us living outside of our comfort zone!

Shopping was so fun and easy - and affordable - that I got a little carried away, but who doesn’t get a little carried away at Christmas? When I got home I was able to make just the right selections to create a warm and welcoming entryway with my Big Lots holiday finds! [link in bio]🎄 #BigLotsFinds
#AD The entryway to your house can set the tone fo #AD The entryway to your house can set the tone for your entire home, and this Christmas season, I wanted to make my entryway feel like a warm Christmas hug for all who enter. So you know, I had to stop at @biglots to see what treasures I could find, without breaking the bank. I found everything I was looking for, and a little extra too - the hardest part was not getting carried away. Now, I'm loving my space, and I can’t wait to welcome all of my friends and family over for the holidays. 🎄 [Link in bio] #BigLotsFinds
♥️“These are God’s problems” ♥️ The ♥️“These are God’s problems” ♥️ The hardest part of our transition from Virginia to Michigan was the last six weeks. Paul traveled for two weeks on his own, and then when school started our two middle boys traveled with him to attend school. Our oldest and youngest were in Virginia with me. Every weekend for one month Paul drove 10 hours both ways so that we could be together again and to help with the preparations for moving. I told him to stay but he insisted on traveling back because we needed each other. He was right. It was a lonely and uncertain time. We felt like nowhere was truly home, expect for when we were together. As I look back, I didn’t think that a transition like this should be easy, but honestly, I hoped that it would be. Things went wrong. Plans got delayed. Sometimes we were exhausted, frustrated, and weary. But through it all, God was our provider, our defender, and our grace. He was the one who turned every NO into YES and all of our delays into nows. I had to fully lean on Him as my Father, because for the first time in my adulthood I truly felt like a helpless child. This is what we had to live by. When you are obedient to God and you face obstacles, every single problem belongs to Him. Our problems were God’s problems, not our own. We would say “These are God’s problems” We kept praying, and He kept answering. Our daily bread was His love and faithfulness. When the journey is hard, depend on the One who sent you. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 ♥️
Hey Mama! We moved to Detroit 🛞♥️🎵 I al Hey Mama! We moved to Detroit 🛞♥️🎵 I always wondered what it would be like to take an adventure in life, to start over or to answer a call in a different place. I’d daydream about the what-ifs only to snap out of it, and to be content with my reality. We spent our entire lives in Virginia and now more than ever, our entire lives are in the hands of God. Paul was asked to come to Detroit to help lead a public charter school. We knew this was part of our assignment, and after a series of events we packed the boxes and made our home in the Motor City. Sometimes when I tell the locals our story, they ask, “Why would you come here?” My answer can go no further than “Because God told us to” I don’t know the fullness of His plan. But that’s the best part. We gave God our “Yes” and the rest belongs to Him! Now, where are my Midwest mamas? Help a Southern sista out, it’s snowed already and they don’t have sweet tea! ♥️Trust Him #heybelovedmama #whatupdoe #detroitmoms
#AD I’m the type of girl who loves fancy and aff #AD I’m the type of girl who loves fancy and affordable all at the same time. When I was a little girl my grandma raised me to appreciate nice things, but to be responsible. That’s why we would frequent our neighborhood @BigLots to see what we could find. Now that I’m grown, I still have the same values; fancy, responsible, and fun. So of course Big Lots was a no-brainer for my patio refresh. With the summer gearing up, I won’t be caught hot and exhausted I’ll be relaxing around one of my many cool #BigLotsFinds Click the link in my bio to see what you may find too!
