If you were following me on Instagram, you would know about our recent trip to Seattle. This trip was different - in a good way! This was our baby’s first trip. Overall, it exceeded our expectations.

Is it really the middle of November? Is there a way to slow the time? Fast-paced, November will end in a blink of an eye. Before we part ways, I am sharing the 10 wonders that make this particular month - “major.”

Happy Tuesday, loves!

Let’s talk about how we met. We either met online or in person. These days, there is no other way to meet.

It is safe to say that I am well-experienced at long distance relationships. Throughout most of my life, I’ve been meeting people from different “worlds.” Before having social media to rely on, we had to develop our creative state of mind. The snail-mail letters I wrote had to be entertaining enough to receive a reply. I would include photos of my family and I. When I didn’t have pictures to attach, I drew my own. Well, there goes a shared image without a delete button..

Well, here we go!

The birth story of Josephine Yael is in fact, sure-enough a whirlwind. I remain to be thankful for the way things went during my pregnancy and labor. Every little obstacle was a learning experience. We were faced with challenges and had to make difficult decisions in our birth plan. The tough times forced me to count on our God. He was there for us through thick and thin. All in all, pregnancy was the best thing that my body ever put me through. During the whole process, Teddy was my biggest support. Truthfully, with a team like that, I would do it again! Again and again.

‘‘Tis the season to be chilly.”

Hello ladies,

Turns out you and me both love the season of Autumn.

You know what else is lovely? Being a shining star in a crowd of greys and blacks. This Fall, we are not going for the mainstream outfits that fall under the category of “Fall”. I suggest we set a new rule. The kind of rule that won’t get you into trouble if you break it. A rule that embraces being broken when you to step out of your comfort zone and own it. Here I go again about not doing things the safe way. I believe it actually works. This will get you places, people, and opportunities. Please remember to guard your heart as you exit your bubble.

These past six weeks have been the most beautiful days of my life. I am living the dream that I wish would never end. I won’t be lying if I told you that every morning is like waking up to the day of Christmas. The greatest gifts are right beside me. My husband makes sure we are warm and cozy. I make sure we’re fed and happy. Josie’s daily task is to remind us of how special and blessed we are today. She also makes our “baby talk” seem normal since we actually have a baby now.
