Today I want you to think about all you are instead of all you are not💖 Happy Monday friends! You’ve got this! No matter what obstacle comes your way, you are capable of overcoming it💖⁠

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. Being a working mom of 2, my day usually starts at 4:30am. I know, I know, that’s super early😩🤣 but it’s so worth it when not having to rush out of the house by 6am for work and to drop the kids off. Before I let my feet touch the floor or allow my brain to remind me of the million things I need to accomplish, I say my morning prayer and thank God for another day, I pray for those who weren’t able to see this day, I pray that I don’t allow any negativity to throw off my focus, and I pray for protection for my family. Getting my mind right at the top of the morning really makes a difference in how I handle everything that’s to follow. What is your morning routine? What helps you shape your mindset for the day? Share below!

Train your mind to see the good in every situation 💫 2020 has given us surprise after surprise on a daily basis. For many people, they would say this year is the worst and straight trash. For me, it’s the opposite. Yes the pandemic has required us to live differently, however, it has also made us more aware of certain things: some people don’t want to accept that certain races are treated poorly no matter what, America thrives off of having people work tirelessly without balance to make a dollar, the safety of our children is a joke and unimportant to many, and so much more. ⁠
🤎 ⁠
2019 was the pits for me. I experienced grief from multiple loses and had to cut people out of our lives, I suffered from depression, I was overly stressed with work, overwhelmed with issues my kids experienced in private school, and overall changes in my marriage. 2019 really could’ve been the end for me (I’ll speak more on that at a later time). However, in 2020, God has showed up and showed out every 👏🏾 single 👏🏾 day👏🏾 Even when I didn’t feel worthy enough to receive anything, God blessed me. I was able to gain an opportunity in my full-time employment that is putting us closer to our financial goals, work/life balance goals, and be healthier all around physically, mentally, and spiritually. ⁠
🤎 ⁠
One thing I made sure to do differently this year was to trust whatever process God puts in front of me. In the past, I would try to “control” every change, every decision that I didn’t have a say in, any challenge/obstacle that came my way. I had to learn that instead of spending energy of trying to change the things I can’t, I could use that energy to roll with the punches, find a better way to embrace the change, and see the silver lining in everything (even when it stings a little). ⁠
🤎 ⁠
Instead of complaining and wishing the days of 2020 away, try to look at the positive: you’re alive, you have breath, and you get another chance to start over again. I pray that each one of you are able to “see” the good that this year can still show in our personal lives🤎 Tell me, what are you grateful for today? I’ll start: I’m grateful for our happy and healthy kids.

The girls have their smize down😍 It’s so interesting taking their pictures. You get to see their personalities more “clearly” and get to witness first hand the poses they’ve been creating in their playroom😂 Fun fact: Addi wasn’t always a fan of taking pics. I love taking them so that we have memories to look back on and reminisce about what was occurring that day and any happy feelings that arise. Does your kid(s) like to take pictures?

💛First day of school pics💛 ⁠
We’re a little over a month in and finally have a routine down. The girls are doing virtual learning this school year. Fortunately for us, our school system offers online learning with their actual classroom teachers and we get to work at our own pace (ie finish the week earlier if needed). ⁠
💛 ⁠
The girls were disappointed that they wouldn’t be in the classroom but happy they get more time at home with us and the grandparents. We decided to do virtual because it was best for us and our family. I’m working full-time so the grandparents have been a huge help with helping the girls with their lessons during the day. In the evenings and weekend, I cover anything that was missed and submit all of the assignments. Hubby also helps with going over any areas they need more focus on and reading. It’s really all hands on deck😂 ⁠
💛 ⁠
We hope everyone has a great school year whether you’re virtual, remote, or in-person💛
