SELF-DEFENSE I know I’ve blogged about this before, but it’s time again…SELF-DEFENSE! I don’t really think you can talk too much about this subject this day-and-age. Instead of being scared, be vigilant and prepared. I’ll never forget my first ever women’s self defense class. It was in June 2017, and the day I found out […]

THE BEAUTY OF MOTHETHOOD
Becoming a Mother Made Me Who I Am Today Motherhood is beautiful… Few things have shaped me in life as much as becoming a mother. It was after my first child was born that I was truly able to understand God’s love for me. (The fact that he would send His only Son to take […]
MAKE THE CAKE

Body After Baby: Dressing For The Body You Have, Not The Body You Had
Body After Baby: Your “New” Body Your body after baby is very different than your pre pregnancy body. Dressing for the body you have, not had really can be difficult after having children.
