Christmas 2017

-
Christmas has come and gone that quick! But it was a great holiday. For those who know me, know that I go to Virginia every year for Christmas. But this year, it was our turn to spend Christmas in Baltimore with Kendall’s side of the family. I was a little nervous since I never had a Christmas without my side of the family and it was going to be something new. But it was great. We played games, talked, open gifts and just enjoyed everyone’s company. On Christmas Eve, we went to a friend of ours house for brunch which was absolutely wonderful. The food was so good. Last year, Mason was only 3 months when Christmas came around, but this year, he was 15 months. Things were so much more exciting. Kendall and I got him a paw patrol four wheeler and a paw patrol microphone. He loved them! He rides around on that four wheeler like he is grown. Lol He amazes me so much when he picks up on things so fast. When we first took him on a ride, we was holding the button down for him, but the next day, he had it! Standing up while riding, one leg up while the other leg down, and waving goodbye! Lol He really liked his gifts which bought joy to our hearts. Not only did Mason, like his gifts, but so did I. I got a kureig, cook book, Under Armour shoes/clothes and so much more. I loved every single gift. But my husband always aims to put a smile on my face. 😁 It was nice to wake up together and watch each other open gifts and get excited while doing so. Especially those gifts you give that you thiiiink is going to be a good gift but noooot quite sure! Lol So I got Kendall a fit bit blaze this year. He didn’t ask for it, but it was something I thought of. He talked about working out more and asked for workout clothes so I thought, maybe the watch would be a good thing to add. He said that was his favorite gift. I was so glad it worked out the way I hoped for. This year my Christmas was at a different pace than what I’m use to. But it was a good one. Change is good people. We always worry about the unknown, but as you get older, as you get married, as you become a mother, things will OFTEN CHANGE. It will change in a blink of an eye too. But let go, and let God. He will lead you and never stir you wrong. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday and have a great new year! I’m ready to see what 2018 has in store for me.

Live Your Dream...Do What You Love

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" has always been my favorite scripture. My mother always taught me that the sky is the limit, but with Him is how we can achieve our potential. It wasn't until my junior year of college that I realized how truly fearless I can be. God spoke to me to instill a clear vision for my life...a life of FEARLESSNESS in Him that I could have never imagined.  2befearless is a lifestyle brand - a brand that serves a community of confident and courageous believers who inspire others to embrace and overcome fear. For those who don't know, I served as a class queen at Morgan State University and ran for Miss Morgan on the platform...FEARLESS. Since then, that word has stuck to me. The dream to continue to mold Fearless into something bigger than myself never died. Hint. This blog! :) This blog was just a start after graduating college in 2015. God kept revealing all these great ideas to me and at first I felt l

Boy Mom

Who would have known that your 3yr old son could be your best friend?! Being a mother truly brings so much joy to my heart. Each and every day, I am reminded of the great reward of being someone's mother. Sure, it causes you to be tired, it brings you stress at times and worry, but I would not trade it for anything else! My son has taught me to be patient, he has challenged me to become a better person and work even harder. I am the first example of a woman he sees and I want him to know that we are strong, caring, nurturing and hard working. Being a "boy mom" is so much fun! The energy that Mason brings everyday is so amazing. He definitely keeps me on my toes and keeps me moving even when I don't feel like getting out of bed. Especially since he loves to wake up between 6:30-7am on the weekends. lol It is something about that mother/son bond that is so untouchable. You better not cross me because my son will come for you! lol He always knows when I am in need for

Stages Of Life

As much as we wish it did, parenthood does not come with a rule book! If you are a parent, God made you equipped for it, so trust that you are doing right by your children. After listening to a sermon from my pastor, I decided to share what I learned. I realized that our parenthood is based on the stage that our children is in. Of course they change as they continue to grow and learn new things. As they change, we need to change! What worked when they were little, will not fly as they get older.                                                          Ages 0-5 - (The Discipline Years.) During this age, we should be teaching our children obedience. All direction should be straight forward and to the point. I’m not going to lie, this is something I struggled with and still do at times. Being the nice guy all the time, going back on my word or trying to explain why the answer is no. We need to be straightforward because this is the beginning of their lives. They are beginning to understan
