He wanted low key and we delivered. 😂 Acts of kindness all day…car cleaned, yard handled, zero interruptions. Ended the night with reverse seared steak, roasted broccoli, seasoned rice, baked sweet potato, and jerk chicken pasta for the kids. Happy birthday to my person. You deserved all of it. 🥰🌿

My husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage a couple days ago. We took the time to get away…no work, no church business, no kids, just us! Thank you, my love for being a wonderful husband. I thank God for you 🥰. #marriagegoals #getaway #anniversary

Today started early and didn’t slow down. 😩 Wilmington for hockey, then straight to Raleigh for volleyball. Rich drove….and I survived on an Alani Energy by 1 PM. No shame. 😂 Just grateful I’m able to show up for my kids.
Now switching gears and prepping for church tomorrow. No days off but I wouldn’t trade it. 🙏🏽

Yes the storage unit is a little chaotic right now. 😂 That is what preparation looks like before the blessing gets released. We are not bothered.

If you have clothing donations you would like to contribute before the 30th please DM us. Every single item makes a difference.

Look what’s growing…Update from the bucket garden! 🫜🪴My husband and I planted corn, watermelon, and a variety of green beans! Watching something grow from a seed/seedling never gets old. I keep thinking about how God works the exact same way in our lives. He plants things in us in seasons. In variety. Some things grow fast and some things take longer than we expect. Some of what He planted in you last year is just now starting to break through the surface. Some of it will not show up until next season. Different seeds. Different timelines. Same faithful Gardener tending to all of it. 🙌🏽🙏🏾💚

God is in the details and He is in all these little buckets on our back porch 🙌🏽🥰 #gardeninglife #christiancouple #bucketgarden

I missed posting this on Mother’s Day and honestly I am not sorry about it because I was too busy living it.😁
This year Mother’s Day weekend looked exactly like what I needed it to look like. We went to see Crowns at Cape Fear Regional Theatre and the show was great. Sitting in that room with my family watching a story about faith, identity, and the women who carry both…this memory will be etched into my brain forever.🥰
Then we ate. Then my kids told me they were taking me to the movies. With their own money. Can I just sit with that for a second? They planned it. They paid for it. They chose to spend their money on their mom and I was not ready for how much that was going to hit me.🥹
And then Tyler drove us there.
Rich stayed home and got some much deserved rest and it was just me and my babies in that car with Tyler behind the wheel trying to act like his mom was not low key nervous and high key proud at the same exact time. 😂
I sat in that theater in the dark next to my kids thinking about how fast time moves and how grateful I am that God gave me front row seats to their lives. They are growing into people who show up for others. People who use their own money to make their mom feel special. People who drive their mom to the movies even if she white knuckles the door handle the whole way there (Nah he did amazing, definitely getting the hang of it). 😂💗
That is the gift. I don’t need a perfect Mother’s Day. I just need moments like these…loud, imperfect, full of laughter, and completely mine.
To every mom who also spent her weekend living instead of posting…I see you. Late post. Zero regrets. 😂💛

Prom season kinda snuck up on me 🤦🏾‍♀️ Tyler’s locs were in serious need of a retwist for a while. Like a good while, but I kept putting it off because retwisting locs is no joke on my fingers and I was holding off to see if Rich would pay somebody else to do it 🤣🤣. But prom was coming and I needed my Boog to be absolutely fresh when he walked out that door so I finally sat down and got to work. No more procrastinating. Prom said it was time. 😂
And this time I added something new to my lineup.
@baskandlatherco edge control alongside my trusted Shine n Jam. Y’all‼️The combination of these two products had his roots defined, shiny, and smooth…just the way I like them. 🥰 What I love most about Bask and Lather is how it makes the hair actually feel. It brings out the curl pattern, keeps the locs manageable, and there was zero white residue💯 My fingers were already putting in work, and the last thing I needed was product fighting me too.
DISCLAIMER: I am not getting paid for this review. I probably should be though so feel free to blast them up in the comments and let them know. 😂
Tyler was pleased and I was very proud of my work. Bask and Lather plus Shine N Jam. That is the combo. Write it down. 🖤

I needed a corner store fix and if you grew up in Jersey you know exactly what that means. The chicken and rice. The steam trays. The energy of a real corner store that just feels like home.
We pulled up to Fresh Deli here in Fayetteville and I was not expecting much because nothing is ever exactly like Jersey. But that chicken and rice? On point. And they had turkey ham available, and chopped cheese sandwiches which is not something you find everywhere and if you grew up eating it you understand why that detail matters. 😂
Is it exactly like home? No. Is it close enough to scratch the itch and make me a regular? Absolutely. Fresh Deli has officially made our rotation and if you are in Fayetteville and you have not been…go. They are open 24 hrs. You can thank me later.
Jersey girl mostly approved. That is about as good as it gets. 😂🖤 #FayettevilleNC #FayettevilleEats #CornerStore #JerseyGirl #dayinmylife

Not perfect. Just chosen. 🙌🏽🙏🏾That is the only qualification that ever mattered for this job. If you showed up for your kids today even imperfectly, you did exactly what God designed you to do. Happy Mother's Day to every mom who is still showing up.💓 #MothersDay #MomLife #ChristianMom #chosen

Summer Glow Guide, The Amazon Skin Care Finds You Need Right Now. 💯
Your summer skin care routine just got a serious upgrade and your wallet is going to thank you. I curated my favorite Amazon beauty finds that are hot right now and every single one of them is under thirty dollars. These are not random picks, these are the products that are showing up everywhere for good reason and I have either used them personally or researched them thoroughly so you do not have to do the scrolling.
Starting at the top with Black Girl Sunscreen because SPF is non negotiable this summer especially for melanated skin‼️This formula goes on smooth with no white cast and no greasy finish which is everything we have been asking for.
The Biodance Bio Collagen Mask is the overnight hydration treatment that has gone completely viral and for good reason. You wake up with skin that looks and feels completely different. The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid pairs perfectly with it for an extra layer of deep hydration that keeps your skin plump and dewy all day.🥰
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a staple for a reason. Dermatologist recommended, fragrance free, and works on every skin type. If you do not have this in your routine already this is your sign.
EOS Shea Better Body Lotion and Body Wash in Vanilla Cashmere is the summer scent combination that has people stopping you to ask what you are wearing. Lightweight, non greasy, and the smell lasts all day.✔️
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels are the upgrade your face washing routine needs. Single use disposable towels that eliminate the bacteria buildup on traditional face cloths. A small change that makes a big difference especially for acne prone and sensitive skin.

Nobody told Tyler that booking a family photographer meant booking the whole family experience. 🤣 Uncle behind the lens. Mom and dad bringing the chaos. This boy was just trying to look good for his shoot and we made it a whole production‼️ We would not have it any other way though. This is what family looks like for us…loud, loving, and showing up for every single moment. 😁 So proud of my baby boy. Prom 2026. 🖤 #ProudMom #PromSeason #FamilyFirst #Boymom

Can we normalize Monday morning errand runs when you work from home? 🥰
Rich and I both work from home and one of the things nobody tells you about that life is that you get to decide what your morning looks like. No commute. No rushing out the door with a granola bar and a prayer. 💯 Just you and your person and the whole morning ahead of you before the day begins.
So today we made our rounds. @wawa first because most mornings I am home making my own coffee like the responsible adult I am, but today felt like a treat kind of morning and the dragonfruit lemonade and cold brew were calling our names. No regrets‼️ Then we pulled up to @patesfarmmarket because they always have something good going on. Stocked up on the chicken special and then Rich spotted some purple potatoes and I watched his whole face light up. Those are going straight into a bucket in the garden. 😂
And me? I was not leaving without a slice of pound cake. That was never up for debate.
Here is what I really want you to take from this. We have full busy lives…Ministry. Business. Kids. Content. All of it running at the same time. But Rich and I have been intentional about not letting the busyness swallow the moments in between. A Monday morning errand run is not a big deal on paper. But doing it with your best friend and just being present before the day kicks in…that is everything‼️
Protect your ordinary moments y’all. Even the Monday ones. Especially the Monday ones. 🖤🌿

This month taught me that growth is not always loud. Sometimes it is quiet. Sometimes it is in the bucket garden, in the car with your teenager, in the stands cheering your daughter on. God is in all of it.🙌🏽 #reflection #april #faith

Every Sunday I stand beside my husband as he leads Echo Church and I love every single second of it. But I want to let you in on something that does not always make it to the highlight reel.
This right here… breakfast, notes on the table, talking through vision, calendars, ministry strategy, and everything in between, this is just as much a part of what we do as Sunday morning is. Maybe more. 💯
When God called Rich to plant Echo Church He did not just call him. He called us. And I made a decision early on that I was not going to be a spectator in my own assignment. I am not here to look cute in the front row and smile on cue. I am here to build. To pray. To plan. To push. To show up in every room where decisions are being made about what God is doing through this church‼️

Being a pastor’s wife is one of the greatest honors of my life. But it is also one of the most misunderstood roles in ministry. People see the Sunday. They do not always see the Saturday night conversations, the early morning strategy sessions over eggs and coffee, the moments where we are just two people trying to make sure we are being faithful to what God told us to do.🙏🏾
I share this because I know somebody reading this is sitting in a role where you feel more like a decoration than a decision maker. In your marriage. In your ministry. In your workplace. And I want you to know, you do not have to shrink to fit someone else’s idea of what your role should look like.
God did not call you to the background of someone else’s story. He called you to show up fully in your own.🙌🏽
So yes this is a breakfast date. It is also a staff meeting. And I would not have it any other way.
Echo Church…building something real. One breakfast at a time. 🌿
If you are in the Fayetteville area and looking for a church home we would love to have you. 🥰 Ministry life christiancouple

The other night reminded me why I love what God is building at Echo Church. 🙌🏽 Our Bloom ladies came together for our very first game night and the energy in that room was something special. 🥰 Real women. Real laughter. Real connection. No performance. No pressure. Just us being us together. If you have been looking for a women's community where you can just show up and belong…Bloom has a seat for you. First of many nights like this one. 🌸 #bloomwhereyouareplanted #sisterhood #womensministry
