Moving an 18-foot Christmas tree across the house with my girls… no husband, no hesitation, just pure determination. Because after 11 years, we are FINALLY getting a new sofa and nothing was standing in our way. We may be a little extra. We may be a lot ambitious. And yes… I might be slightly in over my head. I ordered the Aiden & Ivy Page 6-piece modular sectional. Actually… I ordered TWO so it fills the entire living room the way I’ve been envisioning. Pray for us. Cheer us on. And if you want the exact sectional, comment SECTIONAL and I’ll send you the link. Women get it done. Period. LTKmomlife LTKdayinmylife LTKHome

16 years ago, I prayed and asked God that the next man I fell in love with would be sent by Him… and that he wouldn’t just love me, but that he would also love my 2 year old daughter too.🥺

As I watched him preparing to celebrate her 18th birthday… shopping for her, thinking of her, loving her in the smallest and biggest ways… it hit me deeply that a father is not defined by DNA.

A father is the man who shows up.
The man who stays.
The man who chooses you… every single day.

Before she could even understand what that meant, he told me,
“That’s my daughter.”

And he has lived that truth ever since.

No hesitation.
No conditions.
Just unwavering, unconditional love.

You see… biology may create life,
but love, sacrifice, and presence create a father.

And my husband has been that from the very beginning.

Lisa is blessed.
And I am beyond grateful that God answered that prayer… not just for me, but for her.

Because fatherhood isn’t just a title…
it’s a commitment.

And he has honored that commitment for 16 years.🙌🏾

Antwan baby, thank you for being an incredible man… the kind of man who didn’t just love me, but stepped in and became everything my daughter needed. I honor you for that, always. 🤍

“The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7

Hard truth… motherhood will have you feeling like you lost yourself.

Being a mom of 9, there were real moments I thought I’d never get my “pink” back.

And it’s not about looks.
Your “pink” is your joy, your softness, your confidence… you.
The version of you that isn’t just surviving everyone else’s needs.

Postpartum, I was tired, touched out, stretched in every way… and somewhere in all of that, I felt like I disappeared.

But this is what I’ve learned…

You don’t lose your pink.
You just pour so much of it into everyone else that you forget you still have some left.

And when you finally take time for yourself…
when you breathe, laugh, step away for a moment…

it starts to come back.

Not the old you…
but a stronger, fuller version of her.

And if you’re in that place right now…
tired, overwhelmed, feeling like you don’t recognize yourself…

you are not alone, and you are not lost.

Give yourself grace in this season.
Take moments where you can.
Pour back into you, even if it’s little by little.

You’re still in there… and she’s coming back. #momlife #postpartum #postpartumjourney #motherhood #pinkback

There really is a season for everything…

And this season right here? I’m embracing it.

Because I remember seasons where I was barely holding it together.
Seasons where surviving was the goal.
Seasons where I didn’t have the capacity to do anything more than make it through the day.

But this… this feels different.

I’m not just surviving anymore… I’m thriving.
I’m becoming.
I’m stepping into a version of myself I once prayed for but couldn’t even fully see.

And if you’re in a hard season right now… please hear me when I say this:

It won’t always feel like this.

There is another side. There is growth in you. There is more in you.

Just keep going.

Because one day you’ll look up and realize…
you didn’t just make it through—you became someone stronger, wiser, and more whole than you ever imagined.

And that version of you? She’s worth the wait.

This… right here… is what I mean when I say it’s the little things 🥺

I mentioned ONE time, just in passing… that I wanted to start a perfume collection. Not because I needed it. Not because it was a priority. But because I’m learning to step into a softer version of myself… a version that allows beauty, intention, and joy to exist without guilt.

And my husband?
He was listening, even when I didn’t think he was.🥺

No questions. No planning with me. No “send me a list.”
He went out… picked out 16 fragrances… some popular, some personal, and then took it a step further and created a whole space for them.

That’s what being seen feels like.
That’s what being known feels like.
That’s what being loved with intention feels like. 🫶🏾

Because a man that truly loves you doesn’t just hear you…
he studies you.
He pays attention to the things you say casually.
He moves on the things you didn’t even think were important enough to repeat.

And I’m just sitting here like… wow God, THIS is what You had for me all along 🙌🏾

I used to be the girl who couldn’t justify things like this.
Always budgeting. Always prioritizing everyone else.
Never really allowing myself to indulge in the “soft” parts of life.

But in this season,
I’m choosing softness.
I’m choosing to feel beautiful.
I’m choosing to receive love in the ways God sends it, even when it looks like perfume bottles lined up on a counter. 🥺

If you’re still waiting, still praying, and still wondering if a love like this exists…
let this be your reminder that it does. 🙏🏾

God sees you.
And He knows exactly the kind of love your heart needs.

Cat believe baby Ashton is already 9 months old💙

This morning felt like a blur… but the kind of blur I once prayed for.

It’s full, it’s busy, and it requires everything from both of us, but this is the life we asked God for.

Not just the house, not just the children… but this.
Doing life together.
Side by side.
Not one carrying it all, but both of us showing up fully.

There were seasons where I begged God to fix things, to change things, to make it easier… and now I see—He was building us into the kind of couple who could handle this kind of life together.

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12

We are not perfect.
We are not always rested.
But we are aligned. And that has changed everything.

If you’re in a season where it feels heavy, where you’re praying for partnership, for unity, for help… don’t stop praying. Don’t stop doing the work. God can shift a marriage in ways you never imagined.

Because one day you’ll look up in the middle of the chaos and realize…
this is the very life you once cried out for.

Grateful. Every single day.

My skin has been through nine pregnancies and years of postpartum seasons where sleep was a luxury.

So when people ask me about my skincare routine, I take it seriously.

This week Tatcha invited me onto their PR list, and I was honestly excited because these are products I’ve already loved.

I started with the Matcha Cleanse, followed with the Dewy Milk Moisturizer (which smells incredible), protected my skin with the Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 that leaves absolutely no white cast, added the Kissu Lip Mask, and finished with the Luminous Dewy Skin Mist.

And I’m not going to lie… my skin felt refreshed, hydrated, and glowing.

For a mom of nine who has lived through years of pregnancy hormones, postpartum skin changes, and little sleep… that says a lot.

Thank you @tatcha for the beautiful gift.

#gifted

This is what our nights look like when the house finally gets quiet. It's playful, spicy, fun, and it is ours.

I am sharing this because I know there are marriages out there that are still standing, but slowly drifting into routine. You are still committed, still showing up, but something feels missing. The softness is gone. The fun is gone. The flirting has faded. I know because we were almost there in year 1.

But we realized there's s a difference between loving your spouse and staying in love with your spouse. Loving is the feeling, but staying in love is the commitment. It is the commitment to show up, to nurture the relationship, to create closeness, and to choose each other in the middle of ordinary moments.

For us, it looks like this. It looks like doing skincare together before bed, laughing, touching, and simply being close. After 16 years of together and 9 children, we have learned that connection does not just happen. You have to be intentional about it.

Marriage is ministry, and it requires tending to. We choose each other daily. We make time for each other. We laugh together, we hold space for each other, and we stay close even in the smallest moments.

Staying in love takes effort, but it is the sweetest work we will ever do.

If you are reading this and your marriage feels distant, I pray you remember that intimacy does not start with something big. It starts with one small moment of choosing each other again. One moment can shift everything.

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church…” Ephesians 5:25
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8

In Jesus’ name, amen.
#marriedlife #marriedcouple #marriagegoals #couples #marriage

Our first year of marriage was honestly our biggest test.

By that time we had already been together almost 7 years and had four children. From the outside it probably looked like we had it all figured out… but behind the scenes we were carrying a lot of brokenness.

We both came into marriage with baggage, past hurts, and things we didn’t yet know how to communicate through.

There were moments when it would have been easier to walk away than to keep doing the work.

But God.

Somewhere along the way we realized something that shifted everything for us.

Our marriage had to become bigger than our pride, our past, and our pain.

So we started leaning on God.
On His Word.
On prayer.

And even now, 16 years later and 9 children in, we still make time to grow together.

Lately before bed we’ve been reading The Bait of Satan together, and it has sparked some really honest conversations between us about offense, forgiveness, and protecting the unity of our marriage.

Because the truth is… offense is one of the quickest ways the enemy can create distance between two people who love each other.

Marriage doesn’t stay healthy by accident.

It requires intention.
Grace.
Patience.
And a willingness to keep choosing each other.

Still growing.
Still learning.
Still choosing each other.

Anything worth having is worth fighting for.

Comment “HERHOOD” and I’ll send you the link, sis, so you can join us tonight for our first live session.🙌🏾

HerHood begins tonight.🎉

For the past couple of years, I’ve felt God leading me to create this mentorship space for women. And honestly… I made every excuse in the book. I told myself I was too busy. I told myself the timing wasn’t right.

But eventually I had to face the truth, I was being disobedient to what God placed on my heart.

So here I am… stepping out on faith and trusting Him.

This isn’t about having thousands of members.

It’s about creating a room where women can grow together. A space for real conversations, real wisdom, and real sisterhood.

If you’ve been watching my content and thinking, “I wish I had a space like this…”

I created it.

Our first live session is tonight.

Join us.

Link in bio.💕

The real test of discipline isn’t how you start… it’s whether you keep going after the excitement fades.💯

We’re in the middle of March now. And this is usually the point where people start falling off. Life gets busy. The excitement wears off.

But consistency is built in the quiet moments.
The days when motivation is nowhere to be found. That’s the real work.

So this is my reminder to you… to start again today.🫶🏾

This is rich… because as a mom of 9, I don’t have to beg my husband to help with our kids. I don’t have to beg for a day off. I don’t have to beg for a nanny.

Why? Because we’re partners in raising our family.

Today he told me, “Stay home and relax.”
He let me sleep in, made me lunch, and then loaded up all nine of our children and left the house so I could enjoy some quiet time. Meanwhile I’m sitting here in my plush robe on this oversized sectional like I own a luxury spa… except the spa is my living room.

People assume when you have a lot of kids you must be exhausted, miserable, and never have time for yourself. And listen… sometimes motherhood absolutely does feel overwhelming. Some days I am burnt out. The assignments of being a wife, mother, and business owner can be heavy.

But here’s the difference: my husband values a rested wife.

He understands that when I’m balanced, when I have peace, when I’m not running on fumes… our entire home benefits. My joy benefits him. My peace benefits our children. My health benefits our marriage.

So he encourages me to step away. And when I refuse to leave my sanctuary (because let’s be honest, my house is my favorite place), he takes the kids and gives me the space anyway.

He’s my village.

We don’t have family in this state helping us raise our children. But we have each other. And that partnership changes everything.

To the women reading this: you deserve rest too.
And to the husbands watching this: supporting your wife isn’t “helping her”… it’s leading your family well. #momlife #motherhood #marriage #marriagelife #couples

I stopped begging God to fix my husband… and instead started asking Him to fix me.

Not because my husband is perfect.
Not because marriage is always easy.
But because one day I realized something that changed everything.

It’s easy to pray, “God change him.”
It’s harder to pray, “God change my heart.”

Teach me patience.
Teach me gentleness.
Teach me how to respond with wisdom instead of frustration.
Teach me how to love the way You love me.

And when I started praying that prayer, something beautiful happened.

God didn’t just work on me… He started transforming our marriage too.

Because when a woman allows God to refine her heart, soften her words, and strengthen her spirit, the atmosphere of her home begins to shift.

Sis, you don’t have to carry the weight of your marriage alone.
You don’t have to figure out womanhood, marriage, and motherhood by yourself.

That’s exactly why I created HerHood — a space where women grow spiritually, emotionally, and intentionally together.

If you’re ready to become the woman God is calling you to be, I’d love for you to join us.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to finally finish this room… but better late than never.

Between motherhood, work, babies, and life constantly moving, this project kept getting pushed to the back burner. But today I finally finished designing Lea and Livie’s room and I’m honestly so proud of how it turned out.

Creating spaces for my children that feel peaceful, beautiful, and truly theirs means a lot to me. I wanted their room to feel cozy, functional, and a place where they can rest, laugh, talk, and just be girls together.

Now that everything is finally coming together, I’m curious…

What do you think of the room?
Is there anything you think I’m missing or should add to make it even better?

I love hearing your ideas because some of my best home upgrades have come from you all.

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

I live in these because they stretch where they should, are comfortable enough to work out at home, and cozy enough to lounge in. Since y’all always ask… here they are.

#LTKActive #LTKdayinmylife #LTKfitnessgoals

I woke up early and chose to show up for myself today. Not because it was easy, but because it was necessary. I ran three miles on the treadmill, picked up the weights, and challenged myself past what felt comfortable. And in that moment, I was reminded that discipline builds confidence, and consistency builds strength far beyond the physical.

This is your reminder that taking care of yourself is not selfish. You don’t have to wait until life slows down or until everyone else is taken care of first. Showing up for yourself, even in small ways, changes how you move through the rest of your day, your home, and your life.

To the woman who feels tired, overwhelmed, or stuck, this is your sign. Start where you are. Do what you can. Keep showing up. You are worth the effort, every single time. #momlife #motherhood #Fitness

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKfitness #LTKActive

Last night I shared a video about surprising my husband with his dream truck, and I said something that stood out to many of you. I said that I am a steward over my husband. Some of you loved that mindset, and others asked what I meant by it, so I want to clarify my heart.

When I say I am a steward over my husband, I am not speaking about ownership, control, or domination. I’m speaking about responsibility, care, prayer, and faithfulness before God. I believe God entrusted me with his life, to nurture him, love him, encourage him, pray for him, and support the man God is shaping him to be according to His purpose.

I see my husband as my assignment, not in a burden sense, but in a sacred sense. He has been entrusted into my care. My role as his wife is to pour into him as he becomes the man, the father, and the man of God God created him to be. That does not mean I lead him as a shepherd, God alone does that. But I am called to support, cover, cultivate, and pray over what God is already doing in his life. Stewardship is not dominance. Stewardship is faithfulness.

And I believe this works both ways. I believe my husband is also a steward over my life. He has been entrusted with nurturing me, encouraging me, praying for me, loving me, and helping guide me into the woman God has ordained me to be. We are each other’s assignment.

There have been moments where I was tired. Moments where my flesh wanted to give up. But I don’t view marriage as something sustained by feelings alone. I view it as an assignment from God.

Marriage, to me, is like building a house. The foundation gets laid, the framing goes up, and then the hard parts come. Delays. Roadblocks. Frustration. But frustration doesn’t mean you abandon the build. You keep going. You finish the work. You protect what you’ve already invested in.

I’m building something here. I am fully invested. I have equity in this marriage. Stewardship means staying the course. Stewardship means protecting what God entrusted to you. Stewardship means finishing the work, not perfectly, but faithfully.
#marriage #marriedlife #couplegoals #couplestiktok

Outfit check before we head out because my husband has no idea what’s coming… and let’s just say this day ends with a DREAM being unlocked.

Be honest—are we loving this fit for the occasion or should I have gone a different route?
Drop your thoughts below 👀⬇️ and stay tuned… the reveal is SO worth it.

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKgrwm

I’m about to do something I’ve never done before.
I’m honestly nervous, but I feel led.

My husband is the kind of man who never asks for much. He carries our family, puts everyone else first, and rarely does anything just for himself. And lately, I’ve felt a quiet nudge to step out and do something that honors that.

I don’t have every detail figured out. I don’t even know how this is going to turn out. But I do know that sometimes obedience requires movement before clarity.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKootd

Marriage can feel exhausting, especially when you’re raising a big family, or honestly, even a small one. It’s easy to grow tired. It’s easy to grow complacent. And if we’re not careful, that’s where resentment quietly starts to grow.

What I’ve learned is this: love can’t just live in words. It has to be followed by action.

Even on the hardest days. Even when we’re both not feeling our best.

This was me running a bath for my husband while he was sick with a stomach bug. Nothing grand. Nothing performative. Just choosing to see him, care for him, and remind him that he is deeply loved in every capacity.

My husband and I are committed to showing up for each other, not just when it’s easy, but when it matters most. This is me choosing him. And I hope it encourages other couples to do the same, love each other loudly, quietly, and consistently.

Valentine’s Day wasn’t about gifts.
It was about intention.

My husband left early that morning with AJ and Austin and spent hours making sure his wife and his six daughters felt seen, loved, and valued. We didn’t expect it. We weren’t waiting for it. And that made it even more meaningful.

Watching him show up, not just for me, but for our girls reminded me why this matters so much. Their first experience of love comes from their father. The way he speaks to them. The way he honors them. The way he shows them that love is thoughtful, consistent, and intentional.

I am grateful to God for a husband who continues to grow, who chooses presence, and who leads our home with care. A man who understands that being a husband and a father isn’t about perfection, but about showing up again and again with love.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
Proverbs 31:30

Yessss! We are wearing fajas! #shapeqear #faja

#LTKBeauty #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKdayinmylife

I walked into this and honestly had no words.🥺
There was a time I didn’t know if we’d even make it here.
But I’m standing in this moment, overwhelmed with gratitude, realizing I somehow fell even more in love with the same man I fought so hard with and for.

Marriage isn’t built in the easy seasons.
It’s built when you choose to stay, to grow, to believe again, especially when it would’ve been easier to walk away.

I’m so grateful I didn’t give up when things were heavy.
Because this love… this life… is worth every hard chapter that came before it.
