I’ve felt like there’s been so much to read, l

I’ve felt like there’s been so much to read, learn, and absorb over the past couple of weeks, and to be honest I’m still not really sure what I can contribute or say about the recent tragic events that have taken place in our country and the impact they’ve had on Black families, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and children.⁣
⁣⁣
Though our little family may never experience the horrors of racism, there are small and simple things that I can do to be a better sister, advocate, and true friend to my Black brothers and sisters.⁣ I can pray constantly for those who are suffering. I can pray for healing and help as I do the work to refine my own heart and judgmental thinking patterns.⁣
⁣
Jesus Christ has set the perfect example for us as to how we are to treat each other. “Love one another as I have loved you,” he taught in John 13:34.⁣ Though we may not be, His love is perfect and can shine through our imperfect efforts to be better as we seek Him.💛⁣
⁣⁣
I’d love to hear what you’ve been learning⁣⁣
through this historic time of empowerment of our beautiful Black community. How can we each celebrate diversity and be more inclusive in our small little corners of the world? I’ve shared a few things that I’ve found helpful and inspiring in my stories and hope that you’ll share with me too!⁣

Carrying our baby boy feels like having a little bright light glowing within me all the time. I can’t even describe how much happiness he brings to my heart already!☀️⁣
⁣
I shared a new Friday favorites post (including some pregnancy favorites) on my blog this week! Y’all have been loving these monthly recaps of my new favorite recipes, things that are making me laugh, and music I’ve been listening to, and I love reading your emails and responses! Keep them coming!💛

This Mother’s Day is especially sweet for us...⁣
⁣
We are so happy to be celebrating our baby BOY who will be joining our family!💙 ⁣
⁣
God led us lovingly through miscarriages and loss last year, and is now granting us so many happy and joyful moments. His plan is perfect and we are overjoyed and so grateful to be blessed with this little miracle growing inside me!

Who says that date night has to be boring just because we're all sticking a little closer to home?!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I look forward to and LOVE our weekly date nights, so here are 10 quarantine-friendly date ideas that we’ve come up with during this period of social distancing!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. Have a spelling bee.🐝 So. Freaking. FUNNY! (Swipe to see my failure of a first round)⁣⁣
2. Get takeout to support a favorite or new local restaurant.⁣⁣
3. Make s’mores in your backyard, on the grill, or in the oven in a cast iron skillet!⁣🍫⁣
4. Have your spouse teach you a new skill! 🎸I’ve been giving Cayden ukulele lessons and he is the cutest student I have ever had!⁣⁣
5. Movie night.🎥🍿Pick up popcorn from your local movie theatre. You could even make tickets and sell snacks like you did as a kid!⁣⁣
6. Build something together out of legos!⁣ (This one is still on our list).⁣
7. Harry Potter Origami.✨Yes, this exists, and YES. For less than $8, you can enjoy hours of contention and fun. That’s what I call A BARGAIN!⁣⁣
8. Go for a walk or a hike.⁣🌿⁣
9. Do an art project together.🎨⁣
10. Have a dance party!💃🏻 Make up stupid dance moves together in the car, the kitchen, or on the back porch. ⁣⁣

What are some things you’re grateful for right now?! I have so many little things to be thankful for and so many reasons to smile every day! Number one being this sweet husband of mine who brightens my WHOLE WORLD!✨⁣
⁣
I’m also thankful for thin mints. Toilet paper. The little buds that are starting to show up on the trees in our neighborhood. STRETCHY PANTS (said in the NACHO voice). Peanut M&M’s. Uplifting books, scriptures and talks. The list goes on!⁣
⁣
Isn’t this an amazing time to invite a spirit of gratitude into our lives?⁣
⁣
I know many of you joined my #30DaysOfGratitude challenge back in November! Have you kept up with your gratitude practice and journal? 📖 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
I’d encourage you to write down a few things you’re thankful for before you go to sleep tonight and see how it makes you feel!💛
