Since we moved out to our new home we aren’t as close to a Smoothie King as I use to be, and I’ve been craving this açaí bowl all summer! Now that I know how to make it at home it’s been my favorite morning treat! It’s super simple and so good! Let me know if you make it! #acaibowl #healthyrecipes

Yesterday was our 10th anniversary, and with recent tragic events that happened in my husbands line of work it could have been our last. But God was watching over my husband, and I’m thankful he is home safe with us. I can’t imagine my life without him. He is my best friend, the best husband and father to our children. God’s greatest gift he has given me is my husband, without him I would not have the life or our beautiful children we have today. Thankful for every day I’ve had with my husband and I pray I will have a lifetime more with him by my side. 💛🙏🏽

They say the first year of a baby’s life goes by the fastest. One minute you arecradling them in your arm, and the next minute they are taking their first step. My sweet little Daisy will be one next month. To commemorate her first year, I got her a charm bracelet from @jamesavery and two little charms. Right now, with their charm event you can buy 2 charms and get an eligible charm bracelet or necklace for free. Don’t forget, buy in 4 interest free payments, with @klarna in stores and online.

When designing this nursery for my daughter I knew I wanted a smart baby camera that blended seamlessly with the decor. Not only is the CuboAi beautifully designed it has the latest technology in keeping me notified with my baby’s sleep patterns. From the temperature display, to the cough, cry and even covered face and rollover detection the CuboAi has everything to keep my mind at ease. It also has 18 hour playback and sleep analytics that gives me insight on how my baby sleeping. And if you are a mom of multiple kids like me the CuboAi allows you to pair multiple cameras for multiple room viewing. It also has several mount options to fit every room needs. CuboAi can be purchased on Amazon for their Prime Day sale! You can also get an additional $15 off with my code DAWN25 on the @cubobabymonitor website!

As a mom of three it’s been a lot of trial and error when it comes to having good eaters. My first is a picky eater, but as a first time mom I really did not know what I was doing. But I’ve learned some amazing tips that have helped me with my girls. Plus @LittleBellies Organic frozen purees makes it easier to introduce a variety of solid foods to my baby. No extra additives just whole fruits and veggies. Find the new Little Bellies frozen range at select Target stores.

Here are my 5 Tried and True Tips to preventing picky eaters.

Introduce new foods each week. This helps baby get use to new taste and textures when starting solids. Little Bellies has a variety of organic purees that will introduce different fruits and veggies. Simply thaw, defrost, and serve.

Get messy. Food can be fun too! By playing with their food, babies learn about smells and tastes and develop a positive association with foods.

Foster independent eating. Encourage them to feed themselves. This helps with their motor skills as well as self control. Little Bellies Frozen Purees are perfect for starting your little ones on solids

Empower with choice: Offer small portions of different foods at each meal. Little Bellies also offers a variety of snack options in addition to their purees and can be found at select Target stores.

Set an eating schedule and stick to it. Make sure main meals are not soon after snacks or breast/bottle feeds to avoid ruining appetite.

In my Mom era. It hasn’t been easy, I’m always tired, someone is crying, screaming, or needing to get changed or held. But I wouldn’t change any of these moments, because I know what it’s like not to have them. These are the days I know I’ll miss the most the most. Watching my independent nine year old grow up puts everything in perspective that these times are short. One minute you are cuddling and kissing their chubby little cheeks, and the next minute they are dodging your hugs and kisses. I might be one tired mama, but I’m one tired HAPPY, BLESSED mama.💛🙏🏽

Couldn’t ask for anything more this Mother’s Day. My greatest blessings. Thankful to be their mama.💛

What a crazy eventful week this past week has been. From celebrating my 36th birthday with family and friends to getting rushed to the ER in the middle of the night this past weekend and getting emergency gallbladder removal surgery. Then being transferred to another hospital to do another gastrointestinal procedure after having no signs of previous gastrointestinal issues. I never thought I would be having any of these health issues as someone who lives a pretty active lifestyle, but according to the doctors this is just something that could occur in women my age even without any previous health concerns. I’m thankful for the health professionals who took care of me this past week. I’m thankful for all of my friends and family who have sent prayers and well wishes. Beyond blessed for our family who helped watched our kiddos so Josh could be with me at the hospital. And extra grateful for my husband and best friend for taking care of our family and me, and being there by my side through the whole ordeal. It’s moments like this that really put in perspective how God puts the right people in your life. I don’t know what I would do without my family and my husband. They are my light and my motivation to get through it all. Happy to finally be home resting with my family and being home with my babies.💛🙏🏽

#ad I recently watch this film UNSUNG HERO, which is about family, community, faith, and the struggles a family is tasked with and that made me think about my mom’s immigration to America. All the things she did for us, the sacrifices she made so we could live a better life and live the American dream. Just like Helen in the @unsungheromovie mom’s are the true unsung heroes. We don’t want the accolades or the praise, we just want what’s best for our family. There is no greater calling in life than to be a mother and to raise your children in the ways of the lord and to see them fulfill their own true calling.
