Marry your best friend. Someone you can’t go a day without talking to, someone who loves you at your worst and still chooses you everyday. The person who you can be so mad and annoyed at yet can’t imagine being without. The person who you can share your life long dreams with and works with you to accomplish them. The person who even after 10 years later gives you butterflies in your stomach and makes you giggle like a school girl. Marry your best friend because marriage will never get old. The love and romance will only get stronger and better as you grow older together.💛🙏🏽 #marriagelife

Why do we women grow up in a society telling us that we can’t have careers, education, and travel if we have kids? I grew up with the hustle mentality, working hard to get a college degree, build a career, traveled the world, always worried that if I started a family I would have to give up everything. The moment I had my son my life did change. But for the better. It brought out a drive I never had before because I was finally living for someone outside myself. Every child we have brought in this world has been a blessing. It has helped me focus on what matters most. I still travel on my own. I still pursue my dreams. But now I don’t work for anyone but myself and for my family. I quit the corporate world and created a business that allows me to put my family first. I have a husband who works hard to provide for our family and is the best father to our kids and partner who supports me in my dreams. I will never let my children grow up thinking I didn’t get to live my best life because of them. I want them to know I have the best life I could ever imagine because of them. My life didn’t stop after having kids, my life only flourished because God became the center if it all and he has blessed me with the best family I could ask for. 💛🙏🏽

Thankful for my hubby for always supporting me in my crazy dreams. Even if it means last minute booking a trip to look at properties in a new city in an international country while you are 23 weeks pregnant.😅 It’s been over two years since I’ve traveled without my family. Having separation anxiety was something I dealt with. But being on this trip has reminded me that though I am a mother I can still do things by myself and enjoy it. Answering God’s calling may mean stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. But choose Faith over Fear and trust in him. God has great plans for you.💛🙏🏽

A morning in my life solo parenting 22 weeks pregnant with 3 kiddos and two toddlers. Getting out and staying active with my kiddos has been so crucial in staying healthy in this pregnancy. Plus a little endorphins and Vitamin D makes everyone in a better mood for the day. It’s not easy having my hubby gone for weeks at a time but my kiddos are my motivation and I’m thankful to be healthy and be their mama. 💛🙏🏽 #momlife

As someone who has experienced loss, near death birth, and the idea I may never have any more children again, there’s not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful to be carrying this miracle growing inside me. 22 weeks and already half way through this pregnancy. Everyday I am healthy and able to carry this sweet girl inside me is a blessing. God truly works miracles everyday. And every child born into this world is a testament of that.💛🙏🏽 #godisgood #motherhood

One of the many reasons we chose to homeschool is more time with our family. Now our field trips means not only fun with our homeschool friends but family too! We enjoyed our interactive experience @colorfactoryco and 💯 recommend for your next homeschool and/or family outing! The only problem is the kids may never want to leave!🤪 #homeschoollife

Being a mother has changed me in so many ways, but most of all it’s brought be closer to God. I never understood his love until then. I didn’t get how someone could love me regardless of all my imperfections. But God doesn’t see us as imperfect. We are in his image perfectly made. Just like when we love our child, our children are perfectly made just as they are. And no matter the mistakes or trouble they get in to we will love them no matter what just as God loves us. 💛🙏🏽 #mothersloveisunconditional

My greatest blessings and greatest joy!🥰 I think we have a pretty good mix! But you tell me who do you think each of our kids look more like? Also any guesses on who Baby #4 will take after? #darnellfamily
