He only has eyes for me. The way he looks at me sa He only has eyes for me. The way he looks at me says it all. ❤️ 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way he looks at me still makes me blush and feel like that young girl he married several years ago. Our love continues to grow stronger and for this I am very grateful. Grateful that we were patient and waited on God to bless us with each other.  Grateful that we continue to work together to make sure our marriage works. Grateful to know that we will never give up on our love.  Don’t get me wrong, marriage isn’t easy, but just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean it can’t work. It takes two to make it work. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finding a man or woman that loves you unconditionally, that’s faithful, and who wants to be with you forever regardless of the struggles, is a keeper. I thank God I married my forever best friend. That's a blessing I will always cherish and be thankful for. Sometimes we have to remove that fear to see what God has in store for us. There is someone out there for everyone. It just might not be the right time for them to find you. Be patient and wait on God’s timing.

Have you found your soulmate?
Today is full of celebration. He is Risen! 🙌🏾 Happy Resurrection Sunday from my family to yours. 🐣

Today, my husband and I are reminding our boys about the true meaning of Resurrection Sunday. That's important in our household. We will be enjoying church service and then having an Easter egg hunt in the house later.

PS. Always remember that you were worth dying for 🙌🏾

What are your plans for today?
I have some great news to share. #ad @BJsWholesale I have some great news to share. #ad @BJsWholesale updated & redesigned their Optical Centers. Isn’t that great? 

They have an even larger, high-quality frame assortment, top contact lens brands at select clubs and on BJs.com, and innovative prescription eyeglass lenses that can be customized to suit you and your family’s lifestyle. 

I can bring my son to their Optical Center to have his eye exam and pick out his glasses. It’s so convenient and makes it easy for me to enjoy my grocery run while purchasing his frames. That sounds like a win to me.  I also love that I can purchase my contacts online at BJs.com/Optical in under 10 mins. Plus, BJ’s accepts walk-ins. Appointments are recommended but not required for eye exams. You can experience the same. 

Stop by your local BJ’s Optical Center to take advantage and save more.

Sometimes the best photos are when we capture chil Sometimes the best photos are when we capture children as they are and not how we want them to be.

On this day, I wanted a picture with my boys sitting next to me but Jasiel decided to run off. I got upset because he wasn't listening to me. Later I realized, that I was wrong and should have listened to him.

This is the image my hubby captured. The image shows his true reaction. It shows that he likes to have fun when it's time to take pictures.  I say all this to say that we should let them enjoy taking photos and let them act silly and show their true personality. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you get your children to take photos?
𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨? 
That's the question, I asked my kids and this was their reaction. I guess we will never know who made the mess. 😩
One thing about my kids is that they will make a mess on purpose just to see my reaction. Sometimes they do it just to get the other one in trouble. Kids I tell you. I really think both of them made the mess. Just look at their faces, they both look guilty. 

Also, they're loving their @fabkids outfits and shoes. They look forward to seeing what they receive every month. Right now you can get 2 pairs of shoes from $9.95 + Free Shipping when you become a VIP.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So tell me who do you think made the mess?
I don't know who needs to hear this but don't allo I don't know who needs to hear this but don't allow your past hurt to stop a man from loving you. 💙 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may have had a bad childhood while growing up. You may have been in an abusive relationship. The pain may still there, but don't allow that pain to become your worst enemy. It can block your blessing. The blessing can be the man that God has for you. He may be trying to come into your life, but the pain you've experienced is stopping God from blessing you with that man. That pain may be stopping that man from loving you. Let go and let God bless you.

So late week, we were at @legolandflorida. We rented this car from @hertz and let me tell you. Our entire experience was perfect and that's a word a rarely use. The vehicle was spotless clean. @hertz has a wide variety of vehicles to choose from for a great price. All of their vehicles are sealed and certified 'Hertz Gold Standard Clean. This means that all of their vehicles receive a 15-point cleaning and sanitization process. They have implemented several safety and cleaning protocols to make your road trip a success. You can't go wrong with @hertz.
