Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people! 💖
It’s been 10 days since my last post, but for good reason—we’ve been in full birthday party mode! 🥳
April is such a special month for our family. My sweet Zoe turned 7, and just two weeks later, Le’Veon turned 9. Can you believe it? My heart is so full—I honestly can’t stop smiling just thinking about the joy these little humans bring into my life. 💕🎂
We went all out for the celebrations and had a feast! Tayler brought the flavor with his mouthwatering chicken and ribs (seriously, the man can cook), and I made some of our family favorites—Jollof rice, fried rice, puff puff, and of course, plantains. It was one of those meals where everyone had seconds (and thirds!) and still talked about it the next day.
And let’s talk about the cakes! Zoe is currently obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, so she was over the moon about her Sonic cake made by my incredibly talented friend @SugarShay3737. Y’all, when I say her cakes are delicious—I mean next level good. Go follow her and thank me later. 🎂💙💨
This season always makes me reflect on God’s faithfulness. Ten years ago, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of my first baby at just 7 weeks. It shattered me. I wasn’t sure how I’d ever smile again. But through prayer, hope, and unwavering belief, God healed my heart. Today, I’m a proud mama of three. 🙏🏾✨
He truly does make beauty from ashes. If He can do it for me, He can absolutely do it for you too. Please don’t give up. Keep praying. Keep hoping. Your story isn’t over.
Grateful beyond words.
With all my love,
Maryam
