Well friends, we did it. Two kids officially raised to school age without completely ruining their lives. 🙌🏽 Off to 2nd Grade and Kinder for these two wild and beautiful girls. So proud of the young ladies they are and looking forward to an exciting year ahead. Be brave and be kind sweet girls and the rest will fall into place ❤

We had a pretty awesome summer. Spent more time swimming, traveling and watching movies than reading, but don't tell our teachers 😉🤷🏼‍♀️ Back to school tomorrow for our bigs!

Biggest & Littlest 💙💜 We are gearing up for an exciting year and new season with ALL FOUR CHILDREN in school. Bless you lifer stay at home mamas, but I'm just about maxed out and itching to dig into my work more. This fall I get to make my dream come true and write a book 📚 🙌🏽 Thank you to all you amazing teachers out there who love our kids so well everyday!!!

My heart is heavy and has been since the moment a woman I had just met placed a baby in my arms. A baby that didn't look anything like me, but looked just like her. A boy that we both loved so deeply. I am NOT his savior and I'm not doing anything special. I am simply a vessel being used to love and raise him when his first family couldn't. My eyes have been opened to the pain and racism in this world since that day and I will never be the same and I'm so thankful for how this boy has changed our lives. People see him now and comment how adorable and sweet he is, and my heart breaks a little knowing someday he will be closely watched in stores and questioned more than my other children. His skin may be a darker shade and we love and cherish him for that. It destroys my heart to see men and women who look like my son being told they are less than.
White friends - educate yourselves!! Friends of color - you are so loved and know that many of us will not stop fighting for you. ❤

Thanks @ontheborder for the free back to school meals! We had a fun family night and are gearing up to send these cuties back to school this week! ☺️👏🏽

Last weekend of the summer feelings: 😩& 🙌🏽 #sundayjamesgang

I keep thinking about living with an eternal perspective and how it changes the way we live. Take hold of this eternal life!!! 🙌🏽

Cannonball contest. I'll give you one guess who took away the trophy 🏆☺️

Only one week of summer left! I'm counting down the days and mourning at the same time. I have a book to write so I'm excited to dig into that, but will miss these lazy days by the pool. ☀️
