I wish I could tell you that our engagement period I wish I could tell you that our engagement period was nothing short of a beautiful bliss, but, alas, that’s not what I’ve come to say. Despite it not being anywhere close to the fairytale I had in my mind, our specific journey contributed to laying the foundation of who we are today as Mr. + Mrs. Reid. We started premarital counselling prior to being engaged and something that probably should’ve taken a couple of weeks, actually took us well over a year to complete. There were some things that we had to learn and one of the greatest lessons was that we had to trust the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My proposal story was absolutely beautiful. Our engagement journey was where the refining of our characters had begun. By the time our wedding day rolled around, we were only interested in what God had to say. He had carried us through the fire and troubled waters and we were STILL coming out knowing that being married to each other was the best decision we could possibly make 💓|PC: @jbsmith .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #marriagemindset #marriagemonday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thereidexperience #hersocialgrooveandbaby #blackcouples #blacklove #blacklovematters #blackloveexists #frosandbeaus #loveisintheair #loversandfriends #torontocouples #youngblackandmarried #youngandmarried #gentlereminder #blackloveisreal #blackrelationships #blackcouplesgoals #blacklovedoc #luvblacklove #theblackmancan #teammanin #blackjoy #blackandeducated #blackfamilies #thesix #yyzblogger #torontoblog #torontomom #torontomommy

As we prepare for the cooler and eventually, colder months, one of the things you’ll learn very quickly is that we refuse to be cold (namely, me).

I would like to say that I’m a fairly optimistic I would like to say that I’m a fairly optimistic person. Not overly optimistic, but just the right amount if you know what I mean. I’ve categorized my Wednesdays for Wellness because as much as I love the idea of it, I don’t always make it a priority in every aspect of my life. However, optimism is apart of my wellness regime that I never want to lack. There’s enough craziness in the world and I want to maintain some level of sanity as much as I possibly can.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Two nights ago, I decided to shut down early and go to bed before midnight. Even though our youngest girl still stirs in the night and disrupts my sleep, it felt good to be in bed before midnight. Today, wellness looked like drinking my water, minding my business, spending time with the girls, and getting in a workout — even though I was going to skip it. Wellness. Make it a priority in your life, seriously//PC: @jbsmith ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #liveinspired #mindbodysoul #mindbodygram #mindbodyspirit #raiseyourvibrations #holisticliving #greenlifestyle #healthyhappylife #cleaneating #moveyourbody #dailydetox #justbreathe #fitforme #torontomom #torontoblog #yyzblogger #torontomommy

July 5th, 2015 — Keith proposed. One year from a July 5th, 2015 — Keith proposed. One year from asking me to be his girlfriend, he asked me to be his wife. On that particular day, we went to Niagara Falls to celebrate our one year anniversary. I asked him how he felt leading up to that moment and he said that he was nervous but excited. He said that the location was very important because he wanted it to be memorable. My first time to the Falls and it ended in a proposal — memorable it was. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our engagement period included a lot of hard but, necessary decisions, an extended premarital counselling season (not sessions), and several reflections. Getting to the alter wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be. The proposal really was the easiest part. Truly, it has been a journey but I wouldn’t have traded our story for any other in the world //PC: @jbsmith ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #marriagemindset #marriagemonday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thereidexperience #hersocialgrooveandbaby #blackcouples #blacklove #blacklovematters #blackloveexists #frosandbeaus #loveisintheair #loversandfriends #torontocouples #youngblackandmarried #youngandmarried #gentlereminder #blackloveisreal #blackrelationships #blackcouplesgoals #blacklovedoc #luvblacklove #theblackmancan #teammanin #blackjoy #blackandeducated #blackfamilies #thesix #yyzblogger #torontoblog #torontomom #torontomommy

When we approach God from a mindset of “God, ple When we approach God from a mindset of “God, please show me what you want me to do, and then I’ll decide if I want to do it or not,” that’s a recipe to not hear very much from Him. We can hear from God and see what He’s up to so much clearer when our attitude is, “God, before you say a word, my answer is ‘yes!’” — an excerpt from one of my most recent devotional plans. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being that I am a planner, I love to know what’s coming next. One of the things I am constantly working towards is moving forward in faith. I don’t know what God has in store for me for the remainder of this year, but I trust and believe that all will be well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #faithoverfear #faithblogger #christianinspiration #bibletruth #faithjourney #faithwalk #godspromises #prayerispowerful

When the world shut down back in March, it meant t When the world shut down back in March, it meant that I would have both girls home with me all day, everyday, until further notice. Keep in mind, I was still on maternity leave at the time. It was important to me to adopt a realistic routine (block-style) for the girls and for my sanity’s sake as well. I was inspired by Mattie (@themattiejames) to apply this concept and it worked out really well for us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Independent play was one of the things I carved out time for. I love to see children play with real life things. The girls don’t have an overwhelming amount of toys but some of what they do have definitely helps build their fine motor skills. I enjoy playing with the girls but listen, don’t underestimate the power of independent play especially when you have a number of things to get done around the house! //BOW: @sweetlyknotted.boutique, use our code HSGB10 to save some money + toy is from @ikeacanada ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mynameismama #honestlyparents #themindfulapproach #lifedailymoms #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodthroughig #mommymoments #magicofmotherhood #momslivinghappy #beyond_motherhood #parenthood_unveiled #simplymamahood #stopdropandmom #thisismotherhood ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thesix #yyzblogger #torontoblog #torontomom #torontomommyblogger #torontomommy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #beautifulbrownmom #melanin #blackbloggersclub #blackmomsblog #blackmomblogger #melaninblogger #blkgirldaily #browngirlsaredope ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blackmomskillingit

Recently, I had been randomly thinking about how I Recently, I had been randomly thinking about how I could affirm Charlotte and Chelsea so that they grow up to be confident women. Shortly after having these thoughts, I saw one of my faves @sashaexeter post about purchasing affirmation cards for her daughter. I went ahead and made my purchase right when @joyfulhearts.co restocked. I took it a step further and had these cards laminated at @staples so that I could preserve them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Daily affirmations are important because it is good to speak positivity over your life - always. I only started getting into affirmations over the past few months but I really do enjoy having my own personalized ones and now, for the girls to have their own as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thebabyreidexperience #hersocialgrooveandbaby #frobabies #blackbabies #blackbabiesrock #naturalhairbabies #brownbabies #afrobabies #kinkiliciouskids #beautifulblackbabies #melaninbabies #naturalhairkids #nobabyunhugged #thesix #yyzblogger #torontoblog #torontomom #torontomommyblogger #torontomommy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #beautifulbrownmom #melanin #blackbloggersclub #blackmomsblog #blackmomblogger #melaninblogger #blkgirldaily #browngirlsaredope ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blackmomskillingit
This photo is one of the earliest photos I have of This photo is one of the earliest photos I have of the Hubs and I. We were celebrating my birthday in Ottawa (the last celebration I had before returning home to Toronto) and that whole weekend was a vibe I wanted for life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That weekend in particular was when I realized why I was growing in love with this guy I had only met not even a full two months prior. So, two things I admired most (and still do!) — Keith is incredibly selfless and he wanted to make me his partner here on earth and in heaven as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you remember the initial reason as to why you grew in love with your partner?

“ If God speaks in whispers, can we hear him ove “ If God speaks in whispers, can we hear him over our insane schedules?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From ending my maternity leave a month early, up until now, I have been guilty of moving way too fast. I’ve been wanting to hear from God but if I am honest, if God speaks in whispers, how am I ever going to hear him with a schedule like mines? This line from the “What Is God Doing?” devotional (You Version Bible app) has stuck with ever since I read it. If moving too fast means I’m not going to be able to hear from God, I don’t want it. It’s not worth it to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m off from work today, and I intend to prioritize rest and family time.

Happy Friday Beautiful People! It’s been awhile Happy Friday Beautiful People! It’s been awhile so, let me dust off my small corner (but impactful) of the Internet and re-introduce myself — ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. I started blogging officially while on maternity leave with our first daughter Charlotte. However, I’ve been an avid writer for as long as I can remember. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. My love language has changed to primarily being Acts of Service. When I come home to the place looking like how I love to maintain it because my husband took the time to make sure everything is in good order, he makes my heart SOAR. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. I am transparent but, I have boundaries. I don’t care to rent out my mental space for free nor, for things that have no business being on my mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. I’m an extrovert, I naturally enjoy building connections with others — shout out to all of my mama friends who I’ve met in this space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. I believe in breaking generational cycles. I am by no means perfect, that will never be my goal, but I enjoy being super intentional about my relationships with my husband, our children, and my tribe //PC: @brentonalexanderphoto⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #curlbox #naturalhair #urbanhairpost ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #canadiannaturalistas #naturalhairsistas ⠀⠀ #unconditionedroots #braidsgang ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #curlsunderstood #curlygirlcollective ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hair2mesmerize #kinkscurlsncoils ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thewraplife #naturalhaircommunity #naturallyshesdope #naturalhairdoescare⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blackgirlswhoblog #blackgirlmagic #melanin #melaninqueens #blackwomendidthat #protectivestyles #naturalista #thesix #yyzblogger #torontoblog #torontomom #torontomomblogger #torontomommyblogger #torontomommy #beautifulbrownmom
