Finally, I’m sharing this exciting journal today! I’ve created countless journals that I’ve shared here on my blog. Many of them took only 3 days. This one took over 2.5 years. That’s how crazy how life becomes when you become a mom. When you become a mom, you will never be your first priority. So, of course, you give up things you love doing in the process… But eventually, I got it done, I’m so glad.

It covers the 9 months of my pregnancy and 1st year of Nyras life! But remember, pictures never do justice especially to journals as you can really never see their true colors, quality or beauty through photos but I tried my best. Even though I had been gifted commercial baby books to document her first year, I decided to create one. This is because I find journaling and scrapbooking so therapeutic. It really is a great hobby! The only downside is that it can be very time-consuming especially when you have a little one with never-ending needs!

Stay tuned for video of this journal on my YouTube channel. If you loved turning the pages and checking this journal out, please don’t forget to leave a comment below. I love hearing from you all.

Replace one sugary drink — Coke, Red Bull, or a sports drink — with a green juice.
Just one.
Your body will feel the difference.

We were sold fake refreshment for years — Coke for thirst, Red Bull for energy, sports drinks for hydration.
But the real refreshment is leafy greens blended into a glass of green juice.

If you’re ready to switch from sugar to nourishment, reply ‘green juice’ and I’ll send you the article with my voicover.

Some afternoons aren’t meant for laptops. 👩🏼‍💻 
They’re meant for sunshine, water, and making memories.
