On the blog today I posted Keilah’s birth story and details about our first week as a family of 7! Head to my stories for the link! 💕 Because of our sweet baby girl, Valentine’s Day is pretty low key for us this year.

  • I have said it before and I’ll say it again, brownies are my absolute favorite dessert! In my opinion, a spectacular brownie needs to be insanely fudgy and irresistibly chocolatey {cakey brownies need not apply}. 🍫 These flourless brownies are all that and more. Plus they are Paleo but  they don’t taste healthy at all (like not in the slightest). Click on the link in my profile for the full recipe and to watch the video! 💕

  • Hello world, I’d like you to meet Keilah Faith. (Pronounced Kay-luh). 💕 We have been soaking her in every moment since her super speedy arrival on Monday.  Keilah means “strong fortress” in Hebrew. Our prayer for her is that she is strong and steadfast in her faith in the Lord all the days of her life. .
.
Needless to say I am smitten, as is the rest of our family. I’ll post more details in the future, but for now I’ll be resting and loving on my sweet baby girl. 💕 “Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.” Psalm 116:7

  • I know everyone is focused on Super Bowl food today, but I am all about the chocolate. 🍫 Especially these Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes. They are a rich, decadent, gourmet dessert that are surprisingly easy and uncomplicated to make! They come together from start to finish in under 20 minutes with 6 ingredients and are always a show stopper! Click on the link in my profile for the full recipe and to watch the video! 🍫😘

The thing is, I never thought for one second I would still be pregnant and in a place to even care about the Super Bowl this year. My due date is tomorrow, but after having four kids all born well before their expected arrival dates, I just never imagined that baby number 5 wouldn’t follow suit. She obviously just needs more time to bake in there, but oh my word I am so antsy to meet her I can barely stand it. So while it’ll be fun watching the Super Bowl (with zero snacks or food prepared lol), I would much prefer to be snuggling my sweet baby girl! 💕🙏🏻🤰🏻
