For almost a year I’ve been sharing these little scripture encouragements here on TikTok… and now they’ve grown into a daily devotional podcast 🥹⚓️ Anchored in the Word is basically the deeper version of what I share here — practical faith, scripture, mindset, peace, spiritual habits, all of it. New episodes every morning at 5AM EST + there are already 20+ episodes waiting for you 🤍 If you’ve been wanting something encouraging for your mornings, your commute, your walks, or your gym time… come listen 🫶🏽 🎙️ Anchored in the Word 🔗 Link in bio

Y’all, I’ve officially been bitten by the dense bean salad bug! 🥗😂 I made my own version inspired by cowboy caviar, added some chicken, and LISTEN! It was delicious! The best part? It was super easy to throw together, and now we’ve got lunch ready for the week. We love a good meal prep that doesn’t feel like meal prep! 🙌🏾 Have you jumped on the dense bean salad trend yet? What are you putting in yours? Dressing Ingredients: Fresh lime juice Olive oil Cumin powder Jalapeño powder Chili powder Smoked paprika Complete seasoning Salt Black pepper Honey Onion powder Fresh minced garlic #creatorsearchinsights #beanssalad #DenseBeanSalad #CowboyCaviar #MealPrepIdeas

One thing about us… we’re going to make room in our suitcases for more @tonies de and @Yoto cards! 😂✈️📚 As a family of 4 traveling internationally full-time, we always have a restock list when we head back to the US. Our Toniebox and Yoto players have been some of our favorite things to travel with, especially for screen-free entertainment, audiobooks, and learning on the go! Here’s everything we added to the kids’ collections this time! Do your kids prefer Tonies or Yoto? And what are their favorite characters or cards? We’re always looking for recommendations! 👀 #FullTimeTravelFamily #TravelWithKids #Toniebox #YotoPlayer #ScreenFreeKids

My sister bought her first home, and I wanted to help her start building a collection of games for all the family game nights and gatherings ahead! 🏡🎲❤️ Here’s everything I picked up for her! Now I need your help… Which of these games are your favorites, and what MUST-HAVE games are we missing? Drop your recommendations in the comments! 👇🏽 #GameNight #FamilyGameNight #BoardGames #HousewarmingGift #NewHome @Ebony M. Mattox

My sister @Ebony M. Mattox bought her first home, so you already know I had to make sure the food was just as special as the occasion! 🏡💕 A little good food, a little styling, and a whole lot of love went into this spread. Because presentation matters, too! ✨ #HousewarmingParty #FoodStyling #PartyFoodIdeas #FoodPresentation #EntertainingAtHome

Wait… how do we already have a FIRST grader and a SECOND grader?! 🥹❤️📚 Another homeschool year is officially underway, and I’m so excited to see all the learning, growth, and memories this year brings! 🍎✏️ #HomeschoolMom #HomeschoolLife #FirstDayOfHomeschool #FirstGrade #SecondGrade

Not me casually popping back up like I haven’t been missing for almost 2 months. 😂🥹 Life has been full, but I’ve missed y’all! Soooo… how’s everybody doing? What have I missed? 👀❤️

I said it! 🍵🍋😂 Matcha lemonade > matcha latte. Are we agreeing or arguing? 👀 #Matcha #MatchaLemonade #MatchaTok #MatchaLover

Four years ago, I decided I was going to give my daughter microlocs… with absolutely no experience doing microlocs. 😂 No class, no training—I researched, figured it out as I went, and trusted the process. Now here we are **4 years later** and her locs are healthy, growing, and THRIVING. 🥹🙌🏾 Sometimes you really do just have to start and figure it out along the way. My little washday and retie reflection. #Microlocs #MicrolocJourney #LocJourney #GirlsWithLocs #NaturalHair

Replying to @LifeWithJhanne Jaxon finally got to put his birthday sushi-making kit to use! 🍣🥒 He loves sushi, so we made his very own veggie roll together—and he was so proud of how it turned out. 🥹 I love finding ways to get the kids in the kitchen, especially when we’re making something they’re already excited to eat. Would your kids try making their own sushi? #CookingWithKids #KidsInTheKitchen #HomemadeSushi #FamilyActivities #MomAndSon

😂 Listen… the trips are real, the views are beautiful, and we are absolutely enjoying this season of our lives. But so is the budgeting, planning, prioritizing, and sometimes saying “not right now” to one thing so we can say YES to something else. Traveling as a family doesn’t mean we have an unlimited budget—it means we’ve decided what we want our money to make room for in this season. ✈️🌎 So yes, you may see me somewhere with a beautiful view living my best life…but please remember the budget has already spoken. 😂 “Don’t ask me for no money!” #Fam#FamilyTravela#TravelingFamilyd#BudgetTravell#FullTimeTravelmilyTravelLife

#anchoredinthewordreplay Trade worry for prayer and let God‘s peace guard your mind today. ##bibletok##praceofgod##Christianencouragement#p#prayerworks

11 months. Multiple countries. Lots of unpacking and repacking days. 🌍✈️ Before leaving the U.S., I stocked up on my favorite hygiene products because I wasn’t sure what we’d be able to find abroad. Some were absolutely worth the suitcase space… and some I definitely could’ve bought anywhere. 😂 If you’re planning long-term travel, hopefully this helps you decide what’s actually worth packing! Have you ever stocked up on something before a big move or trip?

A day at Mundo Petapa was definitely a win for our family! 🎢🎡 The kids had an absolute blast, and I was surprised by just how many rides were included. Matty officially proved she’s our little daredevil, hopping on the big roller coasters without hesitation! 😂❤️ If you’re visiting Guatemala City with kids, I’d definitely recommend adding this to your list.

Watercolors by the pool turned into one of those simple summer afternoons I know I’ll want to remember. 🎨☀️ We used our Emily Lex Studio watercolor books, admired everyone’s finished paintings, and—because no pool day is complete without it—the kids jumped in for a swim at the end. 💦 Creating, laughing, and making sweet summer memories together. These are the days. 🤍 #SummerFamilyMemories #WatercolorWithKids #EmilyLexStudio #ScreenFreeActivities #FamilyPoolDay

This oatmeal waffle batter is one of our family’s go-to breakfasts! 🧇 It’s easy to make, stores great in the fridge, and everyone loves it. We just make fresh waffles whenever we’re ready to eat. The full recipe is at the end of the video—don’t forget to screenshot it! ❤️ #BreakfastIdeas #FamilyMeals #EasyBreakfast #OatmealWaffles #HomemadeFood

Jaxon is our family’s official treasure collector. 😂 Whether it’s a Lego, a cool rock, a random screw, or a piece of construction material, I’m constantly asking, “What did you just put in your pocket?” Tell me I’m not the only parent with a little collector! 👀 #parenting #boymom #familylife #travelfamily #kidsbeingkids

After 8+ years of carrying a crossbody, I think I might be making the switch to a tote bag. 👜 These are the three I've been using lately, and each one has its pros and cons. Are you Team Tote or Team Crossbody? 👇 @Reebok @Longchamp @Old Navy

#onthisday 😂😂😂😂

We spent Sunday exploring one of the most beautiful zoos we’ve ever visited! 🦁🇬🇹 After church, our crew (plus our friends visiting from Peru!) headed to the Guatemala City Zoo, and we were so impressed with how natural the habitats felt. Definitely one of our favorite family outings in Guatemala! #Guatemala #GuatemalaCity #LaAuroraZoo #FamilyTravel #TravelWithKids

#onthisday 😊🥰😊

I never thought getting cinematic travel footage could actually be this simple. 🤯 Power it on, choose a flight mode, and it launches straight from your palm—no controller and no complicated setup. It’s become one of my favorite travel gadgets because I can finally get shots of our family without asking someone else to film us. And right now it’s 25% OFF during the TikTok Shop Summer Sale, so it’s a great time to grab one if it’s been on your wishlist. 🛍️ Tap the link in my TikTok Shop before the sale ends! @HOVERAir Official @HOVERAir_studio #hoverair #hoverairx1promax #flyingcamera #drone #travelcreator

30 hours in Antigua, Guatemala and we packed in WAY more than I expected! 🇬🇹 From a free walking tour and Caoba Farms to Hobbitenango, an ATV adventure, chocolate making, and some incredible food... here's everything we experienced in just over a day. Would you add Antigua to your Guatemala itinerary? #AntiguaGuatemala #GuatemalaTravel #Guatemala #CentralAmerica #TravelFamily

As a full-time traveling family, every single item has to earn its place in our luggage. 😅 These are the five things we’ve carried from country to country because they make such a big difference in our everyday life. Some make travel easier, some keep the kids entertained, and one just makes every place feel a little more like home. 🧇❤️ If you’re curious about the Nex Playground, I’ve linked it in my TikTok Shop since it’s one of our favorite ways to keep the kids active indoors. @Apple TV @MAGNA-TILES @LEGO @Nex Playground @Hamiltonbeachcol Now I want to know… What’s one thing you always pack, no matter how much space it takes up? #FullTimeTravelFamily #FamilyTravel #TravelWithKids #DigitalNomadFamily #TravelEssentials
