Exciting News and My First Video

July 17, 2020      Jasmine M.      2 Comments

I have some exciting news that I have been holding in! A while back I finally ignored my fears and reached out to a local videographer. This is something I have dreamt of doing for a while now. I honestly just felt too afraid, and didn't really know where to start. I told him what I was looking for and he went from there. I wanted a fun family intro + a trailer for my new channel. It was nothing at all like I expected! It was like meeting with ...

Exciting Announcements

October 17, 2018      Jasmine M.      6 Comments

I've been really quiet over this way for a bit, and decided it was time for an update. Back in August on my youngest daughter's 4th birthday I found out some exciting news! Earlier in the day I was feeling really nauseous, and I had some light cramping. I remember feeling really dizzy and for a faint second it popped in my head to grab a test. ...

Healing and Hospitality

Healing God's Way

How fitting that my very first blog post would be about healing and hospitality. Let me first start by saying that I broke my ankle on February 27th. It was an ordinary day of picking up my eldest daughter from preschool and grabbing lunch.  I was walking down the steps at home carrying my son in his car seat. I missed a few steps and twisted my ankle. I felt it pop beneath my weight, but thankfully my little man was left unscathed. There I was ...

About

I just want to start by saying I am so grateful that you are here. I was born and raised in the south, and consume way too much coffee. I’m married to my best friend, and we have 5 kids + 1 hyperactive Weimaraner and a Jack Chi mix! In the summer of 2020, our lives were turned upside down forever —  when our youngest daughter was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma.

We were thrown headfirst into a completely different world. In October 2021 she, unfortunately, had to have her eye removed. She is thriving and inspires me daily to seek joy. I have wrestled in the tension of the unknown and God’s goodness. I’ve seen a darkness so thick with despair I couldn’t see a way out, but the Light always made its way in.

Through the grief, I’ve vowed to do my best to raise more awareness and to advocate for childhood cancer. I’ve shared my daughter’s story with Good Morning America, Today’s Parents, and many other news outlets. 

I believe in sharing our stories because that’s where the connection and healing start. It is my biggest passion to encourage others through my own stories. I don’t have all the answers, fashion, or beauty tips. But what I do have is a deep desire in my soul to bring Jesus all the glory through my story.

I hope to; encourage, uplift, and inspire others to see and live life through the lens of grace. And laugh a little, because sometimes you just need either a good laugh or a cry. I hope you will pull up a chair, kick back, and join me. There’s always a seat at the table for you here!
