This year was one of slowing down, leaning in, and This year was one of slowing down, leaning in, and savoring every little moment. I prioritized local and familiar experiences over constant travel. I leaned into motherhood, cherishing the time it takes to nurture my little one’s growth. I worked on balancing my time as a mom and a wife. I found joy in the smallest moments and celebrated every victory, no matter how small. I expressed endless gratitude for this life God has gifted me. I went on so many mommy-and-son adventures. I spent meaningful time with family. I worked hard, trusted God, and embraced new opportunities. And we moved abroad…again! 2024 was a beautiful chapter, and I’m so thankful for it. Here’s to whatever 2025 has in store. #2024Wrapped #YearInReview #GratefulHeart #IntentionalLiving #MomLife #LifeAbroad #FamilyAdventures #2024Highlights #ReflectAndGrow
Spend Christmas morning with us in Germany! 🎄✨ This year, Gozie and I decided to skip gifts for each other and focus on what matters most—time together as a family. But little Gideon? He was spoiled, thanks to what we got for him and our wonderful family and friends who made his day so special. ❤️ As tired parents, we still haven’t set up his big gift, but I promise to share it with you once it’s ready! Wishing you all a cozy and joy-filled day, whether you’re celebrating or simply enjoying the season. ✨ #ChristmasMorning #FamilyChristmas #LifeInGermany #ExpatChristmas #HolidayTraditions #IntentionalLiving #MomLife #ChristmasJoy #GratefulHeart
Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ This year looks a little Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ This year looks a little different for us—new country, new traditions, same love. Sending warmth and joy from our little corner of Germany to wherever you are in the world. ❤️ #MerryChristmas #ChristmasAbroad #HolidayTraditions #FamilyChristmas #ExpatLife #LifeInGermany #Christmas2024 #HolidayMagic #IntentionalLiving #GratefulHeart
I was baking Christmas cookies with my little one I was baking Christmas cookies with my little one in the kitchen when one of my favorite holiday songs started playing. It’s a song my mom and I would listen to on repeat while making treats together—prepping for family and friends to fill our home with laughter and love. At that moment, the weight of this season hit me. I miss those traditions, my mom, and being home for the holidays. This year, we chose to stay in Germany. Between the stress of traveling with a toddler, the cost, and the need to settle into our new life, staying put made the most sense. But choosing to stay doesn’t mean it’s easy. It doesn’t mean I’m not sad. So, while we’re embracing new traditions here, my heart is also back home—wrapped in warm memories and the sounds of familiar songs. ❤️🎄 To anyone navigating similar feelings this season, you’re not alone. #ExpatLife #HolidaysAbroad #MomLife #ChristmasTraditions #LifeAbroad #FamilyMemories
We’ve been curling up this Christmas season with We’ve been curling up this Christmas season with the most beautifully illustrated book, Sounding Joy. ✨🎄⁠ ⁠ It’s become a cherished part of our holiday routine—a little moment of calm, reflection, and connection during these busy days. The vibrant illustrations celebrate diversity, something so important in our home, and the story shares the true meaning of Christmas from a faith-filled perspective.⁠ ⁠ We’ve read it almost every day this month, and honestly, I don’t think we’ll stop anytime soon. It’s one of those timeless books I know we’ll reach for year after year.⁠ ⁠ If you’re looking for a heartfelt Christmas story to share with your little ones—this is it. ❤️⁠ ⁠ Do you have any favorite holiday books or traditions in your family? I’d love to hear them!⁠ ⁠ #FaithFilledChristmas #ChristmasTraditions #HolidayReads #ToddlerMomLife #IntentionalParenting #CozyChristmas #FamilyMoments

I might have a slight obsession with @tchibo, but I might have a slight obsession with @tchibo, but can you blame me? This rain outfit for my little one is everything! 🐾✨ The adorable dog print, reflective details for safety, and cozy rain-ready essentials like the coat, pants, socks, and boots—chef’s kiss. Exploring new stores (and styles!) is one of my favorite parts of settling into a new country, and Germany is already winning me over with its practicality and charm. What’s your go-to store for toddler clothes where you live? Let me know—I love discovering new favorites! #LifeInGermany #RainyDayStyle #ToddlerFashion #ExpatMom #SettlingInAbroad #IntentionalLiving #GlobalFamily

My husband Gozie promised to show me the world bef My husband Gozie promised to show me the world before we got married, and now we’re living that dream—not just for us, but for our little one too. Watching the world through his eyes is the greatest blessing I could have ever imagined. ❤️ Sometimes I look back and wonder, How did we get here? From Morocco to India, from Ecuador to our next adventure, each chapter of our journey has been filled with challenges, growth, and memories that have shaped us. This life isn’t always easy, but it’s a life I am endlessly grateful for. To be able to share the beauty, diversity, and wonder of the world with our two-year-old is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. Here’s to the journey that brought us here and the adventures yet to come. 🌍✨ #GratefulHeart #FamilyAdventures #LifeAbroad #GlobalParenting #TravelingFamily #ExpatLife #WorldExplorers #IntentionalLiving #JourneyOfALifetime #CountingBlessings
