Diary of a Thriving Mum

Let me tell you something—when I made my hair this weekend, I didn’t just look good, I looked goooooddd. 💁🏽‍♀️ It had been a hot minute since I gave myself some TLC, so I decided it was time to show up and show out. And who better to look cute for than Jesus? Off to church I went, rocking my new ‘do with a smile that could light up a room.

After a soul-refreshing service, I channeled my inner swag as I walked into the food court. Yes, I swayed my hips with my head held high (new hair energy, y’all). My mission? Popeyes chicken wings, fries, and an ice-cold Coke. Mission accomplished, I retreated to my car to enjoy my feast, gisting with my sister while my little girl snoozed peacefully in her car seat. Then we went for a nice ride on the train in the park and sang so louddd as we drove home. Talk about Sunday bliss!

When we got home, I tucked my daughter into bed and reclaimed some much-needed me time. With popcorn and ice cream in hand, I binge-watched a comedy show (because life already throws enough plot twists, thank you). There’s just something about laughter that feels like a hug for the soul.

Before calling it a night, I spent some quiet moments in Bible study and personal reflection. I’m stepping into this year with an open heart, declaring it my year of peace, abundance, and joy. It feels like a fresh start, and I’m here for it!

So, that was my great day—filled with small wins, simple pleasures, and a whole lot of gratitude. Now, tell me about yours! What’s your idea of a perfect day?
