I stepped outside the box.
Not because it was uncomfortable
but because it was too small.
The world doesn’t reward sameness.
It responds to courage.
This is what choosing yourself looks like

I know everybody says their child changed their life, but if you really knew the depth of what Paxton means to me… you’d understand why I love him the way I do 💙
Happy Birthday my Boy!
Today my baby turns THREE. 💙🥹
Three years of being a boy mom.
Three years of being a cool mom.
Three years of being hardworking, intentional, loving, and learning myself through motherhood.
Three years of laughter, cuddles, chaos, healing, learning, and growing together.
Three years of sharks, toy obsessions, cartoons, dancing, snacks, and Dunkin glazed donuts.
Three years of watching the most energetic, loving, funny little Taurus grow into his own personality.
Paxton, you saved me in ways you’ll never fully understand. God knew exactly what He was doing when He gave me you. Becoming your mom changed my life forever, and I would choose you again and again and again in every lifetime. You are truly my peace and that’s exactly what your name means to me.
You are smart, adventurous, affectionate, hilarious, stubborn in true Taurus fashion 😂, full of excitement, and full of the purest love. Watching you grow has been the greatest privilege of my life. Every hug, every kiss, every “Mommy look!”, every little moment means everything to me.
Happy 3rd Birthday Bub! Mr Paxton Jupiter, PJ, Papi! 3️⃣🎈🎂🦈
I’m gonna be real with y’all… in just three years, this has been the best Mother’s Day for me from start to finish.The morning started perfect breakfast in bed, slow energy, a few naps in between just resting and soaking it all in.
Later in the evening I got to spend time with my sister, my mom, my nieces and nephews, and just being surrounded by my family really made my heart full.And then I ended it home, relaxed… my boy playing with his toys, then cuddled right up next to me. Belly full, a little Netflix on, just peace.
I look forward to so many more years like this. I’m so grateful I get to be a mom to Paxton, a sister, a daughter, an auntie… just living in all my roles with love and gratitude.
God is good. 💐
Dear Paxton,
You were born on Mother’s Day 2023 so this day will forever mean more to me than flowers, gifts, or a holiday ever could. The day I became your mommy was the day my life truly changed.
Your name means peace, and baby, that’s exactly what you brought into my life. In the middle of every storm, every lesson, every growing pain… you became my calm. My reason. My light. God placed you here for me, and I’ll never stop thanking Him for trusting me with someone so beautiful, smart, loving, and full of joy.
This is my 3rd Mother’s Day, and every year with you feels sweeter than the last. Watching you grow has been the greatest blessing of my life. You are my everything, Paxton.
I promise to spend the rest of my life making sure you feel loved, protected, supported, and happy. I pray you never have to question how deeply your mommy loves you. I’ll always do everything in my power to make sure you never want for anything not love, not comfort, not guidance, not support.
Thank you for making me a mother.
Thank you for saving parts of me you’ll never even realize you healed.
Thank you for being my peace.
Happy Mother’s Day to me… because God gave me you. 💙. @pjandmycoolmom
Life lately.
Today makes a week. A whole week in my own space… and for the first time in a long time, I finally feel like I can breathe again.
God gave me a HOME. Not just walls… peace.
This season humbled me, stretched me, and saved me all at once.
Vickena, you were always bigger than the program. Bigger than survival mode. Bigger than what tried to break you.
You’re the house! 🖤 🏡 Paxton This is Our Year!
