![| #tbt to cooler weather and a "day date" with our first born. I love the days when Hubby + I get to spend one-on-one time with either kiddo.
---
When I got pregnant with P, I was hell-bent on making tons of memories with MJ before she arrived. I never wanted him to feel like he was getting less of Mommy + Daddy, just because we were growing our family. Well guess what? He doesn't remember any of those moments. 😂 He doesn't even remember a time when it was just the 3 of us -- but I know he'll grow to cherish these days now. ❤ #mySONshine #ilovemesomethem
P.S. Is it just me, or does MJ look like me [with Hubby's eyes] in this pic?? // #theprinceandthepfamily](http://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/d3be8146776e398d323c1cd1016ada8d/5C2A1746/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c179.0.721.721/s640x640/40751423_1836670313113447_3484482251284753517_n.jpg "| #tbt to cooler weather and a \"day date\" with our first born.

![| This kid of mine is SO inquisitive, and is super interested in his future. "How will I know who God picks as my wife?" [Pray about it, He'll tell you.] "How do I know which job is going to be the one I do forever?" [You'll wake up on Mondays, and not dread going to it. 😓] "Do I get to choose how long I want to go to college?" [Yep. You even get to choose if you want to go at all. 🤯] I am loving this stage, and all the teaching moments that come with it. It's forcing me to be more intentional in my efforts, before I lose him to mall hangs, a cell phone, and late movies with friends.
Being the mom to a 9 year old boy is amazing. Being a mom to MY 9 year old boy is even better. ♡ #mySONshine // #theprinceandthep](http://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/004b1db079ad154016a25e63a340d1c1/5C3E1B0D/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.132.1080.1080/s640x640/40752292_325735774639929_896628856013626306_n.jpg "| This kid of mine is SO inquisitive, and is super interested in his future. \"How will I know who God picks as my wife?\" [Pray about it, He'll tell you.] \"How do I know which job is going to be the one I do forever?\" [You'll wake up on Mondays, and not dread going to it. 😓] \"Do I get to choose how long I want to go to college?\" [Yep.

![| Hey New Frans. I'm Shay.
It took me two days to come up with that. #truestory
I've been searching for the words to welcome all of the new faces who've found us, through what I can only assume was my recent IG Stories. Never did I imagine in my realization that the hair product industry was failing me -- failing US -- did I imagine the response that would follow.
If you followed our account, in search of a super conscious consumer -- you didn't find ya girl. We choose healthier options [low sodium, grass-fed, free range, we can't afford real fur + wouldn't wear it if we could anyways, etc.] for our family but we eat meat + love cheese. 😜 I am an everyday mama, learning to make more intentional decisions for our everyday lives. My understanding of how the hair, beauty, product, and food industry works is growing -- and with that, comes growing out of certain habits. I am doing the work -- researching and reading studies -- and giving myself the freedom to adjust our lifestyle at our OWN pace.
Now, if you're looking for real talk with a side of silly, some cute kids, curly hair tips, kid's fashion, mom chat, life chat, "imma chop the kids in the throat" vents, pep talks, or have OCD + anxiety and need a safe place to talk about it -- i | got | chu. Welcome. 🤗 // #theprinceandthep](http://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/19a9416ac36d14c22fefe32ac9e718a0/5C309C31/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s640x640/40094864_225584694977286_175832276016300032_n.jpg "| Hey New Frans.
