Cook Cry Pray Repeat

MAMAS… WHAT’S YOUR NIGHT CAP?
And no, I’m not talking about alcohol. 😂 I’m talking about that little routine you do at the end of the day that tells your mind and body, “It’s time to rest.”
Postpartum can be beautiful, but those newborn days can also mean feeding, changing diapers, rocking babies, trying to remember when YOU last ate, and functioning on broken sleep. 😩
Sometimes we get so focused on taking care of the baby that we forget that Mama needs care too.
Your night cap might look like:
A warm caffeine-free tea
Reading a few pages
Prayer and quiet time
Journaling
🚿 A warm shower
Putting the phone down
💡 Dimming the lights
Or simply getting in the bed when you finally have the opportunity!
And during those early postpartum weeks, remember that you don't have to constantly entertain your newborn. Simple things like skin-to-skin, talking and singing, supervised tummy time, cuddling, and allowing yourself to REST are meaningful too.
Rest is productive during postpartum. Your body is recovering while you're learning an entirely new rhythm of life.
MOMS, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:
What is YOUR night cap before bed that helps you relax or sleep better?
And if you’re currently in your newborn/postpartum season, what has helped you the most?

The Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. way isn’t just about what happens inside the house!
Today, my workout looks a little different… I’m putting in WORK on the farm! 🐓🌱🚜
Health isn’t only about going to the gym. It’s about moving your body, getting outside, working with your hands, growing your food, caring for what you’ve been blessed with, and staying ACTIVE.
And most importantly, our children are watching us. 👀❤️
We can tell them to get outside, be active, eat better, work hard, and take care of themselves—but sometimes the greatest lesson is simply letting them see us do it.
That’s part of the Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. lifestyle:
🥕 Cook food that nourishes you.
😭 Cry when you need to.
🙏🏾 Pray through every season.
💪🏾 MOVE your body.
🌱 Grow something.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And be the example you want your children to follow.
Today the farm IS the gym! 😂💪🏾🌱

THE BLOOPERS ARE BLOOPERING!
Listen… nobody said stepping into the podcast world was going to be perfect! 😂 Between the laughs, the mess-ups, starting over, and those “WAIT…what did I just say?!” moments, we definitely had some fun behind the scenes.
But that's what Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. is all about—REAL LIFE, real conversations, and everything in between. 🤎
🎤 NEW INTERVIEW DROPS THURSDAY!
I sat down with Rebekah of 31 Proverbs for a conversation about their journey, how they got started, what they're building, and WHAT'S NEXT! 👀🎶
Until then… enjoy a little behind-the-scenes foolishness. 😂😂
Thursday. Rebekah. 31 Proverbs. Don't miss it! 🎙️🤎

Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. has officially stepped into the podcast world with Loveshewrote.
I’m truly loving this chapter of the journey because Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. was never meant to live only on the pages of a book.
So much of my book is about real life—the cooking, the crying, the praying, the motherhood, the marriage, the lessons, the mistakes, the healing, the laughter, and those moments when you simply have to get up and repeat.
Now, I get to bring some of those same conversations to life through the podcast. 🎙️ not only with a great writer but with my sister.
We get to sit across from business owners, creators, artists, authors, and everyday people and give them the space to tell their story in their own words.
And that’s what I love most about this chapter.
There’s something powerful about realizing that everybody has a story. Some stories are written on pages. Some are told through music, food, art, business, motherhood, creativity, faith, struggle, or simply surviving something you thought would break you.
I also get to share more of my own story and the things you’ll find inside Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. not just telling you about the book, but allowing you to see the heart, experiences, recipes, lessons, and conversations behind it.
No overly polished conversations.
No pretending everything has been perfect.
Just real people, real journeys, real lessons, and real conversations.
This is a new chapter for Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat., and I’m excited to see where the Most High allows it to go. 🤎
We’re just getting started.
🎙️ Stay tuned for the stories, the laughs, the lessons, the food, the tears, the creativity—and plenty of Cook. Cry. Pray. Repeat. moments along the way.

Day in My Life 🌿
Wife. Mom. Farmer. Teacher. Business owner. Student. Dreamer. 💛
Some days I’m teaching the kids, tending to the farm, cooking from scratch, filling orders, working on my business, studying for my degree, planning for the future—and still making sure my family is taken care of.
It’s not always picture-perfect, but every busy day is building toward something bigger. 🌱 I’m creating, learning, serving, and planting seeds that I pray will bless generations after me.
Come spend a day with me… because around here, you never know what we’re getting into next! 😂🙌🏾
