Yesterday, my girlfriends and I gathered around to celebrate our friend Valisha and her husband Trel becoming homeowners! It’s been a while since we’ve gotten together and in honor of the #Phillips1stAnnualDayParty I decided to create some tasty snacks for the group. I debated what to create because knowing my friends, our quick gatherings turn…

On this crazy Journey
Journey will be 8 months soon and I have to admit, this has been one of the more tiring periods of time since she was born. She’s slowly taking the advice of her PawPaw and giving me a dose of my own behavior by talking all the time. Most of the time she’s either saying DaDa or…
A Perfect Ten
As the oldest in a big family with six kids, there was never a dull moment growing up. During the summers, we always found ways to entertain ourselves and, sometimes, anger our parents. Since we’re older, it’s much harder to schedule outings with everyone, so I made my best effort to corral the gang in…
Do You Know What Today Is?
It’s my anniversary and I can truthfully say the last year has flown by. One year ago, the torrential rain ruined my plans for a beautiful outdoor wedding, but couldn’t detract from the beauty of the day itself.

Showered with Love
The last few days have been extremely eventful! Thursday was my 30th birthday, Friday was my baby shower at work and Saturday was my outside of work baby shower. These events offered the boost of energy I needed to propel me into the last month or so of pregnancy. Never in a million years did…
#TBT
Today I’m in a reflective mood which is fitting since today is Thursday, a perfect day for throwbacks from the past. I’m listening to Lauryn Hill’s “To Zion” about her pregnancy experience with her son and I think about my own experience so far…A nervous excitement. I remember the week I found out I might…
A Walk in Paris
This weekend was my Parisian themed bridal shower and it was beyond my wildest dreams! There was so much thought put into every detail from the decor, to the food, to the gifts — I am truly blessed to have such amazing people in my life. I’m so thankful for each person that helped with…
