Hi, my name is Chelvana. The idea of blogging came to me while finishing up my Masters Degree in 2020. At that time, we were a few months into the pandemic, my kids were home attending school virtually, I was working full time from home and finishing my degree. Needless to say, I was definitely a busy mom! My husband and I have two kids ages 13 and 7. We live in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I love curling up in my oversized chair watching a random Netflix show or reading a book. But most of all I love naps! Naps are a rare occurrence when you have work, basketball and volleyball practice, dance and piano lessons in addition to the normal duties of keeping my home in order. So any chance I get to close my eyes, is a win in my book. Aside for that, I love to travel. I’ve been to Mexico, The Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and The Bahamas. We have been fortunate enough to take our kids on vacations at an early age so they love traveling as well. I love food. Trying out a new restaurant is one of my favorite past times. When I am feeling adventurous, I will a try a new recipe in the kitchen. But I am far from a chef! My friends laugh at me when I say that I cook for survival, not for fun!
I love serving my community. Whether it’s donating my time at a local community event or mentoring my youth group, I am here for it. Even in my hectic and overwhelming days, I believe that I was put on this earth for a reason. Taking some time out of my day to help others brings joy to my heart and soul.
I’m excited about having you follow me along this journey. Know that you are amazing, beautiful and worthy! I appreciate your support as readers.
