I’m sure many would say I was definitely trippin having 12 children. The truth is they are such a blessing to me. Im still in awe that the Lord intrusted me with 12 beautiful gifts that I get to unwrap every day. It is definitely an emotional roller coaster watching them grow right before my eyes. I hug them as much as I can to savior the moment because they are literally growing up so fast. I know raising 12 children requires a lot of care and attention, I am here for it all🥰🥰🥰. The Lord has been gracious to me and my husband by showing us what true Love is. That is laying down your life for your friend. I’ve learned that the will that God had for me comes with everything I need. Soooooo I wasn’t trippin trusting the Lord with blessing me with 12 amazing children. ☺️🙌🏾 💙💙💙💜💙💜 💜💙💙💙💜💜 #momof12 #family #dance #fun #trippin #tripout #bigfamily #familyof14

I love how protective our girls are with their brothers. I definitely don’t play about my young kings. All seven of them👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 #brotherskeeper #Siblings #fyp #viral #mufasa #lionking

This trend reminds me of when my mom used to touch my siblings and I feet and was able to say who it was. I enjoyed this challenge ☺️ #family #fun #momof12 #guesswho #challenge

It was such a pleasure having my dad visit us in California from NY. My children enjoyed their Lelo. We had him working out but he appreciated it. We love you popz and you still got it.@jorgeavellanet #grandpa #family #fun #fyp #viral

If you don’t leave your past in the past, it will destroy your future. Live for what today has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away. #dance #family #Love #momandchildern

Happy Birthday to my best friend, my amazing husband, the father to 12 of my children @Stormthemovement . 🥳👑🌹 Thirty-great looks good on you papi😍😍 You have grown so much this year spiritually, mentally,and emotionally. I adore the person you are today. Who you are today exceeded my expectation of whom you become. Your patience with our children and with people is admirable and Im so grateful I’m able to lean on you to get understanding. Your love for the Lord is so inspiring and watching how you allow him full access in your life has brought tears of joy. This is the first birthday we’ve spent apart from each other and it’s definitely not ideal or comfortable for me but I am so proud you are spending your birthday in Paris France 🇫🇷 doing what you love, dancing.

Shabbat is the day we let go of the illusion that we are in coutrol. #family #dayofrest #rest #dance #momof12 #shabbatshalom #shalom #shabbat

Many people have asked how we practice the dances I share and this is how. I learn the dances first or create them, then I teach it to my children. After learning it collectively they dance it two at a time then they battle each other. We then dance together one last time and the next day we record. I love that my children like to dance together and hype each other up. Great memories are being created and it will carry on with them. #family #momof12 #mychildren #fun #Love #creatingmemories #practice #rehearsal

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. #momof12 #family #fun #qualitytime

No it isn’t our Anniversary but we love celebrating our union everyday. Making time for our marriage is 1st priority to us. It took a while for us to get in the rhythm of things but we finally got it. Naturally when you start having children you give all the attention to them. I was so consumed with loving on them and seeing life through their eyes my husband and I didn’t spend much one on one time together. It wasn’t till we moved to California we realized we haven’t been going on dates. My husband then made it his business to take me out everyday when I was pregnant with Hope. Now we go on walks,dance, go to the gym, on dates and have many deep talks that edifys our spirit. It was definitely rough in the beginning of our marriage. Im so grateful for the word of God in which shaped us and guided us. We are now best friends and I loe him down☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 #marriage #blacklove #rotimi @rotimi #newdancechallenge #mrandmrs #Love #dance #fun
