Congratulations @chloexhalle on being cast as Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid! We are super happy for you and excited to watch this film! As a black woman who has loved Disney since childhood, and who has been planning a Disney vow renewal at sea for months now, this news is #PERFECT ❤🧜🏾‍♀️❤🧜🏾‍♀️ During this week in which America celebrates independence, my husband and I actually spent some time on Independence Day reading many comments on this, and we were quite puzzled and disgusted by the number of people objecting to Disney's choice! Some saying that, in their childhood, Ariel was the only Disney princess they could look up to, and now, it's being taken away from them. Some have gone as far as saying that Disney should stick to the "historical" story. 😂 Historical? She's a mermaid! They don't exist. 😂 Let's just say that reading through those comments has heightened my concern for humankind. Oh, and never mind us brown girls who have loved Disney princess stories anyway even though Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, and Ariel have all been traditionally portrayed as white... my childhood was great 🤷🏾‍♀️ Disney didn't create an animated film with a black princess until my adulthood when Tiana starred in Princess and the Frog. I've been raised to know that I am the daughter of the King ✝️ As one comment said in response, if a black girl playing Ariel messes up your childhood, then the problem isn't with Disney, the problem is with your childhood. Anyway, I am very happy for all the little girls who get to see and hear 🎶 Ariel in the upcoming Disney's The Little Mermaid. Hey, I'm excited for me to see it too! Anyone else excited about seeing the upcoming Disney's The Little Mermaid? ❤🧜🏾‍♀️❤🧜🏾‍♀️ #TheLittleMermaid #DisneysAriel #MyAriel #BlackGirlMagic #CongratulationsHalle #Blessed #MyCruisingFamily #DisneyVowRenewal #CruiseCountdown #WeLoveDisney

Thankful for the experiences with this guy, my husband, Daddy to our boys. Lord knows that this marriage journey and parenting journey is often challenging, but even in fairytales, there are challenges to overcome. We get through challenges together... one day at a time. Thankful to the Father above for blessing us with him 😊 #HappyFathersDay #DanielFamily #DanielBoys #DanielMen #ILoveMyHubby #ILoveMyFamily #MyCruisingFamily

This Throwback Thursday, we have Cuba in mind. Don't get it twisted, with the US government's restrictions announced this week, US citizens can still travel to and from Cuba, but it's just not as convenient as it has been in recent years. We are thankful we visited Cuba in 2017, and we are hopeful we will do so again in the future. We experienced 2 wonderful days exploring and learning in Cuba... from Matanzas to Havana and places in between. #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #Cuba #NCLSky #MyCruisingFamily #CruisingWife #CruisingMom #CruisingChildren #CruisingKids

My Mommy with the two reasons I can be celebrated on Mother's Day 🥰 #HappyMothersDay #CruisingGrandma #ILoveMyFamily #MyCruisingFamily

When you are stalking your upcoming cruise 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Along with watching this countdown, guess what? After my April 2019 post about being excited for a room with an aft view, I stalk room availability so much that we have now moved our booking to a different room, starboard, which has some awesome features I'm excited to see 🤗 Mommy and the boys' room will be steps away from our room, and they have an amazing room as well. I honestly feel like a kid right now with that, "Are we there yet?" kind of anticipation 🥰 Anyone else stalk their cruises or other vacations before they come? #DisneyCruise #DCLNavigator #CruiseCountdown #StalkingMyCruise #AreWeThereYet #Anniversary #AnniversaryCruise #VowRenewal #VowRenewalCruise #MyCruisingFamily

Whether in the USA, Jamaica, Barbados, on a cruiseship out in the middle of the ocean, or anywhere in this world, I love this man! A year ago, we were actually cruising the Caribbean at the time of your birthday, and today, we celebrate your birthday at home. It's been challenging to not be on a Spring Break cruise this year, but with the many trips we enjoyed in 2018, and the ones planned for 2019, we've got to be still right now. So, babe, let's enjoy right where we are. Home is where the heart is ❤ We love you ❤ Haaaaapppppyyyyy Birthdaaaaay!!! #HappyBirthday #LoveMeSomeHim #Husband #Father #Son #FamilyMan #LoveMyHusband #LoveMyFamily #LoveOurFamily #Love #GodIsGood #Blessed #CountdownToVowRenewal #MyCruisingFamily

🎶🎵Memories don't leave like people do🎵 From time to time, we reminisce by looking through photographs that recap the years. The photographs in this post share moments of great joy that we've experienced through our marriage thus far. There have been moments of sadness as we have grieved the passing of loved ones. I say it again, this is no "cookie cutter" marriage, and by God's grace, we are still standing, and we are looking forward to a very personal vow renewal ceremony. 7 months and counting to Vow Renewal Day! #10thWeddingAnniversary #Marriage #Love #ILoveMyFamily #MyCruisingFamily #VowRenewal #VowRenewalAtSea

Happy Valentine's Day! Throwing back to Disney Dream cruising with my love. #ValentinesDay #ThrowbackThursday #TBT #DisneyDream #CastawayCay #Aquaduck #Love #MyCruisingFamily

It's not Throwback Thursday, and it's not Flashback Friday, but on this, the 10th of the month, I throwback/flashback to our wedding day. When Allan says to me, this morning, "8 more months to go," and church service starts out singing "There's nothing my God cannot do," I think of God's great faithfulness! In exactly 8 months from today, Allan and I will celebrate 10 years as husband and wife 🙏🏾💎💍🙌🏾 Thus far, this month, we have shifted our initial anniversary celebration plans, and as we move forward with what seemed like a more challenging plan, the elements of our anniversary celebration have become clearer and clearer, as has God's provision! We are excited! Thank you Jesus! Of course we tend to share photos of our smiling faces, but our day-to-day reality, juggling two energetic sons, our full-time jobs, New York City hustle and bustle, all while wanting to cultivate a stronger relationship with each other, feels beyond challenging at times, and it is truly only by God's great faithfulness that we can celebrate 10 years on 10/10 this year ❤ Anyone else celebrating a major anniversary, planning a vow renewal, wedding, or other major celebration this year? Please share below! We would love to congratulate and virtually celebrate with you! #NoFilter #BeachWedding #DestinationWedding #Wedding #Anniversary #VowRenewal #RenewalOfVows #Celebrate #GodIsFaithful #GreatIsThyFaithfulness #MyCruisingFamily

As the first day of Black History Month 2019 draws to a close, I reminisce on some of the points of interests we have visited in recent months, including a memorial site for Curacao's freedom fighter, Tula, and Anse Caffard which commemorates a slave ship that failed to properly anchor in Martinique. We are a strong and dignified people. Tested through and through. #IAmBlackAndIAmProud
