JURASSIC WORLD DINOSAUR EVENT EXPERIENCE WITH LEVY AND ZOZO

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for being a part of my world.

Last Friday(July 31), I took my kids to a Jurassic World Drive Through Dino event, at Atlanta Motor Speedway and it was amazing. 

My kids love dinosaurs and when I found out about this event, I couldn't resist taking them to experience it. I had never been to a Movie Franchise event like this before. So, when this opportunity came, I couldn't resist it.

During my break hour at work a few days before the event, I purchased the tickets for us and told the kids about it.

Le'Veon loves his Dinos, so he was very excited when I told him about the event. Zo'e was excited as well but I was more interested in seeing Le'Veon's reaction to the Dinos.

When we got there, the arrangement of the Dinos were very well thought out and organized. I liked the display of make-belief Sea World and Land. The sizes of the Dinos and their characters were amazing. 

There was a good number of families there as well. Just like us, they came to experience the show. 

I think the staff and organizers of the show did an awesome job.

So, I pranked Le'Veon and Zo'e at the event. I had one of the workers with a baby Dino in his hand to get it closer to the kids. It was so funny. They thought it was real and started screaming. Their reaction was captured on camera. Make sure to watch the video to experience it with us. Each time we drove closer to a huge Dino, he'd start asking me to take him home lol...

As we came close to the end of our experience, Le'Veon asked if we could stay for a little longer and when I said we couldn't, he was upset.

On the drive home, he said I should take him back so he could experience it again. I told him may be next time but not right at that moment. 

Zo'e was calm and happy with the experience. Although, I was a little worried that her car seat was keeping her from enjoying the experience and seeing the big and small Dinos. It turned out she enjoyed it.

I love giving my kids great experiences and memories. Going to the Dino show, is one I will cherish for a long time. We still have many more adventures to experience and I am excited to think about them.

Thank you for reading my blog today. Please enjoy the pictures and try to attend the show if you haven't already. You will enjoy it.

With gratitude,

ZOE|| MY FASHIONISTA AND STYLE GURU

Hello everyone, thank you so much for stopping by our neck of the woods. I hope you're having a great day and not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life! Today is a beautiful day!

So, my sweet Zo'e loves her fashion and accessories. I'm still in awe as to how Zozo picked it up. I could say from me but I am not too sure about that lol...

I mean, I love my clothes and accessories but I am not obsessed with them. It just makes one thing clear to me. My Zozo is a born fashionista and I love it!

Zo'e is just two and it is amazing to me how much she knows about fashion and likes too. I am okay with that.

A couple of days ago, she wanted her own head tie and a picture with mama, matching our head ties. I thought it was amazing. Oh, have I told you how amazed I am at Zo'e's ability to speak and articulate herself? Well, now you know lol...

These head ties are available in our online store www.maryamsjoyfullifeapparel.com .

I am learning from my two year old how to be a fashionista. 

Life is good and I am grateful to God!

May your life be good and sweet!

OUT TRIP TO ZOO ATLANTA WAS A GOAL FULFILLED

Hello wonderful,amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope y'all are having an amazing day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day.

For a while, I had been planning on taking the kids to Zoo Atlanta. I hadn't been to the Atlanta Zoo myself and I thought it would be great to take t he kids to see the animals.
I just trusted God for the right time to take the kids and that time finally came. While we were in Atlanta for the weekend, we bought out tickets and headed to the Zoo.

We saw the Lions, the Elephant, the Zebra. the Hippo, the Gorillas, Monkeys and some exotic birds. It was a beautiful sight. The kids had fun. While Le'Veon was wanting to leave because he thought that he might have to come face to face with the animals, Zo'e was trying to feed the animals and pet them. It was fun. 
When it came time to leave, we lost our way. Took a while to find the exit but we finally did and I couldn't be happier.

If you haven't been to the Zoo Atlanta yet, I think you should. Take your kids and they will have a blast!

Thank you for  stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing day/evening.

💖

Here's the video of  our time at the zoo. Please watch:

I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT AND I FEEL GREAT!!

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope y'all are having a blast and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life! Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for joining me.

I have been through the fire and out. I didn't just come out, I came out dripping chocolate lol...
I glorify my Heavenly Father for always caring for me and guiding me. God is faithful and I bestow all glory and honor to Him alone.

 My kids and I are enjoying life more than ever because God is faithful!

I was trying to gain weight for a while. I had lost a lot of weight because I had stopped eating in the middle of the storm.To eat was hard work for me. Prayer, meditation and affirmations were my food. I was in a place of complete focus on God and His saving power, food was not an option for me. I knew and know that Only God can transform a difficult situation. Well, not only did God transform mine, He restored my joy and enjoyment of food.

I have gained weight now and I really love looking at my round full face in the mirror. I look into my eyes and smile to myself. I love what I see.

Has God ever brought you out of a very difficult season? Or are you currently going through a difficult season? Trust in God. Don't rely on anyone or thing. Let God be your absolute focus and be grateful for God's goodness and you will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

Thank you all for being amazing. May God bless you immensely in Jesus Name. Amen!

See you later,
Maryam
