MY SWEET, AMAZING APPLE PIE RECIPE

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having an amazing day today and not allowing anybody steal your joyyyyy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day and I've been doing A WHOLE LOTTA IMAGING!

I have been doing a lot of studying about why I think the way I think and how that related to the kind of results I'm getting from life. I must tell you that it's been both eye-opening and mind-blowing. Life doesn't have to be very complicated. But see, I didn't know that. I know that my Bible tells me that God is a god of principles but I didn't know that getting money or achieving great feats also have principles behind them apart from working really hard. I mean, I sort of knew but ONLY very little about it. Well, not anymore. I know now that the universe is controlled and governed by principles set by God. Understanding these principles and how to apply them will give me access to WHATEVER I desire in life.

Matthew 7:7 states that "Ask and it shall be given..." is true. It shouldn't be complicated. It didn't place any limit to how much you can ask. So, I have been asking for BIG THINGS.

The Bible says "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." I am learning to control my mind and reject what I don't want more than ever before because I've got to "guard my heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life." This is from Proverbs. Anyways, I'll just leave you with this: Whatever you want out of life, don't think about reasons why you CAN'T get it, just fix your eyes on it and start acting the way you would as though you already had it. Yes, I'm disciplining myself to do more of that. Let's be GREAT TOGETHER, sweet people! This was supposed to be a recipe post. Sorry, I had to share some sweet life recipes first. Here is the original recipe I had imaged and wanted to share with you.

MY APPLE PIE RECIPE 

You need 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, an egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of olive oil, a cup of apple pie filling, 1/3 cup of water, half a cup of brown sugar, 3 whole apples and a baking pan. Get your oven preheated at 350 degrees.

Here are pictures to show you:

Chop the apples:

Flour, salt, egg, water and olive oil:

Mix flour, egg, water, salt and olive oil together. Use your hand to combine together. Do it right, it looks like this:

Roll dough on a cutting board with a pin:

It should look like this:

Place it in a pan that was greased up:

Now let's move on to the next. Cooking the chopped apple in water and brown sugar:

Cook the apple for about 10 mins. Then pour content into the pan:

Take some another egg. Beat it and get a brush and brush the top of the crust. Then take the other rolled out dough and place on the top of the filling.

Cut off the excess dough. Like the picture above.

Take your sweet pie and place in the oven:

45 mins later, here's your delicious apple pie!

From the heart of a home-cook, to your homes; My sweet, amazing pie!


ENJOY!

I'll see you next time.
Don't stop dreaming BIG!
LOVE,

HEY MOMMAS|| IT'S REVIEW TIME|| GHOSTBED LUXURY SHEETS

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely mommas. How are you all doing today? I hope you all are having a great day today.

Since I became a mom, I find it exciting to share products that I love with other mommas. It's so funny because I didn't think I would be like this 🙂, turning  a simple product suggestion into a full on conversation about motherhood and babies. Oh boy, what motherhood can do to you is both beautiful and amazing.

Well, on my list of recommendation today is  GhostBed Luxury Sheets; they are a keeper and highly recommended on my list this time. They are made in America, with great quality materials. Each GhostBed Luxury Sheet set includes: A unique and luxurious blend of Supima Cotton and Tencel Fibers Ghost Grip, so your fitted sheet will stay on securely and never pop off! They also offer Free Shipping and Industry leading 3 year warranty. Who doesn't love a great warranty?! I sure do 😀.
I love how soft and silky smoothe they feel on my skin.

Here's a video review I made. In this video, you get to see the unboxing and use of it. I hope you enjoy!

I have made it easy for you to check out GhostBed Luxury Sheets and you do so by clicking the highlighted name: GhostBed Luxury Sheets.

I rate GhostBed Luxury Sheets a 5/5 stars. It's truly a high qualityproduct and I'm enjoying sleeping on it. The only thing I am skeptical about is the name of the sheets, lol 😀

Well, this brings me to the end of this review post. Thank you for stopping by today.

I hope and pray you have the best day yet!

Cheers,

I CAN FEEL MY BODY IS GETTING READY FOR A BABY

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. I would like to welcome you into the month of March. May this month bring you a lot of love, joy, peace and financial prosperity in Jesus Name! Amen!!

Yesterday( Feb. 28, 2018) was a great day. I had the privilege of serving the homeless at A Higher Calling, Inc., Griffin, GA. We served some freshly cooked breakfast and they were so thankful for it.
I'll be adding a few pictures to this post. Anyways, I also wanted to say that I can feel my body. It's telling me to take it easy because my baby is close. I love my work in the community but I also want to be wise with how I handle my body. Thank God for my friend; Bernita, who came to help me. I didn't realize how tired I was until I picked up a couple of gallons of juice and I could tell that I've reached a point where I need to take a break.
I may organize one more event in this month of March and take a break afterwards till my sweet baby is born. Just make sure to follow me on my various platforms to keep up with me.
Thank you to everyone who support my nonprofit: DREAM BIG CORP. May the Lord bless and meet you at every point of your needs in Jesus Name!

To see more pictures, go to our Facebook page: Facebook.com/dreambigcorp.
Here's a video from the event. Enjoy!

HOW PINK BLUSH MATERNITY IS HELPING ME STYLE MY BUMP

Hi guys. You must be thinking that something is up😳 because this is my second post today. LOL... you're right 😀😀. Apart from the fact that God has been so good to me and my family, I'm also trying to get back into regular blogging as I am with my vlogging on YouTube: Maryam's Joyful Life.
I thought about my readers the whole time I was MIA. I will try to keep the posts going because I've got a whole lotta goodies to share about my time away with you all. All I can say is that God has changed my life!

Oh right! This is supposed to be a post about my love for Shop Pink Blush Maternity. Prior to learning about them and being Pink Blush Style Ambassador, I didn't think that it was possible for me to find stylish maternity clothes that look and fit great. I'm loving it and I can't wait to rock my clothes after my sweet baby is born. That's another plus. Many maternity clothes won't fit or look good after your baby is born because of the weight loss after pregnancy but not Shop Pink Blush Maternity. Their clothes have a beautiful stretch to them that make it easy to rewear after the sweet baby is born.
Here are my most recent deliveries and links to purchase them:

Black Gold Sequin Embellished Chiffon Maternity Dress

                                                           I'm 6'2, wearing Size XL.

I love this Gold embellished maternity dress. I will plan a date night where I wear it for my sweet man.

Burgundy Lace Off Shoulder Fitted Maternity Dress

I love this dress! If you love it like me, please click the highlighted name link to get yours. I got this in Size XL.

Plum Solid Short Sleeve Ruched Maternity Dress

This plum t-shirt dress got me feeling bright. I got a ton of compliments from friends for this dress. I got this in a Size XL. Although I feel like I would've pulled off the L. Welps, my belly is growing and I'm in my last trimester. This gives me clothes security for as my belly doubles in size within the next few weeks, this dress will have room to contain it 😀😀😀.

Thanks for reading this to the end and sticking with me. 

Until next time.

XOXO
