The Life of Vi

By Violet Elaine Thomas

Welcome!

May 9, 2020 · About

Hey y’all! Wow! I can’t believe I am actually writing this. Starting a lifestyle blog has been on my mind for YEARS, but I always found a reason to push it aside. I’ve felt so much doubt and fear that I would just be “another blogger” that nobody would tune in to. I knew that if I truly wanted to get started, I needed something that would set me apart from all of the other bloggers out there, but I just didn’t know what that would be.

After praying about this long and hard, I came to the realization that there is only one thing that can make me stand out amongst other bloggers – Being ME! To heck what other people think! Worrying about what people will think of me, or my blog, is a burden I don’t need to carry. My best friend recently told me, “Whether people read it or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you enjoy what you’re doing and believe that it has importance.” No words have ever resonated with me quit like those have.

I truly believe that my God spent His time crafting me into the woman He wanted me to be. He made me unique in His own design. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” It’s time that I embrace all of the traits that God crafted to make me special.

So here goes nothing…

Welcome to my blog. I’m so glad you’re here. As a first time mama, a military wife, and a nursing student, I’m going through some challenging changes. Writing is an outlet for me during tough times, so I figured there is no better time to start than now, especially with all of this free time. (Thank you COVID-19) I hope that this can be a safe space for everyone to enjoy and find comfort. I’m just here to share the love I have for Jesus, my family, and the things that make me happy. Thanks for tagging along this journey with me. I love y’all!

Xoxo, Vi

About Me

Hey y'all! I'm so glad you're here. I'm 22 years old, an army wife to Chase, a mama to Henry Duke, and a child of God. I'm Alabama raised, Kansas based, and Georgia bound. I'm a level 3 nursing student and will graduate with my BSN in May of 2021 with hopes of becoming an L&D nurse. I'm stoked to show you my love for family, faith, and fashion. I can't wait to see where this road leads to. Thanks so much for stopping by and showing some love! It's greatly appreciated.
Xoxo, Vi ♡

When I met this little boy a year ago, I had no idea how much fun we would have or the bond that we would build. Being his mama is easily the greatest thing I’ve ever done and I can’t believe it’s already been 365 days since he was born. I would give anything to turn back the clock and do it all over again. Here’s to the rest of our lives baby boy. We love you to the moon and back, HD 🤍

it’s insane how much a woman’s body goes through to grow a baby. I’m still so dang proud of mine for adjusting to all stages of motherhood. from making room for HD to providing breastmilk, it’s been the wildest 18 months of my life 🤍
