Before we officially pack up spooky season, we HAVE to give Mama, Manita P Epps, her flowers for these custom pumpkin carvings! 🎃🔪✨

The kids placed some very specific custom orders this year, and Mama delivered:
🦇 For Charles: A spooky bat & stars pumpkin (matching his bat treat bag energy!)
🦄 For Mackenzie: A magical unicorn pumpkin (because pink tulle and unicorns are a lifestyle at this point 💕)

Clearly the artistic genes run strong in this house! 👏🔥

Show Mama some love in the comments—which carving takes the crown: Charles’s Bat & Stars 🦇🌟 or Mackenzie’s Unicorn 🦄🎃?! 👇

Fair Lights & Country Nights! 🎡🍿🍁 Yesterday we packed up and headed over to the Dinwiddie County Fair, and oh my goodness, we had the ABSOLUTE best time!

There is really nothing quite like that fall fair energy. We spent the day running into family, catching up with friends, and letting the kids go wild on the rides. (Pretty sure they are still recovering from their funnel cake high today! 🍭😂)

But honestly, the absolute highlight of the day? Dada and the kids' godfather deciding they just had to ride the Round Up. Y’all, they were screaming, laughing, and holding on for dear life like they were 15-year-old teenagers again! 😭💀 Seeing them act like total kids was worth the price of admission alone.

The kids rode a few rides, the food was legendary, and our hearts are still so full today. Feeling so grateful for these chaotic, joyful, beautiful community days with the ones we love. Until next year, Dinwiddie! 👋🏼✨

They say the days are long, but the years are short—and looking back at this summer, I feel that more than ever. 🥺☀️

I finally sat down to organize my camera roll, and I am just feeling so overwhelmingly grateful. Watching Charles and Mackenzie blossom this season has been the absolute greatest gift. We started the kids at KidStrong, and seeing their confidence, strength, and endless energy explode in those classes has been amazing to witness. They are growing up right before our eyes!

We made the most of our time at home, squeezing in unforgettable family days pointing out our favorite animals at the Metro Richmond Zoo and spending hours exploring, playing, and learning at the Children's Museum of Richmond. 🦒🎨

We also traded our daily routine for sandy toes and ocean breezes down in Bethany Beach, making the best core memories with our UVA besties. There is something incredibly special about watching your children grow up alongside the friends you grew up with. 🧡💙

But honestly? Some of my favorite moments were the simplest ones. Our Sunday traditions: melting Dairy Queen cones, sticky hands, and uncontrollable giggles in the backseat on the way home. 🍦

What a truly blessed summer it has been. Spending these long, sun-drenched days together and having a front-row seat to our kids’ childhood is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. I wouldn’t trade a single chaotic, beautiful second of it.

🎒✨ Cue the happy tears and the biggest smiles... Charles is OFFICIALLY a Kindergartner! ✨🍎

It feels like just yesterday we were wrapping up Junior Kindergarten, and now we are sending our boy off for the real deal. He is completely in his element today and so proud to be rocking his new Shark Blueprint Glow-In-The-Dark backpack and his matching School of Sharks lunch box. 🦈💙

We can already picture all the amazing new things he is going to learn and the sweet new friends he is about to make. Watching him grow has been our greatest joy, and this next big chapter is going to be so special.

To our wonderful village of family and friends who know the power of prayer: if you have a moment today, please whisper a little prayer for Charles. 🙏 We are hoping and praying for a safe, joyful, and truly prosperous school year as he steps into this big new world.

Here’s to Kindergarten! Let the adventure begin! ✏️🚌💛

A day late for , but sharing one of the wildest, most mind-blowing parts of our story... 🤍✨

Swipe to see the exact moment science met a miracle. 🧬➡️👶🏽👶🏽

What blows our minds every single day is that both of our children were created during the exact same IVF cycle. Same batch, same moment in time, frozen in hope—just brought into the world 2 years and 7 months apart. Looking at them now, it’s wild to think they technically started their earthly journeys on the very same day. 💙🩷

Before we ever held them in our arms, God held them in His hands. He gave science the wisdom, technology the capability, and then released each of our babies to us in His perfect, intentional timing.

Science was the tool. God was the author. And these two are our living, breathing proof that miracles happen in His time, not ours. 🙏🏽✨

To every family currently walking the IVF path—praying over embryo updates, waiting on transfers, and trusting the timing—we see you, we’re holding space for you, and your story is still being written. 🌾🤍

The absolute blueprint. 👑

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads out there holding it down, showing up, and building a legacy of love every single day. The world is a better place because of you.

But today, our biggest, loudest shoutout goes to the heart, soul, and anchor of this family: Rowshaun Epps.

From the late-night comfort talks to the chaotic playground runs, and every beautiful, everyday moment in between—you do it all with so much patience, grace, and strength. Watching you guide, protect, and pour into our little ones is the greatest gift. You aren't just raising them; you are showing them exactly what unconditional love, integrity, and faith look like in action.

Thank you for being our rock, our biggest supporter, and the absolute best dad we could ever ask for. We love you to the moon and back! 🤍✨

FREEDOM IS OUR LEGACY. COMMUNITY IS OUR STRENGTH. ✨✊🏾❤️🌏

This Juneteenth, Raisin' Blasians is celebrating the beautiful, powerful, and complex tapestry of our freedom. It's more than just a date on a calendar; it's a commitment to honor our ancestors' resilience, acknowledge our history, and keep building a future where everyone is truly free.

From the cookouts to the quiet reflections, from the shared laughter to the continued fight for justice, we carry the torch of our multi-ethnic heritage. We are the joy, the resistance, and the promise of tomorrow.

Let's use this day to not only celebrate, but also to listen, learn, and lift each other up. How are you honoring freedom and community today? Share your Juneteenth moments and reflections in the comments! 🗣️🔥

"Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual, and cannot be infringed by the State." – Chief Justice Earl Warren, Loving v. Virginia (1967) ✨

We celebrate today, and every day, for the right to love each other out loud. This simple freedom, which was denied to many before us, is something we hold with so much reverence. It’s not just a date on the calendar; it’s the legal foundation that allows our family to exist. We honor the Lovings' courageous 9-year fight that changed the course of history and paved the way for us. 💕💍

We decided to celebrate a day early this year by sneaking away for a kids-free lunch date yesterday! 🤫 We had an amazing time at Fogo de Chão, enjoying some grown-up conversation, delicious food, and just being us. A rare and beautiful treat! 🥰

As an in*******al family, we are a living testament to the victory of love. Our Blasian family is a beautiful blend of cultures, and we are so proud of the unique mosaic that makes us US. Every laugh, every moment, every “Raisin' Blasian" kid is a celebration of the freedom that started with one brave couple. 🩵🩷
