My mom and I are up to something! 👀🍵

I’m so excited to be starting this new series with my mom Dr. Keisha B. Spivey! 🤩

We’re learning how to turn what we grow in our garden into delicious herbal teas and ways they can support our overall health and well-being.

There’s so much we want to explore so make sure you’re following along! 🤍🌱

Because why is the whole house still smelling like Taco Tuesday on Thursday? 😭

We all love a good home cooked meal, but nobody wants to go to bed feeling like they’re sleeping inside a fajita! 🌮

Next time you cook, light a Be Light candle to switch up the scent and bring back those relaxing vibes! 🕯️🤍

I know I can't be the only one! 😂 What’s one meal you love cooking but hate how long the smell sticks around?

Maybe it’s because I’m a first-time homebuyer, but I definitely thought this process would move faster! 😭 Between the paperwork, applications, and resending information over and over again🤦🏽‍♀️.

But I’m learning SO much about the programs and resources available to help people build homes in rural communities.

If you’ve ever felt like owning land or building a home was out of reach, don’t give up on it just yet! I can’t wait to share everything I’m learning and how what I once thought was impossible is starting to feel so possible! 🤍🏡

Learn from our mistakes so you don’t have to! 😂🌱

We LOVE taking advantage of the free resources available in our community, but sometimes it comes with a learning curve! 😅

Three attempts later, we finally got it right! 🙌🏽

What’s one mistake you can laugh about now but definitely weren’t laughing about then? 😂 Because let me tell you, we were NOT laughing when that tarp ripped and we had to shovel all that compost off the trailer! 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

Can we take a moment to celebrate the fact that I drove a 16-passenger van pulling a dump trailer ALL BY MYSELF?! 😭😂

A little nervous? Absolutely. But I DID IT with no damages! 👏🏽 Let’s clap for that! 😂

I’m working on something really exciting for next month, and I can’t wait to share it with you all! But first, I had to take advantage of the FREE mulch while the city is still offering it! 🌱

And we won’t talk about how many tries it took me to back that trailer in! 🤣

You never know the difference you’re making. 🥹🤍

One of my favorite moments from this summer was receiving these sweet handwritten cards from the kids sharing what they learned and how much fun they had in our garden. Moments like these mean so much to me!

A huge thank you to for allowing Be Light Gardens to be part of your summer camp and pour into the next generation. 🌱

We love empowering the next generation! 🌱🤍

Thank you to Ripple Effects for allowing us to pour into the youth in our community through your summer camp! From planting seeds to harvesting fresh food, it was such a joy showing these young minds what’s possible when they grow their own food.

A special thank you to the Rocky Mount Telegram for continuing to share our story and highlight the work we’re doing through Be Light Gardens to help fight food insecurity! 🌟

The resourceful and imaginative world of Myia Spivey might have started with tires, but things are getting a whole lot sweeter.
