Centered on Jesus
Welcome to Hope & Giggles 🤭
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” - 1 Peter 1:3 NASB1995
We love Jesus! We want to share our hearts with you, hoping it would draw you closer to Him. We plan to also share some stories, tips, scriptures, and funny moments as we navigate life together.
Who's behind H & G?
“You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” - Psalms 16:11 NASB1995
Hi! Marissa here :) When I turned 30, I decided to create a bucket list called “30 for 30” which is a list of 30 items to accomplish within my 30th year. One of them was to create a personal blog and consistently write. I asked the Lord for a name, and He gave me the word hope. Then, I added giggles because I wanted to laugh more. So, I created this.
You’ll be hearing from my husband, Sergey, and me at different times. Maybe from special guests too. But I’ll be managing the blog the majority of the time.
I was born and raised in Chicago to a Puerto Rican family while my sweet husband was born in Russia (USSR at the time). We come from two completely different families - me being the oldest of 10 while my hubby is the 5th of 15! Can you imagine?! Yet because of Jesus, we met and became a match made in heaven. In 2022, we got married, traveled then two years later, we gave birth to our daughter Emi Love. 💕
We currently live in Florida, exploring what this state has to offer. We are dreamers and travelers at heart with an entrepreneurial spirit. We truly believe that walking with Jesus is an adventure!
What topics do we cover?
“Rejoice always;” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16 NASB1995
Though we will cover a wide range of topics, our main focus will be Jesus, family, travel, and fun.
