My family means everything to me. Every decision I make, every goal I chase, and every dream I build is rooted in one thing—my desire to love, protect, and provide for my wife and kids. They are my heartbeat, my purpose, and my daily reminder of God’s goodness. I constantly think about how I can better myself to be the man they need—the father and husband they deserve. I would do anything for them. But I’ve also come to realize that family doesn’t end with blood. God places people in our lives—brothers and sisters in Christ—who become part of our spiritual family. My men’s group has been exactly that for me. These guys have helped shape me with their wisdom, love, and support. Though we may not share a last name, they are my brothers, and I wouldn’t be who I am today without them. Shout out to Foxhole 6!

Fashion for us means more than just wearing cool clothes and following trends, it's expressing ourselves and picking clothes that make us feel happy and confident. My sister and I used to match clothes all the time but as we are getting older we love showing our different personalities through fashion. It's fun to be unique and we love standing out even more than following the newest trends. We love fashion!

A LOVE THAT REFLECTS HEAVEN

When the world talks about marriage these days, it often sounds more like a hobby than a holy calling. It’s treated like something you try until it no longer feels convenient—something you stick with when it’s fun and toss aside when it’s not. But then there are couples who decide to write a different kind of story. One where the foundation isn’t based on trends or temporary feelings, but on something deeper, something unshakable. A Godly marriage.
Building that kind of marriage today feels like swimming against the current. It means choosing covenant over comfort,
sacrifice over self, and Christ over convenience. It means showing up for each other not just when it’s easy but especially when it’s not. This kind of love isn’t polished for Instagram or perfectly packaged for the world to applaud. It’s the kind of love that’s gritty, full of grace, soaked in prayer, and sometimes held together by sheer determination in the middle of the mess. It’s laughter during the chaos, whispered prayers over sleepy kids, and hugs that say “I’m still here” even when words fail.
Building that kind of marriage today feels like swimming against the current.
But the truth is, none of that happens by accident. Keeping Christ at the center isn’t something that magically falls into place—it’s intentional. Without that, He quickly becomes a weekend visitor instead of the heartbeat of the home. The real work doesn’t happen on Sunday mornings. It happens on Tuesday afternoons when the stress is high, the dishes are piled up, and the temptation to withdraw feels easier than leaning in. It happens in the middle of disagreements, when pride could so easily take the lead but humility whispers, “Pause. Pray first.”
And the battles? Oh, they come. But they don’t always show up with loud fights or dramatic moments. Often, they sneak in quietly, through distractions, through slow drifting, through that silent disconnect that creeps in when life gets busy and
communication slips into autopilot. It’s the little foxes that ruin the vineyard—the unspoken hurts, the unchecked busyness, the slow fade away from emotional connection. That’s why the fight isn’t just against problems—it’s for connection. It’s for staying close, even when everything else tries to pull you apart.
Intimacy in a marriage like this isn’t just about physical closeness. It’s about being fully known and fully loved—without the masks, the filters, or the fear. It’s found in the kind of conversations where you don’t just ask, “How was your day?” but you lean in and ask, “How’s your heart?” It’s found in the brave choice to speak life into each other, to pray even when it feels awkward, and to be present even when you’re exhausted.
Conflict? Oh, it comes. But when it does, there’s a sacred decision to be made. Will we fight like enemies? Or will we remember that we are actually teammates? The easy route is to react—to fire off words, to shut down, to let anger win. But a God-centered marriage pauses. It breathes. It listens. It doesn’t let the heat of the moment set the house on fire. Instead, it lets humility lead the way. And when needed, there’s space to step back—but never space to stay divided. Because at the end of the day, unity is always the win.
Forgiveness isn’t a side note in this story—it’s the glue. A strong marriage is simply a union of two good forgivers. Because if there’s one guarantee in marriage, it’s that you will hurt each other. You will disappoint each other. But forgiveness… forgiveness is how you choose freedom over bitterness. And when trust is broken, forgiveness cracks the door back open—but rust is the one that walks in, slowly but surely, with time, with repentance, with consistency.
Forgiveness isn’t a side note in this story—it’s the glue.
For many couples, the topic of submission and leadership has been misunderstood, misused, and misrepresented. But in a Godly marriage, it’s not about power or control—it’s about a rhythm of mutual honor. Submission isn’t silence, and leadership isn’t dominance. It’s her choosing to trust, not because she’s lesser, but because she knows she’s loved. It’s him leading, not with ego, but by laying his life down the way Christ did for the Church. Sometimes she carries the wisdom needed. Other times, he leads the charge. But always, always—they’re both submitted to Christ first.
And prayer? It’s not some perfectly polished ritual. It starts right where you are—in the car, in the kitchen, before bed, in the middle of chaos. It’s messy. Sometimes it’s mumbled. Sometimes it’s thirty seconds long. But those thirty seconds? They change the atmosphere. They remind both hearts that God is near, that they’re not doing this alone, and that even when words are hard, He hears.
Money, too, has its way of creeping into marriages as a source of tension. But when couples remember that it’s not their money, it’s God’s, everything shifts. It’s about giving to

giving to Him first, stewarding the rest with purpose, and remembering that financial decisions are about unity, not control. When disagreements come, it’s not a fight for who’s right, but a prayerful pursuit of what’s best—together.
And as for keeping the spark alive? Let’s just be honest—when you were dating, you thought planning date nights was silly. Why would something so fun need to be scheduled? But then came life. Jobs. Kids. Stress. And suddenly you realize—if you don’t plan for it, it doesn’t happen. So date nights become sacred, whether they’re fancy dinners or takeout on the couch after the kids are asleep. And
once a year? A getaway. Just the two of you. Something to look forward to, to recharge, to remember that beyond being parents, workers, and everything else—you’re still two people deeply in love.
And for the many families walking the beautiful, complex path of blending—there’s a different kind of grace required. Blending isn’t easy. It’s layered with past hurts, shifting loyalties, and complicated emotions. But oh, how beautiful it can be. Love doesn’t divide—it multiplies. Every child deserves to feel seen, secure, and celebrated. And that takes time. It takes conversations that are sometimes hard and grace that never seems to run out.
Every child deserves to feel seen, secure, and celebrated.
Jealousy and rivalry don’t have to win when a family chooses intentionality. Kids thrive when they are covered, not compared. And when it comes to co-parenting with ex-spouses, the path forward is clear but hard—boundaries laced with honor. Humility that chooses peace over pettiness. Processing hurts in safe places, not in front of little ears.
Discipline becomes a dance of unity behind closed doors. Parents may disagree—that’s real life. But what happens in public matters. Division seen by children breaks trust, while unity—even in the tension—builds it. It’s not about pretending to agree on everything but about committing to handle differences in ways that honor both the marriage and the kids.
And if there’s one truth every blended family should hold onto, it’s this: unity doesn’t erase the past. It builds on it. It’s about creating new traditions, new memories, and a shared story that honors where everyone came from while celebrating where they’re all going together.
At the end of the day, whether you’re building a marriage, a family, or blending two into one, it all comes down to this: God’s design still works. It’s not easy. It’s not perfect. But it’s worth it. A family rooted in faith—one that chooses grace over grudge, presence over perfection, and commitment over convenience—will always stand taller, shine brighter, and leave a legacy that nothing in this world can shake.
11 KIDS (and One More on the Way!) Who Do Everything Together
There’s a house filled with love, laughter, and more than a dozen pairs of tiny feet. In this home, mornings begin with hugs, chores are done side by side, and everyone eats around the same table. It’s not your everyday family—it’s a big, beautiful one with 11 children, all raised with the same mission: to love God, love each other, and live every day with purpose.
From the moment you walk into their home, you can feel it—the closeness, the kindness, and the rhythm of a family that truly enjoys being together. “We put God first,” the mom says with a warm smile. “And then we prioritize each other.”
They start their mornings picking up the house, helping each other get dressed, and folding laundry while laughter fills the rooms. After breakfast, everyone sits down for Bible time. Even the littlest ones listen closely. “Reading God’s Word together makes us strong,” their mom says. “We work hard, we play hard, and we always do it together.”
“We work hard, we play hard, and we ways do togher.”
Homeschooling helps them stay close. So does the fact that they take everyone everywhere. Grocery runs, family trips, errands—you’ll see them as a team, hand in hand, giggling, helping, and looking out for one another. The girls love holding the babies, sometimes a little too much. “We have to make rules about who gets to hold the baby and when,” their mom laughs. “They spoil the little ones during tantrums!”
Their love for each other isn’t just cute—it’s powerful. One day, the mom took just two of her sons on a trip. “It was fun,” they told her, “but it’s not the same without the rest.”
That’s how strong their bond is. Whether it’s traveling or going to basketball practice, they miss each other when they’re apart.
At night, after gym time with Dad and a home-cooked dinner, they all wind down together, maybe with a little TV or storytelling. Then it’s off to bed, only to start another joyful day side by side.
You might wonder—how does their mom stay organized with so many kids? She’ll be the first to tell you: she doesn’t! “I clean one room, and thirty minutes later it looks like I never touched it,” she jokes. But the family has a secret weapon: “family pick-up time.” Before lunch, before dinner, before heading outside—they all team up to tidy up. “More hands make light work,” she says.
One of the most special things about this family is their faith. It’s not just something they talk about; it’s something they live. They read the Bible every day. They play worship music in the car and at home. They worship together. They feed the homeless every month. “God isn’t a small part of our life—He’s the center of it,” their mom explains. “Even our everyday conversations include Him.”
They’ve also become well-known on social media, with thousands of people watching their journey. But they didn’t plan it that way. “It was all God,” their mom says. “I started sharing what He was teaching me, even when only two people liked my posts.” Over time, that number grew. “I didn’t know anything about algorithms,” she adds. “But I shared what was in my heart, and He did the rest.”
“B I shared wh w in my heart, and He did e rt.”
Of course, life in the spotlight isn’t always easy. “The best part is the community. The worst part? The haters,” she admits. They’ve even received harsh comments and false reports, but the family stands strong. “We bless those who curse us, just like the Bible says. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.”
One of the hardest moments came when their original Instagram account—with 1.6 million followers—was hacked and deleted. “We lost years of memories and resources,” their mom shares. “But I never did it for money. I’m here to serve the Lord, no matter what.”
Even though their kids love being on camera, social media is a small part of their day. “Most of our videos take less than five minutes to film,” she explains. “And if I get paid, they get paid.” The kids don’t have their own social media accounts yet, but they’re already pretending to film videos with fake phones. “It’s the world we live in,” she says. “So we’re teaching them early how to do it wisely.”
“ e bt part e cmuny e worst part?
If this family could leave one message behind, one lasting legacy, it wouldn’t be about fame, followers, or even having a eleven kids. “I hope we’re remembered as a family that loved God with all our heart,” their mom says. “That we obeyed Him, no matter the cost. That we lived in joy, in faith, and in love.”
And to anyone wondering if a big, busy life can still be peaceful and full of purpose? This family is living proof that with God at the center, anything is possible.
When Mila Hoffman walked away from her corporate career in 2012, it wasn’t just a career shift—it was a leap of faith fueled by passion, creativity, and a deep desire to create something meaningful. Mila wasn’t drawn to the fast-paced world of ready-to-wear fashion. Instead, she was captivated by the magic of couture—the kind of fashion where every stitch, every bead, and every fold tells a story. To her, couture wasn’t just clothing; it was wearable art designed to make the person wearing it feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful.
Her very first couture gown was a bridal-inspired fairytale dress that would become the cornerstone of her debut collection. It wasn’t a sketch from childhood, but rather a defining moment as an adult where she decided to fully embrace her purpose. That gown represented more than fabric and thread—it was a symbol of stepping into a dream. Watching a young girl walk the runway in that gown, beaming with joy and confidence, was the exact confirmation she needed. In that moment, Mila knew this was the path she was meant to walk.

The process of creating a couture piece is as enchanting as the final result. Inspiration can come from anywhere—a color, a fabric, a theme, or sometimes just a feeling that sparks an idea. Mila starts by sketching her designs by hand, where the raw emotion pours onto the page. Later, she brings those sketches to life using digital tools that allow her to layer in colors, textures, and intricate details. Her favorite materials are luxurious ones like silk, tulle, and brocade—fabrics that move beautifully, feel elegant, and allow her imagination to run wild while still offering comfort, especially when designing for children.
For Mila, the heart of couture is always about balance—finding that perfect harmony between elegance and wearability. While her designs dazzle with crystals, embroidery, and dramatic silhouettes, they are also thoughtfully crafted to ensure children feel comfortable and confident. Mila carefully chooses every fabric not just for its beauty, but for how it

feels against the skin. She designs with movement in mind, knowing that for a child, feeling comfortable is just as important as looking spectacular. Nothing compares to seeing a child twirl in one of her gowns, their face lighting up as they realize they’re wearing something truly magical.
Mila’s greatest muse has always been her daughter, Emily. Becoming a mother transformed her entire perspective on fashion and life. Seeing the world through Emily’s eyes—the curiosity, the whimsy, the boundless imagination—inspired Mila to infuse her designs with that same sense of wonder. Emily often contributes ideas, suggesting unexpected color combinations, fantastical themes, and playful details that bring an extra layer of joy to Mila’s collections. Designing with her daughter adds a depth of love that makes each piece even more special.
The first time Mila watched Emily walk the runway in one of her designs, it wasn’t just a proud mother moment—it was something deeper. It was the realization that her daughter wasn’t just wearing a beautiful dress; she was wearing a piece of Mila’s heart. That sight of Emily glowing with pride and confidence made every late night, every challenge, and every risk completely worth it.
But it’s not only Emily who gets that special treatment. Mila pours that same love and intention into every piece she creates, for every child who wears her designs. When a model walks in a Mila Hoffman Couture show, the experience is about so much more than fashion. From the moment they are selected, the child becomes part of something extraordinary. The process begins with custom fittings where each model gets to select their gown—choosing colors, fabrics, and silhouettes that reflect their personality. Every gown is tailored to perfection, designed not just to fit their body, but to embody their spirit.
On the day of the show, the excitement is palpable. Professional hair and makeup teams work their magic, adding the final touches that make each model feel like royalty. The models also get the chance to participate in high-end editorial photoshoots, capturing memories and building their portfolios with magazine-worthy images. As showtime approaches, the nerves turn into exhilaration. Whether it’s on a runway in New York,

Los Angeles, Paris, or Milan, the experience is unforgettable. The lights hit, the music starts, and each child steps onto the runway surrounded by cheering families, flashing cameras, and an atmosphere of pure magic.
For Mila, the most thrilling moment is always seeing her creations come to life on the runway. All the hours spent sketching, selecting fabrics, and handcrafting details culminate in that breathtaking moment when the model steps out and the audience gasps. It’s a feeling of pride, fulfillment, and indescribable joy.
Mila is deeply intentional about every aspect of her brand, including how her work is captured and shared. She collaborates with photographers and videographers who not only understand fashion but who can

capture the emotion, the craftsmanship, and the heart behind each design. It’s essential that these creatives make every model—no matter their age—feel confident, seen, and celebrated.
Looking back, Mila reflects on the misconceptions people often have about couture. Some believe it’s only about glamour or that it isn’t practical, especially for children. But Mila knows couture is so much more. It’s about creativity, craftsmanship, and the power of making someone feel truly special. Behind the scenes, it’s not always as effortless as it appears. There are long hours, moments of trial and error, and countless decisions that require both artistry and precision. And yet, every unexpected turn, every small challenge often leads to the most beautiful results.

If Mila could go back and whisper advice to her younger self, it would be simple but powerful: Your vision is enough. You don’t need to follow someone else’s path. What makes you unique is what will set you apart. Stay kind, stay creative, and believe that your passion has a purpose.
She offers the same advice to any young person dreaming of becoming a fashion designer. Start where you are. Sketch, create, make mistakes, and learn. Let your imagination lead you. And never forget—what makes you different is what makes you shine.
For Mila, platforms like KidFash Magazine play a vital role in turning dreams into reality. They give designers a space to share their stories, to showcase their work, and to connect with communities that believe in the beauty of self-expression and creativity. Every runway show, every magazine feature, every child walking proudly in her designs is a reminder of why Mila does what she does. Because at the heart of Mila Hoffman Couture isn’t just fashion—it’s a love letter to childhood, to creativity, and to the magic that happens when you dare to dream.
When you scroll through the Instagram page of @krysiaksisters123, you're immediately pulled into a dazzling world of gowns, glitter, and glamour—but behind the magic are three sisters whose modeling journey began not with fashion, but with family.
Years ago, when Lily, Julia, and Sofia Rose were just 7, 5, and 3, their mother faced one of life’s biggest battles: stage 3 colon cancer. “After an intense 8-month battle, I beat it,” their mother shares. To celebrate that victory, world-renowned photographer Anita Surma (@thebutterflyphotography) offered the family a fairytale photo session—a “celebration of life.” That enchanting experience lit a spark. What began as a single magical moment turned into a shared family journey into the world of modeling.
You're immediately pulled into a dazzling world of gowns, glitter, and glamour—but behind themagic are three sisters whose modeling journey began not with fashion, but with family.
Fast forward to today, and the Krysiak sisters are a rising trio in the industry, captivating brands, photographers, and audiences alike. But behind every stunning photo is a highly coordinated life led by a dedicated “momager.” Managing three modeling careers is no easy feat—it’s a full-time job that involves calendars, travel plans, brand partnerships, and, most importantly, communication. Each morning starts with a family huddle at the breakfast bar to map out the day.
Despite their growing success, family remains the foundation. “We still take family vacations, and we spend our summers at our lake house where the girls can just be kids,” says Mom. “That balance is everything.” The girls are not signed with any modeling agency—their work comes through their social media presence and their mother’s careful management, proving that passion and teamwork can pave the way just as well as industry contracts.
“That balance is everything.”
When it comes to fairness, the focus has always been on unity. From fashion shows to brand shoots, the girls are typically booked as a trio. “I’ve always presented them as a team,” their mom explains. But now, with Lily entering her teenage years, she’s beginning to take on individual opportunities that reflect her growth and interests. It’s a gentle shift—one rooted in respect for each child’s individuality.
And that individuality shines. Lily is described as sunshine—soft, kind, and luminous. Julia is fierce and passionate, always ready to take the stage. And Sofia Rose? She’s got sass and sparkle, with a determination that’s impossible to miss. Rather than the sisters celebrate each other’s strengths. Their mom has instilled a “be happy for your sister” mentality that’s become a quiet superpower in an industry that can easily breed competition.
“I’ve always presented them as a team,”
Have courage and be kind.”
And that individuality shines. Lily is described as sunshine—soft, kind, and luminous. Julia is fierce and passionate, always ready to take the stage. And Sofia Rose? She’s got sass and sparkle, with a determination that’s impossible to miss. Rather than comparing, the sisters celebrate each other’s strengths. Their mom has instilled a “be happy for your sister” mentality that’s become a quiet superpower in an industry that can easily breed competition.
To keep them grounded, they hold tight to a family motto borrowed from Cinderella: “Have courage and be kind.” Whether it's school drop-off or walking into an audition, those five words are spoken daily, keeping the girls focused on character over clout.
As for sacrifices? “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” says Mom. From long days on set to late-night costume packing, it’s all been worth it. “I’m so blessed to have albums filled with beautiful pictures and core memories.”
Asked what advice she’d give to other parents beginning their journey into modeling, she doesn’t hesitate: “Make sure your kids are having fun. If they love it, that’s all that matters.”
In a world where fame can be fleeting, the Krysiak sisters are building something lasting—rooted in love, laughter, and the kind of family bond that no spotlight can outshine.
“Make sure your kids are having fun. If they love it, that’s all that matters.”
