Facing Tough Encounters
Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey I have been at peace with decisions that I made to provide an environment for my children that embraced their over all well-being. An environment of interest, creativity, strengths and weaknesses, love, joy, kindness, and yes even disagreements with brother but healthy disagreements.

Family, friends, nurses, even strangers wrapped us in prayer and love during our loss and grief. I poured my self into raising awareness and helping other moms the … [Read more...]
For You
I take my days here on this earth for granted a lot. Just being able to hug and hold my two kiddos and teach them about life while playing with legos, driving to the park, reading books together, school work, sports, and the list goes on. I take for granted my time as if I will be on this earth forever so I don't say I love you enough, I'm not a good enough friend, I put off things for tomorrow instead of today, feeling completely secure in my earthly life. But I think of you often. I miss you everyday. I share about you too but not because I'm constantly living in … [Read more...]
