Putting Yourself in Another’s Shoes

God continued to provide. My husband was doing night calls for I don’t know how many years just to make ends meet. Looking back, I don’t think I thought he was stressed because he never showed it. He was an amazing daddy who loved on his children when he got home instead of doing what the average guy did (watching tv or doing whatever without their family when they got home) I was blessed to have a guy who would help me when he got home, read to the children, and tuck them in. We had a very simple life but I loved it and I even had a neighbor tell me once he loved seeing us all out in the backyard running around and playing together the way families and children use to. He encouraged us to keep doing that.

Living Life to the Fullest

October 30, 2020 In some places, they have what they call, “Begger’s Night”, where the children dress up as their favorite character and go from door to door telling a joke in exchange for a treat, usually in some form of candy.

September 21, 2020 The word, Codependency, is something that was brought to my attention last year. I have thought much about it and asked myself if that was a word that described me, and after thinking much on it, I thought it surely didn’t. However, as I have gone through trying to figure out all…… Continue reading Codependent Society

The Emperor’s Gift

March 20, 2020 I don’t know about you, but with all that has been happening in our country this past few weeks, it would be very easy to lose perspective on anything and everything. It has been a surreal experience. I would really like to keep my perspective grounded from God’s point of view as…… Continue reading The Emperor’s Gift

Where’s the Balance?

March 15, 2020 With all that has been happening around us, it seems unbelievable the responses that we are seeing. I want my response to be balanced as my whole life I've seen extremes from one end to the other. It would be easy for me to fear the "what ifs" causing me to be… Continue reading Where’s the Balance?

Tomorrow I’ll be a Better Mommy

November 17, 2018 The other day when I was about to workout, I heard two young mamas talking about their failures and how hard parenting was for each of them. Then, one said, “I always tell myself, tomorrow I’ll be a better mommy”. This conversation made my heartbreak because I totally understood what she was…… Continue reading Tomorrow I’ll be a Better Mommy
