About our family
Being a young mom was fun. Watching my little girl grow, seeing how she needed my every moment’s attention; how one-on-one parenting was best. As Christianity took root in my soul, I pulled away from that knowing to add another soul to my responsibility, to fill a void, to have a playmate and friend for […]

I’ve been considering an awful lot — with so much time on my hands and all. I am finding it difficult to fit everything I need done in the day due to a lag in my motivation. I believe I’m still grieving the family sever from last month. Then Covid19 popped up, I lost my

I’d like to state for the record that I removed my children from schools outside of the home. I have one child still flip-flopping on the decision, as she goes to a college prep school and loves it there… No more anxiety attacks when the automated mass phone alert from the school calls about a

Something my family and I have been attempting to use as a tool is Validation. Validating someone gives them a moment to have another person recognize your suffering/fear/excitement.
