Today I’m going to do something a little different on my page. I’m going to give you a review on this book that was kindly sent to me. As most know, I’m a mom to a little boy that means the world to me. But, this role has taken some time to get used to. Being a wife, and a mom has definitely placed my relationship with Christ on the back burner, as i’m sure happens with a lot of moms out there. We as moms are always busy. No matter if we have a job outside our duties as a mom, or if we stay-at-home with our little ones.…

You are enough for motherhood.
I used to dream of being a mom. I could not wait to embark on that journey. But then my journey with a chronic illness began. I was 18, in college, and single, so I never thought much of my future as a mom. I then started dating, and the thought of being a mom would come and go from my mind.

I knew ultimately I wanted to be a mom no matter how that came about, but I really desired to carry my own child. A few years into…

A little honesty.
Being a mom has been amazing, and I am so blessed to have my son in my life. The love I have for him is indescribable.

We planned our precious baby. The first month was easy. The…

Our story choosing life.
October 3, I saw two pink lines. I was excited, and scared. Scared because I knew the risks that would come. My baby was no surprise, yet he was planned- by us, and by God. I knew the hardship that I would go through. I had a hard time finding an OB that would accept me. Even after finding an OB that would accept me, they didn’t want to accept my baby’s life with the same value as my own. To me, my child was not a clump of cells, but he was a human- my precious baby. It was the hardest nine months of my life. I tried to…

Lessons from my first year of marriage.
Tomorrow is one year since I married my best friend. I’ve learned a lot of things in this past year. I’ve learned that when they say “marry your best friend“, you should take that seriously. I know what it’s like to be mixed with the wrong people, and I can tell you that being in a relationship with the right person is amazing. Being able to wake up next to your favorite person is something worth waiting for. I’ve learned the importance in finding someone that truly loves you. A person that loves you when you’re mad. A person that loves you when you’re happy, and sad. A person that…
