Unconditional Love
Every parent has heard the saying ” I would die for my child”. But only real parents know that this is 100% the TRUTH! Not a one of us would ever let anything happen to our children if we could avoid it or prevent it. As I look into the angelic faces of my four babies…

Dad circa 2012
I don’t know how many of you will be able to relate to this next Journey of mine, but I have waited to put this one down. Mainly because I didn’t want my siblings getting upset with me. But I had to realize this isn’t about them it’s about me. Selfish right? My parents were…

Munchkin
Fifteen. Wow. Fifteen years ago (in about 12 hours) my daughter was born. And I became someones mother. I remember thinking, “I hope God knows what he’s doing because I don’t!” She came in at 7 lb 4.5 oz, 21.5 inches long and with a head of black hair and she was perfect. After 17…

Boys
Oh my are they an education or what? My oldest young man was born in 2007, my youngest in 2010. And they are the most amazing gifts and yet the largest education this momma could ever have gotten. Raising girls is so simple in the early years. They like pink, they play and pretend and…

Memories (2012)
Memories are funny things. It amazes me every time I try to remember something from my childhood and I get it completely wrong. As little kids everything is huge and a big deal. Something that seems insignificant to an adult can have a huge impact on a child. This last weekend I went back to…

Thankfulness
You would think that being thankful would be an easy thing. But it’s not always. At least not for me. When I was younger I asked “why” a lot. Why me? Why now? Why not? Of course, I was getting answers but being young and going down a path that didn’t lead to God, I of…

Children
This Journey began in 1997 with the birth of our oldest child. She is amazing and a struggle all at once. They all are. I have four children, ranging in age from 15 to 2. Crazy is a term that most definitely defines my life. When ME was born we were thrilled. We were just…

My Momma
I was a boo boo baby. Mom and Dad were 38 when they found out that their 5th child was on the way. And needless to say they were shocked. There were so many concerns. In 1975 they didn’t have half of the diagnostic items that they have now. They didn’t know what to expect.…

Love
Have you ever been walking somewhere and you get the great pleasure of seeing a little couple with white hair holding hands? I’ve seen this many times. And I hope to be half of that pair some day. I met the love of my life at a very early age. I was a mere 17…

Babies
As the mother of four children I could go on and on about the ups and downs of our life. But that’s not what this Journey blog is about. There are plenty of other mother’s, with much larger families, that blog about their daily life. And I bet their words are filled with more wisdom…
