Just One More Day
She may ask for “just one more day” but I ask for one more lifetime! My first born recently shared her college essay with me & it never ceases to amaze me how creative & intelligent she is. For 13 years it was just her & I. We had all the love & support of…

Finding Myself Through the Chaos of Motherhood
When I first started my blog, I was a single mom to one amazing daughter, working full-time in a well-paid, fulfilling career that I loved. I had worked so hard to reach that position—I spoke it into existence and prayed for it along the way. Back then, I finally felt like I was in a…
