Oh.My.Yes….. I’m having a “Grace Day“. It seems like we’ve been stringing them end to end here lately. Waiting. Watching. Hoping. Praying.

What I know….. I am blessed so far beyond my wildest dreams. I am madly in love with two of the most handsome guys on the planet. My daughters are AMAZING. My heart, more fully given to God, changed everything. I.WAS.MADE.TO.DO.THIS. What I love……. There are no signs of jealousy. Nursing. My arms are [...]

Who in their right mind moves 2 hours away from all of their friends and family just before baby number 5 is due to arrive?!? That would be us!! But did that stop my friends?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! If you’re in the market for friends, I highly recommend the kind that will….. stay up all night [...]
