Thankfulness.....

Lately with me being back at work, I have seen so much heartache and sadness when it comes to peoples health. We sometimes get side tracked with our daily lives and forget to sit back and be thankful for certain things. Things like a healthy 8 year old singing at the top of her lungs, or a 3 month old crying because she hungry. Functioning organs. Things like seeing them happy and healthy and free of any disease or sickness. There are so many families out there struggling with seeing a sick child, or coping with news that give them no chance of survival. This has opened my eyes to how really truly blessed, I am for my family. My heart breaks for those going through hard times and I wish I could make it better for them. All I know to do is pray for them and keep them in my thoughts. My heart and thoughts goes out to all those families going through a struggle right now. I pray God see you through your hardship. So be Thankful, I know I am. "My strength comes from the Lord the maker of Heaven and Earth. " One truly blessed Mother.

My girls

 My first heartbeat born on August 8, 2003. (Same day as daddy's birthday). She is my ray of sunshine. There is never a dull moment with her. She is the most caring, generous, shy little girl you'll  ever meet. (Mind you she has her moments) She can say the most funniest, sweetest random things out of the blue that still shows a child's innocence. (stay that way baby girl!) She has helped me grow so much as a person and mother. She strives to always please people especially her mom and dad. She tries her best at everything and will keep trying to get it right. She has a heart of gold no doubt. She loves wholeheartedly and never holds back. She will give you her last good crayon and use a broken one if she has to. I have had 7 beautiful years watching her grow. As time passes each year, I am amazed with the person she is becoming. Watching her grow into her own is priceless. I pray she maintains that kind spirit and good head on her shoulders. As her mother, I will make sure to guide her along the way to help her bloom to a beautiful person. Although seeing her grow so fast is bittersweet, I know one day she will go off and spread her wings and do great things.

                                                                                     

Being a Mom...

Well like I said I am a mother to two beautiful girls. Kora who is 7 years old going on 8. Kaylah who is our new addition at 8 weeks old. Being a mom for almost 7 years to one daughter, I thought it was hard enough with just one child.  Now being responsible for two girls OH MY! I thought I had no time for myself with one. HA! I have learned as well as my husband (danny-love you!) and Kora it is a huge adjustment. I respect those of you who have more than two kids, more power to you! I could not do it. Although you would think "well you don't have a boy, don't you want to try for a boy?" NO! :) Sorry hunny. I am convinced two is my limit. It is the most rewarding, fulfilling job out there. Trust me I am fulfilled. All in all, isn't it amazing that you have been given such precious gifts? If you think you have loved before, it does not compare to a child's love. Mother's out there can agree, I'm sure. They make me want to be a even better person, and do whatever it takes to ensure they will be all they can be.  So for my first post I dedicate this to my heartbeats Kora and Kaylah. :)
