I am a mom to six amazing children. I have lived various roles while parenting. I have a huge range of experience, which I share with you through blog and video. I am happily married to an amazing man who also has a heart for kids. He is level headed and very methodical in his approach to parenting. He exudes grace, which is a constant example to me. Twenty one years ago I became a mom while I was a teacher/dean at a junior high. I began parenting in an unhealthy relationship and divorced while my first born was a baby. While I was single I became a foster parent to a teenager, who eventually ended up with her aunt. I became an assistant principal and decided to adopt from Guatemala as a single mom. While I was going through the adoption process, I met the man of my dreams. He graciously took on two kids and made me his wife. I gave birth to three kids with two miscarriages in the middle. We thought we were done. Until one day I heard of a cousin in foster care needing a relative to adopt her or she would remain in foster care. Of course we adopted her too! I have experienced motherhood in just about every phase. I oftentimes think if I had this information while parenting my older kids it would have been easier. My purpose in sharing my experiences with you is so you can learn from my mistakes and discoveries. Laugh, cry, become motivated, light bulb moment, are just a few revelations you will experience.
