Motherhood. I believe one of the most rewarding acts is to lay down ones life for a child. Raising children is amazing. It teaches me both patience and efficiency. It teaches me humility and gratitude. It teaches me to be a voice for the voiceless in our community and on this globe for the sake…
This picture perfectly depicts my two mini-mes. One lives her life perfectly by the book. She’s a little Swiss engineer in the making. Everything in her mind has a process, a place, and a perfectly good reason why it functions the way it does. The other one could care less about process, order, and functionality……

“Bubblous? Bubblous”, as she’s looking at me with her big blue eyes, tucking on my shirt, pointing to the TV.. “Bubblous, Momma, Bubblous Puppies, Momma.” Well, that was a first.
