Trusting God to continue to lead, guide and bless them as they learn and grow each day. We are very thankful that their transition has been such a positive [...]

GO RIGHT AWAY!!!
Oh no! I can’t see my bum-bum!!!
I am surrounded by men – one big guy (my hubby), and two little guys (our boys, aged 5 and 3) . Being the naturally inquisitive children that God created our boys to be lol, they are always asking questions about why many things are a certain way, and wanting to know and understand more:). [...]

Eddie Murphy plays Akeem, an African prince who is exploring America for the very first time (Many of you are probably familiar with the story). I can’t tell you how many times my sisters and I watched this movie growing up. After a while, [...]
Choosing How Our Experiences Affect Us
So… like everyone else, I sometimes get disappointed by people (and I disappoint some people sometimes too). It happens to everyone from time to time. Some disappointments are huge and can seem crushing, others are no big deal and we can just brush them off and quickly move on. Yep, it is unfortunately a fact [...]
