Why would a Pentecostal celebrate Jewish Holidays? First and foremost, Hannukah begins today! I grew up Southern Pentecostal (Church of God). My roots go deep, my great-grandmother (on my father’s mother’s side) left a strong legacy of faith behind. Though the years I’ve gone to some non-denomination churches, but my heart always find home when I…
Today, eleven years ago, Chris and I got married. Here is some of a post to social media I made on our one year anniversary: One year ago today some of you out there thought I’d finally lost all common sense. I started getting to know a guy online. We almost didn’t even cross paths,…
You cannot escape knowing of the things taking place in the world today. You turn on the television or the radio and it’s there. Any form of social media, it’s there. Covid, Afghanistan, hurricanes, floods, fires, the list goes on and on. It can be so easy to get wrapped up and feel hopeless, but…
I’ve been lost; depleted; defeated; tired. I cannot pinpoint exactly when it started, it was slow at first and then snowballed into an avalanche. I felt burned out, depressed, fatigued more than usual, like nothing I could do mattered. I’ve dealt with depression almost my entire life, so I’m no stranger to the hold it…
Earlier in the month, I went back home for a few days. After a morning of shoots, I got some pictures of our families fur babies. Lil’Bit was born to family furbabies, one of those being my male chihuahua Pudd that passed away almost three years ago at the age os 12 1/2. Lil’Bit was…
This week I took GG, my toddler (yes, I still have a few months that I can call him that, so I’m doing it as much as possible!), had his first non-melt-down haircut. He’s almost 4 and I’ve taken him to two salons, once when he was over one and another about 9 months later….
When I was about six I went on a trip to central Florida with my parents. While there we did several things, but what stayed in my mind was visiting Weeki Wachee and seeing the mermaids swim. I had already been dreaming of being a mermaid, but seeing those girls swimming as mermaids made me…
Have you ever wondered what you would tell your 12 year old self if you could time travel? If you had the chance would do it? Would you chance changing your future? I think about things like this at times – especially right now since I’m super into the Flash series! If I decided to…
There’s few things I enjoy more than the excitement of moving. It’s a thrill that gives me butterflies. However, the first time was very emotional for me. I was 10 years old. My parents had bought land and after 6 months had built a house that we got to move into. Packing that time was…
My dearest Pudd,For 12 yrs you were one of the biggest parts of my life. You were my first son. You helped me through some of the hardest points in my life. You were just a tiny, rolly-polly, pudgy thing when I picked you up at 7 weeks. You gave me some of the best…

Technically 0 for 4. For those that let us know about Baby V, again thank you. We haven’t heard anything at this point which means that we are not “in the running” for next phase however we did fill out the pre-application Monday. Looks like they found a more suitable family for her. Yesterday we…

I got the call yesterday that we were not chosen. I was in the middle of re-organizing the pantry, listening to iTunes radio on my phone when it rang. If you ever do this then I’m sure you know, but if you don’t – it basically pauses the song you were listening to. I had…
After all, that’s the only way I do anything. I make up my mind and there’s noting that can stand in my way. Sometimes that’s good…. but not always. I am lucky however that Chris accepts this, even when it means that we’ve BOTH got a weekend of honey dos to get done! We’ve been working on putting the…
