About

I am the mother of 12, grandmother of 2 (with another on the way).  I am stepmother to 5 (having adopted 1 of those stepchildren).  I have been a single teen mom. I have been in an abusive marriage. I have been homeless and going to the food bank for meals. I have been a single mom with 5 kids. And now, I am remarried with a blended family. Life has not always been an easy journey but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

          My children will probably be the first to say that I am no saint of a mother. I have never tried to hide my mistakes, often having apologized for them along the way. However, I think I have done a few things right. At the very least, I love them dearly and I have been and forever will be doing my best to be better, give more, and love more freely and deeply. I can only hope someday my children will fully understand how much they are cherished by me and maybe understand that I am just a regular human trying to get through this life, just like them.  Most importantly, I will always be there for my children, I will always love them.
