I just stumbled across this email I sent to someone who asked me about my decision to birth our first son at home in 2016. It might answer someone else’s questions so I thought I’d share my responses here 🙂 How did you look for a midwife in your area and how was your midwife all in all? My …
Nevah Wouldah Made It…
Today marks the one year anniversary of my first day at this job. It has been quite a ride! The move from Michigan was rough. Financially. Emotionally. Socially. Rough. But here we are, one year later, and God has seen us through! When we filed our taxes, our tax preparer asked how we managed to …
Unfairly Blessed!
2017 has been jam-packed with miracles for my family so far! I can’t be exhaustive in this post but God deserves praise for all He has been doing for us so I must, at least, list some of the great things He has been doing. Baby Incoming: We begun this year with the good news …
on becoming a Mom
tomorrow will be my first Mothers’ Day as a Mom… I’m excited to celebrate it because becoming a mother is the single most challenging and rewarding experience I have ever had! I was never that girl or woman who just wanted to have babies it was actually through a logical reasoning process that I came …
2 months in
Our son turns 2 months old tomorrow! We praise the Lord for keeping him happy and healthy. We are so blessed! Becoming a parent has been an experience quite unlike anything else I’ve experienced thus far. I really can’t even think of what I could liken it to. Our son’s only been in the world …
He’s Here!

9 days more
Counting down to the arrival of our son reminds me of waiting for the second coming of Jesus!
2015
This has been the LONGEST year of my life! Before this year, I’d have said that the wait from age 7 to age 10 took the longest. It was around the age of 7 that I made a decision for baptism but was informed that I was too young to follow through with my decision. In …
thoughts on the Syrian refugee crisis
It has taken me over a week and a half to synthesize why the backlash towards Syrian refugees (in withholding them asylum on the grounds of the Paris attacks) bugs me so much. Even now I’m not sure I’ll manage to clearly and concisely summarize my thoughts, but I’m ready now to take a shot …
no charge
Perhaps it’s because I live in the northern part of the US, but, it’s a little embarrassing to admit that I listened to country music growing up. No-one around here grew up on country, especially not the old school stuff like Don Williams…and would you believe I was disappointed with Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I will …
