Let’s Talk About Sex…

Sex is one of the biggest topics right now in our society and probably one of the most misunderstood. This first conversation between God and man involved our identity and it involved sex. Yet, growing up, I felt that the church shied away from the topic. The only conversation pertaining the issue was that sex…

The Toe Tourniquet

When we were finally able to bring the twins home from the hospital, I was a nervous wreck. Only 2 nights before they came home, Timothy began to DSAT so low that he turned blue. The doctors immediately put him back on oxygen, and he ended up coming home on O2. I can remember watching…

A Day in the Life…

8:00am: Jettie, “Momma get up!” As she taps on my cheek. Brush my teeth and go to the bathroom. Jettie, “Momma go poopoo?” As she cocks her head and tries to look through the crack of the toilet seat and toilet. Make milk for Jettie, Timothy, and Erin.

Stepping into Motherhood
