Family

My why for everything is always my family. I always knew when I grew up I wanted to be a mom. I even knew I wanted four kids. Family and motherhood have been and will always be my calling and my biggest ministry. It was the loss of our first child to miscarriage that brought me back to my faith and rebuilt my relationship with God. The reason we chose to homeschool in the very beginning was to focus on our family and soak up all the time we could with our kids. As our family grew, we realized we were raising our family differently than how we were raised and even different from our peers around us. Now as we will soon be celebrating our relationship of 22 years, married 15 of those years, and the parents to four children ages 6-13 we have learned a lot about relationships and family along the way. As wives and as moms, we may often feel like we don’t have a handbook, or a guide to help us along the way. Knowing the mistakes I have made and the mistakes I will learn from in the future, I hope that sharing my real and unfiltered journey as a wife and mom will encourage other women to overcome through grace!
