My Mother

Ok so I think I must share a little of my history , before I start talking about my new world of being a mother. By history I am talking the relationship, I had with my mom, the fact that I had " step kids" way before I had my own , ( I'll explain the quotations in a minute) and of course my journey into motherhood, pregnancy to present . It's a story and a half , but I think that's with all women. Don't you ;)
To begin, my mother was an amazing woman , she taught me everything I know about life, spirituality, health, being a wife, and motherhood. Sometimes she wasn't necessarily trying to teach ( or so I thought at the time) she was just telling me things, that she experienced and where she felt she went, wrong and could have done things differently. I am the woman, and mother I am today because of her.

Mom passed away in May of 2006. A year before I had my first child Kaleb. I actually think conceived my babyboy in the month she left this earth.

He was a gift to me . Because losing my mother was going to tear me apart, but I had to hold myself together for the health of my little bun in the oven.

Kaleb was born February 2007, and then unexpectedly I was preggers again, with Keira, my babygirl., she was born exactly a year later February 2008.

This is where my journey as a full time mom started, and changed the scope, and purpose of my life forever.
