Because, Sometimes, You Just Need Five Minutes…
Written by: Stacy Edwards | Found in: Parenting, Toddlers |
After ten years of being a working mom, God opened the door for me to fulfill my dream of staying home with my babies. My head was filled with visions of morning cups of coffee while children sat contently watching Sesame Street. My home was going to be tidy and welcoming and we would have [...]

This past Wednesday was my daughter’s sixth swim lesson and it started just like the other five had – with LOTS of tears. I’m talking as soon as we pulled into the driveway they started falling.
