“My momma’s heart was broken yesterday as I sat with Camden on his ‘first day’ of Kindergarten–8 hours online. 6-year-olds are supposed to play and be so excited for their first day of school, not broken.”

“My momma’s heart was broken yesterday as I sat with Camden on his ‘first day’ of Kindergarten–8 hours online. 6-year-olds are supposed to play and be so excited for their first day of school, not broken.”
“Our 3-year-old snuggled in my lap and cried. DCS drove away with our kids. I cried. How do you convince them you will always love them? It’s not their fault.”
“Everyone always says, ‘I don’t know how you do it.’ It’s simple. I do it because it’s what is best for Sophia and Grason.”
“Her vocabulary includes words that would break your heart. As she expressed the pain in her heart, I felt as if I was looking at my former self. ‘I know you, I see you, and I am going to fight for you.’ She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and told me she believed me. I’ll show her she can.”
“Before I became a mom, I would’ve been the person that said, ‘I will NEVER put my child on a leash, he’s not a dog!’ And then I became a mother.”
“‘If I have no prospects by the time I’m thirty, I’ll have a baby on my own.’ I was stagnant. I hated the person staring back at me in the mirror. All I had to say was, ‘I was wrong.’”
“They need back scratches, stern looks, and smiles their friends don’t notice. They need our ‘I love you’s,’ and those hard moments as we slowly let them go. A boy needs his momma to be happy when he is happy and sad when he is sad. Being a boy mom is so much bigger than I thought.”
“Last Sunday was nothing short of a gift, from the big guy himself. We woke up healthy and well; we went to bed healthy and well. But the day in itself? We didn’t cherish it like we should have.”
“Girls’ trips are fantastic, but has your friend ever shown up at your door in the midst of chaos, in perfect timing? Date nights are fun, but have you ever eaten leftovers while sitting together on your couch? Vacations are the sweetest, but have you ever stayed right where you are and soaked in what God gave you?”
“We were just three people who wanted to get to know one another and fell in love during the process.”
