Mother-Daughter Day

I had today off from work, so my daughter asked if we could go out to lunch together without my mom or sister. We did take my "grand-doll" Rosie along.
We went to Olive Garden and got ice cream after lunch.

It was the perfect day!

How do you like to spend time connecting with your kids?

Happy National Selfie Day!! Here is a cute photo

Happy National Selfie Day!!

Here is a cute photo of me with my sister at an outdoor restaurant on Lake Michigan from this past weekend. They have amazing shrimp skewers!!
Do you like seafood?

5 fun facts about me:

1. I LOVE Disney!!!

2. I love Jesus ✝️

3. I am double-jointed.

4. I am all about the 90s boy band music

5. I have never been out of the country.

Let’s get to know each other for #nationalselfieday! Head over to #funwithbloggerbabes to see what some of my friends are sharing.

Can I just share what this photo represents to me?

Can I just share what this photo represents to me?

Here is my daughter, standing in front of the kids at her school (not just her class), helping the magician with a trick. Apparently, she was the only kid that did not volunteer...so, of course, she was picked.
Her teacher informed us that she did an amazing job. She told the magician her name, talked, and earned a stuffed bunny as a prize.

You may be thinking...big deal. Kids do this sort of thing everyday.

Not my daughter.

She suffers from Sensory Processing Disorder and anxiety. She is incredibly smart and once she is comfortable in a situation, she opens up. But new things and people are hard on her. Being in front of all the kids, where it was probably noisy, and she had to interact with a guy she didn't know (even tho she LOVES magic)...that's a lot for her.

So, what does this photo mean to me?
Everything.
Bravery.
Overcoming hardships.
Growth.
All the things.

One of the best things about this long weekend is having fun with my sister.

Megan is one of my favorite people and I am so thankful to have her in my life.

One of the coolest things about our business is that we are able to do it together (from anywhere!). I love helping others and I love working with my sister.

I need your prayers for this beautiful lady.

Noelle is my cousin, my best friend, and like a sister to me.

She was recently diagnosed with cancer and starts chemo today.

I truly believe she will beat it. I am asking that you pray for strength, healing, and peace of mind while she allows the doctors and God take charge of healing her body.

Thank you, friends.

Does this photo even need a caption?

Her smile is my everything!

Providing for her, spending time with her, and ensuring her future are my motivation.
Being a single mom is not easy, but it is WORTH it! Every smile, hug, giggle, and "I love you," reminds me why I keep pushing on.
