What a Sweet Surprise!

HELLOOOO!  I’m back after a 5 month blogger hiatus! I miss blogging, but life’s just been so busy and filled with lots of (good) changes, so I took some time off. I want to get back into it though, because I miss looking back and watching Taylor grow up on in past posts and being able to chronicle my life.

So, yesterday I was in my bathroom getting ready and the house was awful quiet… No one was hanging on me, no whining or crying, no one was getting into my makeup drawer, no one needed anything, so I suspected SOMETHING was up. Marc went to go look for Taylor and Haden and then came running back to come get me. He said, “You’ve gotta see this! Shhhh!” So, we quietly ran to the kid’s bathroom to find Haden delicately brushing Taylor’s hair after helping her get dressed, and he was even attempting to put a bow in her hair. I almost cried! How sweet is that?!? We didn’t find them fighting over a toy, making a mess, or (play) sword fighting… Nope! He was brushing her hair and she was letting him! I wish I was able to get a picture of it. Instead of had them pose for me after running back to grab my phone…



(BTW, Haden will KILL me if he knew his picture of him in his PJs is all over the world wide web, so let’s just make that our little secret, K???)

Seeing this reminded me to thank God immediately… These are my kids! My miracle baby, Taylor, and my new step-son, Haden! How awesome is that?!

I never imagined this is what my family would look like – it’s much different that what I first envisioned when I found out I was pregnant with the Green Beans SIX LONG years ago. I just knew I wanted to be a Mom and I was open to what God had in store for me. It has been a tough road, but I so glad to be where I am today! So grateful for the blessings that surround me.

  8. It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
    It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one.
