To say motherhood has been an adventure is quite an understatement. It's been more like a wild ride, but I wouldn't trade a moment of it. Not only has it been my privilege to watch my baby boys grow, but my continued evolution as a woman AND a mom has also been an unexpected blessing. Along the way, I held fast to pearls of wisdom that comforted and guided me. Each mother has a unique path to tread in guiding each of her children to be who God intended them to be.
