First Post from Mama ~ "Pieces of the Puzzle"

So, here we go...my first post on my new blog. My intent is to share with you my children, my faith, my life. My greatest hope is that in doing so, it touches your heart and your soul and deepens your faith in family and in God. I am in no way, shape or form an expert on anything but that rather I'm a mom who loves my family dearly and loves life and all that there is to enjoy in it. I truly believe that we are all pieces of a puzzle in this thing called life and without one piece of it.....the puzzles missing piece leaves a gaping hole. A hole that leaves one to do more than just wonder. We try to figure out what that piece "looks like", "fits like" and only God can complete the puzzle. So, be your "puzzle piece" in life and fit where you are intended to be. My piece of the puzzle looks like a mom of three beautiful children and the wife of an amazing man. I try so hard to be the best mom I can be although I make mistakes, I pick up my "pieces" and carry on and hopefully learned from it, didn't scar my children, LOL, and love them unconditionally as they are and always will be. My life as a wife is truly a blessing. I've been blessed with the most amazing man (Tony) as the person I'll spend the rest of my life with. He's my "muffin top"...my very best part!! Remember on a "Seinfeld" episode where Elaine wanted to start a Muffin Top business because they were the best of the muffin? Well, that is where I got that term from.  

My children vary in ages widely. My oldest daughter is 21, Bridgette and Nikki is 19. They live with their dad in Pennsylvania. Their dad and I divorced many years ago. I then married Tony and we adopted Joshua (who is now 3) from Guatemala. Joshua has been home from Guatemala a little over 2 years now. I am passionate about my children! They are my life's blood. My husband is my heart! Without any of them, I wouldn't be able to exist the same way. They shape me into who I am and I love it!! I love each of them so very very much!

Enough basic information for now.....hopefully you'll come back. Read and share with me. Enjoy and God bless each of you!!
