Time managment? Priorities? I didn’t realize how out of whack my priorities were. Just a few months back, I vowed to make a commitment to the different areas of my life, specifically concerning a few long overdue personal ongoing projects. Some of these said projects became distant and obscure love affairs that were more indefinite … Continue reading The takeover is real…

To this day, I don't know how I managed to survive 4 months without my son being with me. As a hands on mom who is actively involved in my son's life, it was such a hard decision and transition to say the least. My prayers were answered, God protected him and now we are reunited … Continue reading Reunited for the holidays! The best gift of all!
