Transitions

Normal every day life can be hard.  The ups and downs of Parenting can leave any Parent to wonder why did I sign up for this?  Right now as I parent 4 small girls I often wonder what would my life be like without my girls?  To be honest I don't think I would really like it.  I think I would be wishing for what I have right now.  A Husband who loves me and 4 beautiful girls who I get to raise and watch become the people I hope God has intended they become.  Will they make mistakes, absolutely!  Will I make mistakes, absolutely!  But I try every single day to tell each of my kids and Husband how much I love them and something I love about them or something I appreciate about them.  In this time of transition where we are living with family until we close on our house it has been extremely hard to feel like I have any regularity in my life.  It feels like I'm on the longest vacation ever and that it's never going to end.  Yet it also feel like the Lord is trying to teach me something.  So what what is it I'm suppose to learn?  Well today I was reminded to be Grateful.  So today I'm grateful for my Husband who is so supportive and loving.  I'm grateful I get to raise 4 beautiful girls.  I get to one day watch them be hopefully be Mothers themselves and I get to help them through all the things that come with that.  I'm grateful I have a place to stay right now where my Husband and I have our own room we can be in and it's so great to have our own space.  I'm grateful for the rain the fell today that lowered temperature significantly!  I'm grateful for running water and toilets.  I'm grateful for my car that has AC and for my Husband's job.  I'm grateful that I live in a free country where I can start a business and enjoy serving and loving those I work with.  The list is many, but for now I will just say one more.  I'm indeed grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ.  While my testimony of him is still growing I'm grateful for the peace I feel while learning about him.  I hope someday to have a perfect testimony of him.

Crying like a baby when I got my kids from school

So I went to pick up my girls on the last day of school and wasn't planning on getting emotional.  As a matter of fact I just wanted to drop off some paint and foam letters to Kali's teacher and then go.  The main reason I actually went to the school was because I had to pick up Kali's medicine.  She had to have her medicine at school every day and if I didn't pick it up they were going to discard it.  So I went and picked it up.  Then I went to Mrs. Mayfield's room dropped off the paint and such and went to find Kali's class.  Well they were sending off the 6th grade and it was pretty emotional in there.  It was so powerful.  Then I watched Kali give a big hug to her teacher and I lost it.  I had to remove myself from the room for a minute to try and compose myself.  Then I went in and lost it again.  So I went to pick up Anna and her classmates were like why are you crying, which was hard cause I couldn't really talk.  Then h...

Life as a Mom of 4 girls

Let me introduce myself.  My name is Christy.  I have 4 beautiful daughters who I will share with you periodically and I hope you can bare with me on this journey of having a blog.  You see I became a coach/mentor for woman suffering with postpartum due to the fact that I have seriously struggled myself with postpartum myself.  The worst was after my 3rd daughter.  I have a facebook group called Postpartum Triumphs where woman can go to get support and encouragement as they go through the next experience of being a Mother.   This blog is a place where I will share my struggles and triumphs.  Where I will share how being a Mother is the greatest thing in the whole wide world and also the very hardest thing in the whole wide world! In the following days I will introduce to all of you my daughters and a little about them, oh and also my hubby.  You will most definitely get to hear about him:)  But for now you get to know a little about me....
