Raising a Large Family with Love
July 15th is a very important day for our family, since it is our wedding anniversary. This year would have been our 30th anniversary! 28 years together and 2 years apart.

Sometimes, people find this topic quite difficult to talk about and try to hide it from their children. But the thing is, birth and death are simply facts... Continue Reading →
Today is the birthday of my husband and tomorrow is my birthday. Last year, to celebrate these two birthdays, one of my children wrote the poem I’ve shared below. I put it up on Instagram and on Facebook, but now I also want to share it with all of you on my blog. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba6OOqHlKPZ/?utm_source=ig_embed You... Continue Reading →
