The best part of being a mom to me is the unconditional love. I have never felt a love as pure, a love that's as rewarding.
I am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life... and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.
My husband is my part of my greatest joys, so it doesn't feel like work or like I'm balancing anything. My husband and my kids absolutely come first, so work is just something where I figure out where it will fit.
My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.
My image is me. I talk for myself. I didn't become this person others wanted me to be.
