Mariah's 7th Birthday Party

The Princess is always a princess and always finds the beauty in everything and in everyone. I will tell you that every year I say I am NEVER throwing another party for my kids again because I spend WAY to much money and no one ever shows. Well we had 2 girls come and we had a lovely time decorating cupcakes, painting finger nails and watching a princess movie of course. Mariah may not know that she is not a real princess, but to me she is better than any fairy tale princess she is MY miracle and MY dream come true. She is the ONLY true Princess I know!! Until today she thought that Cinderella really did exist. She cried when I told her that Cinderella is just a fairy tale. I was so sad for her when she realized that this world did not exist in real life. A life she now knows she will never visit. :(

Home-Sweet-Home

Home is where the heart is,....

Home can be a heaven on earth where we are filled with love, bringing happiness and joy, rich blessings from above. I have to say, I love my new home. I love the stability that it provides for me and my kids. I love that when I come through the doors that I feel that I belong,.. that I have a place to hang my hat so to speak and that I am safe,... that WE are safe. Safe from the elements, safe from the ugly world we live in. I love my life and I love my new job... I love that I can provide this for my kids,... they deserve this!! I love my savior and I love the life he has given to me! It may not be what I had always wanted,... for me to be a single mom,... but I have been blessed. I see great blessings in my life and in my kids lives.
