Because of Emma Grace, and other things, I’m feeling particularly blessed with my 2 healthy children at the moment. Imagining what it must be like as a mother to watch your child in pain and afraid and be helpless is a terrible thing. Just thinking about it makes me cry - what must it be like to have to actual live that reality day after day?
I am truly blessed, and I am doing my best to realise that, and not to take anything for granted.
So here are 13 things about my children

You’re children are beautiful and it’s quite evident that you love them dearly!
Thank you so much for your comment on my challenges faced by working moms post. I was having “one of those days” and it sure helped to know I’m not alone in the challenges that I face. Thank you so much!
