Why the blog??

So...I've been waiting and waiting on when and how to create a blog. Well, a few months ago, my mom kept encouraging me to start and I kept on making the same 'ole excuses...well mom...here you go! She just had to go get sick...but I must say during the last four days, I've had no better therapy than writing the updates via Facebook for all of our family and friends on her progress.

Then this morning...it hit me...she did it again...my mom taught me another lesson about life and she's not even aware of it! I have been given the inspiration to finally start my blog! I know what it will be about and even better...what it's going to be called!

So...Mama's Update will begin as status updates on my mom's progress while she's in the hospital in order to keep those updates happening and for those friends and family that are not on Facebook.

Once she is better and doing well...this blog will continue with me as the mama...giving you updates on what crafts, projects, and other things I am doing as a mama with my 3 beautiful kiddos!

So...here's to the new blog...Mama's Update. I hope you enjoy and subscribe as in the near future...I'll assist you on the successes and misses of Pinterest ideas I've tried, as well as other tutuorials in sewing, organizing, and even budgeting!

Thanks mama...you'll never really know how much you inspire me every day!!

Strength… #forthewrightreasons

August 21, 2019…it was just another time of crazy happening…this time to fix the 99% blockage in your heart. I was scared.  The odds were stacked against you. It was then that you held me in your arms, and comforted me instead of the other way around. You told me during that embrace that you weren’t scared of the outcome because either way you would be healed on earth or healed and in Heaven. My anxiety was so high and you held me as I cried…you did everything you could to reassure me that there was so much peace in your mind and heart and you showed me what true strength looked like.  We took this picture, because I was afraid it would be the last time I would get to see you. Through my tears you comforted me, as any mother would, but that day, you showed me what compassion felt like. You fought so hard those next few days - especially the next, when you coded from losing so much blood...you fought so hard the following 6 months for everything to be the best you could make it...

January 6, 2013

Mom was finally moved to an intermediate care room last night as she continues on the path to recovery. The results of her cat scan from the other evening were good - confirmed no stroke. However, her speech is still slow and you can tell she's confused so they did an EEG today. She's having some difficulty answering some simple questions such as 2+2, her birthday, and what month it is. She does know that its 2013 but I think thats only because we told her (a few days ago though...). She did tell me on Friday that she doesn't understand... "can't fathom 2013". We went to see her today on our way home. The kids (Trey, Morgan, Liberty, Hailey, & Brooklyn) finally got to see her as well! We are hoping that it will help with her recovery. She did perk up just a bit but not like I had hoped. However...I still have hope as she had a pretty exhausting day with the EEG test. She looked tired! She's not sleeping very well...she told dad a few days ago that she...
