Welcome Back

Well hello there! First of all, if you are reading this post, thank you! It has been a while. A long while. I started this blog six years ago to openly share my struggles with infertility and some insight into our adoption story. A year and a half after our kids Andrey and Katya joined our family, we found out we were pregnant.  After nine years of struggling with infertility, this was truly a miracle and I'm excited to dedicate a separate post to share about my pregnancy and how I found out I was pregnant in the near future. Once I was pregnant, I felt like I no longer had authority or the right to speak about infertility or share about my parenting struggles, adoption difficulties or any of the treacherous run ends I had with my faith over the last few years. In other words, a lot of changes around here, yet an equal amount of blessings and I did not know how to make sense of it. I felt as though I had no right to complain or vent about any of the difficulties, because God had sent this miracle into our lives. After some much-needed reflection,  I've decided to start blogging again. I've truly missed writing and mostly miss the therapeutic relief that came from sharing my thoughts, experiences, prayer requests, etc. I realize now that putting my thoughts on paper is affordable therapy and it keeps me accountable for my feelings in some odd way.

Let me tell you friends, parenting is not what I thought it would be, some things have pleasantly surprised  me, and others have horrified me and have brought out sides of my personality that I didn't know existed. Adoption is SO different than I thought it would be. Being a stay at home mom is SO much more exhausting than I anticipated. This faith thing is more challenging than I expected. Moving forward, I'd love to share how are family is doing, our pregnancy and birth story, my health journey before and after pregnancy, some unsolicited parenting advice and reflection, raw venting from someone who has been thrown into the trenches of parenting three kids in a matter of two years and hopefully some encouraging words. So stay tuned and let me know if there is anything specific you'd like me to write about. For now, I hope you are having a great start to your new year.


Thank you all for stopping in. I am humbled by those that have written or emailed me asking me to update my blog. Thank you for your encouragement.

  4. My Name is Susan Nanaya, from France, i want to share my testimony to the general public on how Dr Chale used his herbal medicine to helped me conceive and give birth to my baby boy last week, my doctor told me i had blockage in my fallopian tube, which you all know that woman with that can never get pregnanat, for more than 10 years in marriage i had no child of my own, so i came across different testimony of people sharing the goodness of Dr chale, who helped cure Autism, fibriod, dybeties, Molluscum contagiosum, Folliculitis, Dermatitis, brought back a woman's lost husband, help restore lost job,help a man got visa of his choice,help cured a woman who had endometriosis, but i saw a testimony who had infertility problem but finally became a mother now with his help, immediately i Dr chale who i have been reading about his work. i told him i had blockage in my fallopian tube, Dr chale told me the only solution to my problem is his natural herbal medicine which he will prepare and told me how much to get it to my door step, i thought he was going to take my money, but then i had courage cause if he can help me why not give him a chance, which i did and purchased his herbs and i received it in 48 hours after he prepared it at my door step, and after taking the herbs as instructed, and told me when to have sex with my husband which i did, but to my greatest surprise after two weeks i became pregnant which was like MAGIC, i went to my doctor for pregnancy test and came out positive, now i am a mother just the same way others had shared theirs. Dr chale natural herbs works like magic, i encourage every woman who have infertility issues to contact him E-mail: (chalesolution@yahoo.com) or (chalesolution@gmail.com), to share yours now.

  8. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
    I thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life
    became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the
    symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family
    run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave
    up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the
    doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but
    they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making
    it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I
    came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota
    cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought
    it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details
    provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me
    his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two
    weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms
    disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was
    NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR
    Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on
    telling the world about you. If you are going through same
    situation worry no more and contact DR Ebhota via
    drebhotasolution@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.
    he also special on cureing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3. CANCER 4.
    ALS 5. HEPATITIS B 6.DIABETES 7. HUMAN PAPILOMA VIRUS DISEASE(HPV)8.
