Meet our 4th child…our 3rd son…and our latest example of God’s love: Drew Everett Smith. He came into this world fast and furious on May 18 at 2:37am. He is 7lbs 9oz and 20 3/4 inches full of love. We are officially a family of 6!
“You didn’t grow under my heart but in it.”
I couldn’t let Mother’s Day go without wishing my mother a Happy Mother’s Day. She always instilled in me the idea that I may not have grown under her heart but rather I grew in it. Thanks, Mom! My mother, sisters, Grandmother & I circa 1981 “Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my […]
What real Moms want for Mother’s Day
As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought I’d share a video put together by Freschetta Pizza about what real moms want for Mother’s Day. It is a cute, quick montage and if you look close enough you’ll even see me! As for what THIS real Mom wants for Mother’s Day…how about a baby? (I’m 9 months […]
“You’re doing OK, Mom.”
I saw this video and had to share for all the Moms out there who are hoping, wishing, and praying that everything they are doing to and for their kids will really be OK. Like the baby in this video I hope my newest little one, who I am impatiently waiting for, will soon say, […]

Give children around the world a @Shot@Life

What if getting a shot actually meant your child would LIVE? This is the situation facing many mothers in developing countries and […]

Luxury Living | Spring Break at The Breakers Palm Beach
I admit it. I was a bit intimidated about coming to the world-renowned resort, The Breakers Palm Beach. I figured my minivan (and the three kids who go along with it) would stand out…and not in a good way. Would all these prestigious, well-heeled people know that I spend my days caring for my crew […]
Why I became a stay-at-home mom
Our Easter photo this year. The NBC Nightly News crew asked me yesterday why I became a stay-at-home mom and I was a bit stumped. I feel like this “job” chose me…and I’m so glad it did. It’s like I am living a life I didn’t know I wanted until I got it. Now, I […]
