Being a Mom,

For me, it's truly a learning experience each and every day. My Mother passed away when I was just five years old. I feel, because of this I lack in having any type of guidance other then my own instincts and the word of God. Even though Lily wasn't presently with me yesterday, I saw her twice. Once I saw her when I was at target on my lunch break. It was a father and his blind daughter that had just walked in the door. She looked to be about 8 years old and was carrying the stick to help her reach out and feel where she was being lead. He had her arm and guided her through the crowded store. My heart immediately sank. I though to myself Becky, when you feel stressed out because Lily is misbehaving or you have had a long day just think of this precious scenario. This LOVING father who has to be the eyes for his baby girl. The second moment was on my drive home from work. A Mother and daughter just arrived home and they walked to the end of the driveway, each carrying a garbage can back to the garage. This little girl looked to be exactly the same age as my Lily and I thought to myself that would be US. I am always trying to teach her life lessons, even simple things like cleaning up after herself. Isn't it fascinating? That even though our children leave, are separated from us and go out into the world....that we still see them periodically through out the day? The love between a parent and their child is so overpowering, so unlike anything else we've experienced...and by far the BIGGEST blessing we could have ever received!

This is my first post, So I thought I would let the readers get to know me. Who am I? My name is Becky. I am a hard working single mama! Most of my beliefs and inspiration come from my faith in the Lord above! I have a beautiful daughter named Liliana. I am recently engaged and just bought my first house. The past year alone has taught me so much. Through this blog I hope to share with many, my hard learned lessons, my awesome recipes, and how I've survived the past 29 years with out Earthly Parents. I hope you can find inspiration here, and on some days a little extra hope and encouragement.

In love always,
Becky
