Holiday cards are finally in and I’m in love with this @minted design! Every year I explore with different looks for the family and this year I added a pop of Tiffany blue. What do you think?⁣
⁣
As busy and hectic this season can be, I love the feeling of writing Christmas cards and wrapping gifts in my pajamas while listening to Christmas music. Instead of feeling stressed, why don’t we partake in the busyness of the season by feeling grateful that we have family to shop for and friends to send out cards to? Sending you warm holiday vibes wherever you are! 🎄✨⁣

The moment your pregnancy test shows positive, your entire world changes. A new baby comes with a lot of joy and big responsibilities, including wanting to keep our babies safe and healthy. Watch this video to see why routine baby checkups are so important to me and my family. You can see younger versions of me and my kids-- I still can’t believe how fast they grow! ⁣

(#ad) Many of us are blessed with toys and supplies but there are others who are struggling to have their basic needs met, let alone receive gifts during the holidays. We are aware of this and wish to give back during the holiday season but it’s sometimes hard to find the right organization and some of the methods are unrealistic for our busy schedules. This year I found the perfect way to give back safely and transparently at your fingertips using @Amazon – donating through AmazonSmile Charity Lists. You can go to smile.amazon.com/charitylists, select a charity of your choice and shop directly for items requested by the charity. The process is easy, and you’ll feel great knowing you’re #DeliveringSmiles to your favorite charity!

This year I chose @project.hope.alliance to give back to K-6th grade students facing homelessness and am asking others to join me. I’m also including my daughters in the process so they learn the value of giving back. Go to link in my bio and check out my Instastory for more information. I hope you join me during this season of giving! Share how you’re giving back with #DeliveringSmiles.

Do you know the story of me and my second daughter Tessa? She is named after my favorite saint, St. Therese of Lisieux. When I was in high school I was fortunate to attend World Youth Day in Paris where millions of young people gathered together on a spiritual pilgrimage. Since that trip I always felt a close connection with St. Therese “The Little Flower.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Fast forward many years I became a mom and life was far from ideal. My first daughter Elise exhibited signs of developmental delay and I was trapped in guilt, shame and sadness. I cried many nights and blamed God for putting so much hardship in my life when I felt I had been doing my best to live a Christian life, even if it meant accepting the calling of motherhood earlier than I wanted. Having a child when everyone else is still dating and building up their careers wasn’t easy and I had long ways to go before learning how to be a mother, wife and woman.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then she was born- this beautiful little soul whose birth was showered with roses. There are many miraculous stories of St. Therese showering people with roses from heaven when she hears and lifts up your prayer to the Lord and I received nothing but roses when she was born— at the hospital, at home, even at her baptism. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Tessa “Theresa Rose” is my rose from heaven, a sign that God has bigger plans for me.🌹⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I didn’t plan on having her at my baby shower yet things worked out where she was there, and I believe this is another sign from God that I’m on the right path. As I await the birth of my 3rd daughter I know she too, will come with so many miracles, signs and revelations. I know, because every child is not only a blessing but a miracle & message from heaven.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thank you for all your sweet messages and love. I know I’m blessed to have this platform to connect with you guys and I don’t take it for granted. I hope I can continue to share my honest motherhood stories to give you hope on your journey and remind you that those rough days are not the end of our story. ⁣⁣ Thank you for being here. #mommydiaryblog
