In my last blog, I shared our recent drama as we moved our family from Maryland to North Carolina. I made an attempt to draw you into my blog with the catchy title, Homeless with 5 Kids. So dramatic I know! The title may feel a little insensitive to those who have experienced the real […]
Homeless with 5 Kids
Three weeks ago my life was turned upside down. We found ourselves homeless with 5 kids and limited options. Some of the chaos I saw coming so I had time to prep mentally. Some of it happened in a flash and all I had time for was the real, raw, immediate emotional reaction. We are a military […]
