I don't know who needs to hear this, but most of you are gonna decide you're done having kids when they're still little--when their needs are endless and you can't remember why you wanted kids in the first place. Trouble is, it's years too soon. Because it'll be years before you

Late posting—but the kid we didn’t know we needed turned nine last week. Hard to believe he’s my baby. The end. The last one. “Fin” and “finale” aptly named Finnan for an obscure Scottish saint, with no idea he would be the last. Thank God for this kid. It’s amazing I had to

I don’t care if it’s still lent. I’m celebrating tonight—number three son got the dream job offer today—the type they say you won’t get if you get married at 19 and have a baby right away. It’s not a flashy job—it’s a rock solid opportunity with an incredible company in

What happens when you marry a widower—and you’re blessed to raise the sweetest 9-year old girl when you’re only 23? Before you’re 50 her own sweetest 9-year old girl will call you “grandma” and put on a special dress because you got there on her birthday. My own life story

20-year-old Derrick Byrd charges back into a raging house fire to rescue his 8-year-old niece, suffering severe burns on his face, arms, and back. His words? "I'd do it again—even if I got burnt worse or died." True heroism! 🔥❤️
