My neighbor, who just moved in 2 months ago, is awesome! My oldest daughter invited her to go to our church that meets in the Theater down the road, and since then has become a big part of our life. She started out by offering Art classes for the kids on Tuesdays, which has been great. She is fantastic with the kids, and very encouraging to them, also builds on their individual strengths. It has been wonderful. Then she overheard me saying I wasn't able to lift anything and offered to come help out with anything I might need with my hubby being gone. Well, today she came over and helped me out by pulling the boxes down in the garage so I could sit in a chair and go through the stuff that needed to be donated. What a huge help! The Christmas stuff is also no longer in the house! Yay! It was nice to get those outta here.
Instead of giving this stuff to the Salvation army, the church is having a fund raising garage sale for a trip to Kenya this July...so I am donating it for that. It will be nice to have the garage back, and it not be just a storage unit. Only thing left to do...J has some boxes to go through now, and E has a bunch of stuff in her room that we need to go through. I hope that is painless!

mommy blogger. As a mother that has suffered the loss of multiple children while becoming a mother of the bride to our oldest, raising 2 young adults, an 8 year old preemie and a 6 year old tornado, I have a lot to share. I can't guarantee you will agree with everything I say, but I think you may just enjoy it. This is our life, the good, bad and ugly.
