Single

I now have a new identity. I am now officially a single mom. This is something I have never been before and never dreamed I would be. The Judge signed the divorce papers on May 13. I found out on May 14. So now the adventure starts. What should I do with this new life of mine? I have a new pathway to find and follow. One thing I am certain of is I know my Heavenly Father loves me and will help me. I know that I can and will make it in this new chapter of my life. I am looking and asking for guidance in which direction I should go.

Kids are so Funny!!

Last night I was putting the kids to bed and Chanse said "Mama. I am going to put my tooth under my bed. And then in the morning see what happens. OK?" I was very confused because he has not had a loss tooth yet. So he didn't have a real tooth to even put under his pillow. I just smiled and said "OK."

This morning I went to get him out of bed and with a big smile he lifted his pillow and said "Look what happened!!" So I looked and to my surprise there was a pile of change under his pillow. I just laughed. I guess he duped the Tooth Fairy with a fake tooth. But I think he was playing he was the Tooth Fairy last night. He has the best imagination.

Starting Anew

I am now embarking on a new adventure, starting a new life. I recently moved back home to sunny CA with my three kids and we are living with my parents. I moved back home from Henderson, NV because I am going through a divorce which was not my choice. At this moment in life I am mostly single. But, Miracle Max can't fix this one. I love my kids and I am loving life despite of what is going on. It is an adventure living in a house with 4 generations in it. But it is great for the kids to be so close to grandparents and their great grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins. It is lots and lots of fun. And truly a blessing to have a loving family.

I have decided I am starting my new blog for my new life as a single mom of 3. I love everything strawberry and lots of people have called me sunshine. I have been a ray of light and joy to many. When I was in Kindergarten I had my adenoids out and tubes put in my ears because I couldn't hear. I always had ear infections. When I came home from the hospital my mom was making strawberry jello and I ran around the house saying "What is that? what is that?" I ended my search with my nose in the strawberry jello. So not only could I not hear well but I couldn't smell and no one knew that. The first thing I smelled was strawberries. Strawberries have been my favorites ever since. When I was in High School one of my best friends and I formed a band and it was the Strawberry Sunshine Band and don't laugh but we couldn't play a single instrument. But we had an international fan club. Then when I went to college at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho I majored in fashion design. I wanted to make a clothing line named Strawberry Sunshine Brand. I am so original to go from band to brand. HA HA HA!! Now I am in search for what to do with my new life and Strawberry Sunshine reminds me of where I come from and who I am.

Have a Strawberry Sunshine Day!!
