About Us

 

My adventure as a single parent started seven(7) years ago. It was not a choice, but it happened just like that. Losing my husband and father of my children was the most painful journey that I took. I am doing this page to inspire, encourage, and pray for those single parents out there who are thriving to become better parents. I hear you.

For me, being a parent is a journey of the heart that requires a lot of intentionality and teachable moments. This page will tell you all the ups and downs of becoming a purposeful parent for this generation. I want to be honest and real about the struggles I face every day. As a small family, we want our homes to be a place of security, growth, and belongingness.

 

  “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” -Proverbs 20:5-
