The Mary Poppins of our Christian Home

Since my husband was relocated for his job and is now in Florida we went for a visit. I can tell you that there is nothing like sitting on the dock watching the sun rise and set or the dolphins play in the bay. We are trying to do our fall bucket list and one was star gazing. Where better to do that than on the beach? We were walking searching for shells, crabs, and taking time to look at the stars. I can tell you that watching the waves come crashing on the shore and wiping the days fun away to leave a smooth clean shore was a great reminder of what our God does for us every day He wakes us up.

In 2016, my daughter started with headaches and as the mom I tried to find reasons for it. Contributed it to a hectic schedule with school, dance, band, long hours not enough sleep, not eating right, and needing her eyes checked. We went for an eye appointment and it turned out she did need glasses. Her headaches were better but never really went away, but on the same hand she still had a very busy schedule. She had headaches but they were never more than one a week and went away with headache medicine. Fast forward to Thanksgiving break 2017, we were in New York for the Macy's Day Parade where her dance studio was going to be part of the Spirit of America dance team. My daughter developed a horrible headache on Thanksgiving Day, again I contributed it to up early, breakfast on the go, excitement of the event, a busy & hectic s
