Motherhood and Adoption

May 6, 2013

This week is Mother’s Day week.  As you can imagine, it has been a hard one for me (already).  My mom passed away 6 months ago, so this will be my first Mother’s Day without my mom.  I think about her constantly and miss her more than words can say.  I have 3 children of my own and try to be the best mom that I can be to them every single day.  Motherhood is definitely a journey and I learn something new every day.

I really enjoyed watching this touching video.  As we all know, motherhood comes about in many different ways in this day and age.  Adoption is a beautiful option for some families.  There are situations where a woman cannot have a child of her own, or sometimes she chooses not to.  Other times a woman may not be able to raise a child that she has given birth to.  In both of these scenarios, adoption has been or can be the perfect solution.

The Oxygen channel has a television series that focuses on the topic of adoption.  You can view previous episodes at http://www.oxygen.com/baby.  The second season of their show called “I’m Having Their Baby” will be premiering on the Oxygen channel Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 10 o’clock eastern, 9 o’clock central time.  The show will  open your eyes to the beautiful and heartwarming journey of adoption.  



I hope that this weekend you will celebrate Mother’s Day with your mom, children, husband, and extended family.  Hug your mom and tell her how much you love and appreciate her!

    I know this week must be so hard for you Stacie. I hope you find comfort in knowing that the blog you started in memory of your mother is bringing happiness to Tiara every day that she receives a card. I think losing a Mother is beyond hard. Hope you can enjoy your week with your beautiful children. xoxo

GRWM: Drugstore makeup and skincare products that GRWM: Drugstore makeup and skincare products that are budget friendly for everyone. I used only L’Oreal products today for this natural makeup look.

Did you notice that I dabbed the bold color lipstick on my lips for more of a stain effect because I’m not comfortable with a bold lip during the day. And then I used that same lipstick for my blush. Multitasking products save time and money.🙌🏻

I normally use black mascara, but wanted to give this brown shade a try. Personally, I’m not a fan and will stick with my black mascara in the future.

That’s the fun part about makeup. Experimenting can be fun. Don’t you agree?

This lip mask does all the work while you sleep to stimulate collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production for smoother more hydrated lips that will look fuller over time.

It’s powered by peptides and backed by science.💖

Are you ready to say goodbye to dry lips?
