Want to Know How to Get A Kid to Brush Their Teeth?

This toothbrush is funny. It talks and sings. Andrew using it is sort of funny too.

1st Day of School 2019 for these three cutie sibs. 6th grade, 4th grade and 1st! They are all three at the same school and this year, this day seemed easy. There was a natural flow, joy and I could feel the love they had for each other, their friends, community and school. I am happy for them! We’ve done it all - homeschool, public school, homeschool/private school in one (where it was two days at school and three days home), preschool, kindergarten at a church, and now all three at the same private elementary school. I just want to encourage someone out there that they are all good! We have enjoyed, learned and grown from all of the different ways they have been schooled so far. You know what works best and you know what works best for your family during each time/season financially, socially, emotionally, all the things. I pray this generation rises above all the rest. That our ceiling would be their floor. That they can teach us about how to put down electronics and be present. And I know they will teach us all the rest too, no matter how they are schooled. Cause they are awesome! And they’ve got so much to teach us all! 2019-2020 here we come.

Summer vibes. #annabelfaith

Last year I lost all the photos I had of my sweet Andrew from age 0-5, today I found on an iPad 87,000 pictures that were taking up so much storage that we couldn’t download games for an upcoming trip. I don’t know where they came from, if they were always there, or what but I am very thankful! Look at this picture of my sweet Andrew at 1 years old, we had such special time together just him and I while Alex was working long hours in medical school and residency. #mamasboy #lovehim #andrew #babypics

Happy Mother’s Day to the best Mom and Nana in the world! 😘

To the woman who gave my son life; from your womb he was born a gorgeous and handsome young boy. I don’t know you and yet I love you, every day I love you. With every fiber of my being I love you. Your son is a treasure, he is such joy and love and light. He is a world changer and I tell you that daily being trained up, age five in this picture and nine now. Where has the time gone? My sweet boy, your sweet boy, he is joy and delight. You, birthmother, are a gift and joy. When I look at him I see you. Your curly eyelashes, your delightful laugh, your gorgeous black skin and soft brown eyes and warm welcoming smile. I imagine all these things and more. Thank you Jesus for this gift I have to raise this extraordinary young man on this earth and thank you birthmother for everything. All that I know and all that I do not know. I pray for you. I love you. I think of you. Someday whether here on earth or in heaven one day, we will meet, and I will run to give you the biggest hug. You are joy. And I love you. xx #birthmom #birthmothers #africaadoption #adoptionbuiltus #love #mothersday 📷: Tiarra Sorte
