She now owns a store and organizes a vintage expo and numerous other events, not to mention the personal styling she does. She is one together and amazing woman!

    My sister inspires me. As of this week, she is a published author… no small feat! She’s a great wife, mom, friend, sister, public speaker… and now author! Her book is geared for the busy Christian mom and is all about getting organized in your home, which in turn results in a more clutter-free and peaceful spirit. God is using her in mighty ways to touch the hearts of fellow mamas!
    ps- I’m expecting baby #3 and my due date is tomorrow. What a perfect giveaway!

    This past Tuesday we went in for our first prenatal appointment at 10w6d and found a baby with no heartbeat. This morning I had a D&C. My friend Laura has uplifted and inspired and encouraged me all week; she lost a son at 22 weeks last year and the way that she has clung to God and grown closer to Him through her loss has helped me immensely to get through these awful days. I will get through this, I will grow in it, and a tiny pair of leggings (and precious fox bag) would help me hold onto my hope that I will become pregnant again and carry a sweet baby to term next time.

    I had a really hard struggle with a colicky baby for many months. This sounds so ridiculous but all I wanted was someone who sympathized with me, and told me all of what I was experiencing was challenging. I felt like a big wimp. This sweet neighbor made me feel so much better. She has four kids and challenges of her own, but she made me feel validated and uplifted me. Now I need to write her a note and tell her thanks. She is a blessing in my life.

    I have a few friends that inspire me. They are my husband and both of my children. My husband is my best friend, and always encourages me to do what I want. My son loves anything mommy makes him, and loves showing off the new stuff she makes. My daughter is always wanting different things I haven’t made before, thus encouraging me to try to make something new.

Not only is she an active professional lawyer, but she opened her own business doing wedding coordination. After planning her own wedding, she enjoyed the process so much she decided to help other brides relax and enjoy their wedding day! Everyday she is busy and non stop, but never once complains! I always said I wish I could be as smart as her, and as motivated.

    There are so many women in my life who inspire me, but my daughter is the most inspiring person I know. She has faced severe bullying at school (mostly because she is a Christian, which makes her different) and she handles it with grace daily. She chooses to hold her head up high and stay true to herself rather than to succumb to the pressures of girls who are only trying to deter her from walking with Christ. She is my greatest gift. She holds the key to my heart and soul. The fox pouch would be gifted to her, as she is a devout animal lover. I would gift those cute leggings to my new baby cousin(: Thanks for inspiring your readers! Susan

Their hearts were broken when an adoption fell through, but the very next month accepted a foster placement – a teenage girl. That’s brave! And now they are loving this girl like she’s their own. Such huge and brave hearts, knowing that the foster children will only be theirs to love for a little while. But they go all out regardless!
