Happy Birthday to Johnny!

Johnny is 9

This kid... this kid is 9 years old today. My mind always goes back to the time when we were trying to get pregnant; the years I wondered if we were ever going to be blessed with a child together. I prayed for this boy. I begged God to give me the chance to be a mom. After years of trying, the day came that I was able to take a pregnancy test and it actually come back positive.

Walmart Family Mobile for Back to School #shop

Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. See why I think that my son should have #Phones4School. I feel like a hypocrite.

He has … [Read more...]

One of the most rewarding things I have found in my life as a mother is seeing the presence of God in my kids' lives. This past weekend was one of those moments where I was able to see it very brightly. Johnny made his First Communion on Saturday. He was dressed up and looking so handsome. Seeing his love for Jesus has been such an amazing thing for me. Watching him pray, sing his love, and be … [Read more...]

Minecraft Creeper Cake

May 2 by Stefany 2 Comments

creeper cake

Johnny's birthday was Easter Sunday so we decided to celebrate a day early. I wanted to make his day extra special so I made him a cake from his favorite game, Minecraft. I will be honest in that I don't know much about the game but he talks about Creepers and I found that easy enough to draw so this is what I made.   This was a very easy cake to make. I used a white whipped icing … [Read more...]
