Motherhood Uncovered

This week of the year is special for me and my husband, the 8th is our wedding anniversary and we can also celebrate the national day of love along with it. The greatest love aside from our marriage has been having our boys. Today on Valentine’s Day we are at the baseball fields. Since we homeschool, my boys are using this opportunity to hand out a Valentine and a treat to their new teammates. My husband, Brad, (I’ll introduce him by name) is a sports fanatic and thrives coaching and leading while I prepare the snacks and drinks. These are the moments I have been so excited for since becoming a mother. I love that our family can get out of the house even on the days we may not feel like it. We have only been a part of this league for a year and we already feel like a part of the baseball community. It helps that Brad wants to be involved in coaching and this season was asked to be Tball commissioner. I am able to help him with my organizational skills and be in his ear with new ideas to aid the league. Our boys have formed many new friendships that will hopefully years. They both have friends on their teams and I’m sure are feeling comfortable now compared to being the new kid last spring. We currently are struggling to find a church family and another homeschooling family to be more social so this has been a light for us. It’s been a huge focus of mine for prayer requests that we stumble into long lasting friendships. It is hard to put yourself out there and I always say the introvert in me is most likely part of the issue. Brad is the opposite and is willing to talk wherever, whenever. He is the anchor that keeps us socialized! We live a life that is outcasted often in this world, between homeschooling and using traditional biblical based values. In my motherhood journey I am always seeking out how to live a Godly life and be that example for my children. It’s not often I find someone as passionate. Even if I haven’t found a good friend at this point, I am happy to see my boys bonding and growing friendships based on the values we’ve taught. I am a proud Mama!
