My Recent Gifts

Me and My Family

I am a mother of three boys, a step daughter and two stepsons. I have been married for eight years and had to go through some adjustment periods. Now that the kids are getting older...there is a whole new set of worries. A parents job is never done! I enjoy writing and started again after many years of trying to figure out what I want to be. Feel free to stop by my BLOG...I write inspirational advice, post pictures and weekly updates lisapetrarca.blogspot.com

We are a big sports family. The kids play football, basketball, run track, and surf. My husband coaches and I help him out whenever I have a free moment, which needless to say, with all the running around between sports, it isn't as often as I would like.

I feel I have a lot of experience in raising kids and stepchildren and hope that my advice and/or experiences will be beneficial to other moms.

Here's An Award For You!

Comment Published at 23:2523:250 comments0 comments11 Visits11 VisitsReport

Today I was checking my comments and was surprised to receive an award from Gaelikaa. This was such an honor because Gaelikaa is an amazing person. She writes about her life in India, which fascinates me...it really makes you realize how blessed we are here in America.

Here's My Award

The assignment is- a)Write a few lines on how happy you are.

b) Pass it on to as many bloggers you can think of:

My Answer:

I'm happy because I am blessed with an amazing husband and family. Even though money is tight, I am the richest person in the whole world! The Lord has truly blessed me!

We all need to take some time each day to remember the important things in our life...the things that bring us true happiness.

I want to pass this award on to YOU and:

AMY

JANAE

KC Mom

...love Maegan

ROBBIE

I hope you will all enjoy thinking about what makes you happy!

Be sure to stop by this post by Robbie

...scroll down and read this

"Great Faith (part 2 of 7)".

This should be embedded in our bathroom mirrors to read each and every morning. Whether your married or not...THIS IS A MUST READ!

Must See "Kodak Father of the Year Video!

Comment Published at 22:2622:260 comments0 comments7 Visits7 VisitsReport

MUST SEE~Kodak Father of the Year Video~  My dad is a finalist! Kodak sent my sister a free camera and said to shoot some footage, which she titled "Super Cop." They will be picking a winner and here's where you come in...my dad is batteling inoperable 4th Stage Lung Cancer and if he wins he will be given an all expense paid vacation. This will be a much needed and deserved break from his chemo treatments. I need you to stop by and just watch it. If some of you can post the link so your friends can also watch it, I think he may win! I KNOW he deserves it...he is still working 2 JOBS while fighting this! He is the FATHER OF THE YEAR!!

Thank you Minti Family for all your support!
