I met a little boy named Marcos eight years ago. God used him to put a calling on my life that would be my daily driving force: to advocate for, fight for, and love orphaned and vulnerable children as my own. The calling that God put on my life on that fateful day at an orphanage in Guatemala has driven me each and every day, though it definitely has not led me where I thought it would. Despite our change in location, God's call for our family to care for vulnerable children has been ... Read More about Offering our Family for Foster Care: Let’s Change the Dialogue
Boo Boos, Bandaids, & Secure Attachment
I suppose scraped knees come with the territory of being a boy mama, and with spring in full swing, it will become a common occurrence for the Roberts tribe.

Our family isn't new to spiritual attacks. We have always seen a ... Read More about The Battle for Our Children is Real
A Roaring Fun Three-Rex Birthday Party
I love planning birthday parties. I know that may make me over the top, but I start looking for ideas on Pinterest six months in advance. It is a creative outlet for me, and a way that I can show my love for my kids. That said, while looking at said blogs on Pinterest to plan my kids' birthdays, I never thought I would write one of those said blog posts. However, having gleaned lots of ideas from others, I felt it worthwhile to share Auggie's third birthday party with my readers. Being ... Read More about A Roaring Fun Three-Rex Birthday Party
