Being in social media means always being in a fast paced world.  Networking, socializing, anything you can think of, all happening at the same time.  I never thought in the 4 years that I blogged anonymously that I would ever do it publicly; let alone make real friendships.  I started publicly blogging in Nov. 2009 and immediately things were different, I was me!  No longer hiding, I was open and it felt great.
This year has brought so many different challenges in my life, as a Mother, a Wife and as an adult.  I have lost Faith in many people, met new friends, lost loved ones, and been through what many have described as H.E “double hockey sticks”.  Many times I have not thought I could make it through certain things, of which I will gladly blog about in the future.

Do you want to know something?  I had never in my life witnessed as much love and support from strangers as I have since blogging.  I am so thankful for the beautiful friendships I have made, with people I have never even met in real life!  Especially this week, we have been going through some major problems with my Daughter and her abusive teacher. this is a previous post regarding the issue.   and you can also catch snippets of rants on my FB page during this week.  I will indeed write a post about it, I just have not been able to control my emotions enough to deal with it just yet. I posted just a tiny bit of emotions regarding my Daughter, without even saying the real horror that happened, and the support and love I received from friends that I have only known through blogging was overwhelming.  My CB Family has also been there for me, and always full of love 😉

I was not trying to make this too long, I wanted to come by and share with my new readers/friends that I am grateful and appreciate everyone of you for being a part of my life, and thank you to my older friends/readers for always being there for me.  I can never thank you enough for showing me such immense love and care.
You are all proof that real friends aren’t the ones you go have a drink with, real fiends are the ones that are constantly there with love, support, encouragement, even if you don’t post for 2 weeks at a time 😉

I love you all from the bottom of my heart, and I thank you for being there for me 😉
To end this on a good note, I want to thank Valerie from “Let’s just give it away”  for featuring me as

    That is truly what I love about blogging. It’s so awesome to have online friends with the same interests, same values….and even the same struggles. Hope you are feeling better!

Follow us, we're fun!

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
