"Hello, this is my family of five. We're not the perfect family and I'm definitely not the perfect mother or wife. We are still learning and growing. Yes, we have had our share of ups and downs, so we know the challenges and the joy that comes with life. Life is a gift among many gifts, but doing life well takes intentional work. My goal is to share the tools that have helped me as a woman, wife, and mother in hopes that it blesses and encourages you." - Lourie
