A Mom On a Mission

Hello Friends!

A long standing family friend, Kim Keeton, has recently been diagnosed with liver and colon cancer. Her family was hit pretty hard with this news and we are working to help support them any way we can!

They have made a page to stay up to date on her battle and progress and are starting an email list. So, please sign up using the website link here or pm myself or her brother Mike Haynes if you would like to sign up or have any help or support to offer.

They have set up a GoFundMe to help with the massive financial burden this will place on her family and a Meal Train to help with providing dinners as she is not currently well enough to cook. Those links are below:

GoFundMe - https://gofund.me/98ae1189
Meal Train - https://mealtrain.com/wl8280

I know times are tough and everyone is tigh on money so any amount helps. I know I’ll be adding a few extra meals to my meal planning to freeze and bring over. As a mother, this small thing can really help when you are tired, sick and out of energy. Even a like, share or comment of encouragement can help the algorithm and get this out to more people. Let’s come together for our community as best we can and see what we can do!

Help feed Kim's family dinner while she battles cancer.

Not. Every day is easy, but these days are worth it.

Is this what working from home looks like? 😄

Honestly it’s a blessing but sometimes it can be challenging to get everything done with little ones running around.

Does anyone else’s toddler wait until the second they are on the phone to sound like Stevie from that family guy clip… “mom, mom, mommy, mom…” then you hang up and it’s “love you 😁”

😐😂

Wouldn’t change it for the world. 🥰

A year off and this feels fitting. A year brings a lot. Growth. Success. Tears.

Some days we feel like we’re and others it’s a struggle to keep the kids alive and our spirits above ground. We have days filled with smiles and nights filled with silent cries, glasses of wine and prayers for better days ahead.

A lot can happen in a year. Where are you at mama? I’m here. I see you. Let’s do this together.

Having my youngest son was such a surprise, but he has healed our hearts and filled our life with such joy! 💛

Motherhood isn't easy, pregnancy can suck (lol) but oh man is it worth it! .

Having experienced a miscarriage felt like I was drowning and knowing what not taking care of youself can cost has put me on the path I am on, so I am grateful for that. .

Days are easier, but I think about it every single day. I did something with that pain and making sure that it meant something. That it had a purpose! I make each count now, for myself and for my family!

MAKE TODAY COUNT.

It's no secret that the last year has been hard on most and those who live with mental health have been challenged.

With May acting as Mental Health Awareness Month, there is a lot of publicity around the stigma and resources for those who need support.

Let’s talk about:

💙 Checking in with yourself and how you are feeling…

💙 Checking up on dad..

💙 Reaching out...

and more. I also want to give a warning to those in the spotlight wanting to guide others to getting help.
