5 Steps from Empty Nest to Contentedness

2016/11/0 Comments/in Healthy Families /by Shauna Blaak

Have you ever woken up and wondered, “Whose life is this?” It’s been that kind of a year for me. I am the mom of four of the cutest little babies you can even imagine! Cute and cuddly, and they give the best hugs. They’re gorgeous!

Except… oh, wait! They aren’t babies anymore! Overnight, they’ve become teenagers! Fourteen, fifteen, eighteen, and twenty (next week). How did this happen? I finally mastered the art of raising toddlers and managing homework―I’m not ready for teenagers to leave home and head for college.

Have you been there?

The TERRIBLE First

2016/09/2 Comments/in Family Traditions, Healthy Families, Living Overseas /by Shauna Blaak

So today marks another first for us. Today is Raelynne’s 20th birthday and it is the first time we won’t be there to celebrate it. How terrible! (For those who don’t know, she is currently on the other side of the planet attending Hillsong College in the TV & Media Program.) I have NEVER missed […]
