Welcome to "Faith, Family, and Freakouts": Where Laughter Meets Real Life!

Welcome, dear readers, to the brand new blog that's going to take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from side-splitting laughter to heartfelt tears. I am thrilled to introduce you to "Faith, Family, and Freakouts," a blog that dives headfirst into the joy, chaos, and occasional meltdowns that come with juggling faith, family, and the unexpected surprises life throws our way.


Now, you might be wondering, who is the mastermind behind this exciting adventure? Well, let me introduce myself. I am Hilary, a devoted single mom to five amazing kids and a firm believer in the power of Jesus. If you've ever experienced the delightful chaos of raising children or found solace in your faith, this blog is tailor-made for you.


Life as a single mom (or just mamahood) is an exhilarating ride, to say the least. Just when you think you have everything under control, a curveball comes hurdling your way, sending you into a temporary frenzy. But fear not, my friends, for we shall embrace those freakouts with open arms, knowing that we are not alone in our struggles.


On "Faith, Family, and Freakouts," we will dive deep into the beautiful mess that is parenthood. I'll share hilarious anecdotes of the mayhem that my adorable munchkins create, leaving you in stitches. But don't worry, it's not all laughter and giggles; we'll also explore the heartfelt moments, the tears shed, and the precious memories that make it all worthwhile.


As the name suggests, faith is an essential part of my life, and I believe it can be a guiding light in yours too. We'll explore the depths of faith, share inspiring stories, and find solace in the wisdom that comes from above. Together, we'll navigate the challenges of daily life, finding comfort in our shared experiences and the belief that there's a greater purpose to it all.


Now, let's address the elephant in the room—freakouts. Oh, those glorious moments when life throws us a curveball, and we're left flailing about like a fish out of water. Whether it's a mischievous toddler painting the walls with spaghetti sauce or an unexpected bill that puts a dent in our well-planned budget, we've all had our fair share of freakout-inducing moments. But fear not, my fellow freakers-out, for we shall conquer these challenges together, armed with humor, resilience, and a healthy dose of self-acceptance.


So, buckle up, dear readers, and get ready for a wild ride on the "Faith, Family, and Freakouts" express. We're going to laugh, cry, and everything in between. We'll share our triumphs and failures, our proudest moments, and our most embarrassing blunders. Through it all, we'll create a community where authenticity reigns supreme, and laughter is the best medicine.


I invite you to join me on this journey—a journey of faith, family, and all the glorious freakouts that make life beautifully unpredictable. Let's embrace the chaos, celebrate the wins, and find solace in knowing that we are never alone in this adventure called life.


Stay tuned and let the fun begin!


With love, laughter, and a touch of chaos,

Hilary

Embracing the Unexpected: My Unconventional Path to Faith, Family, and Freakouts

 Hello, dear readers! After the warm and wild welcome to "Faith, Family, and Freakouts," it's time for me to introduce myself fully. Buckle up because my journey has been anything but ordinary. So, grab a cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) and settle in as I share the twists and turns that have shaped me into the person I am today. Since we all live in a busy world and don't have all day to read this blog, I won't start ALL the way at the beginning, but I will start somewhere in my early twenties when I embarked on a quest for meaning and purpose. In the midst of soul-searching, I discovered an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. It was a transformative moment that ignited a fire within me and set me on a path of adventure, growth, and self-discovery. Driven by a toxic relationship and a restless spirit, I made a bold decision—I packed my bags, bid farewell to familiar faces, and set off for the sunny shores of Florida. It was a leap of faith, both figurativ...

Is it Bedtime Yet?

As I sat down, laptop in front of me, I began to ponder what my next blog post might be about. Well, it didn't take long to figure it out. It's the age-old question all moms ask themselves at least once a day.... is it bedtime yet?! No, really, is it bedtime yet? My ears are consistently being assaulted by statements like, "Mom, he hit me," or "I had that toy first."  And then there is the crying. SO much crying! I mean seriously, is it a full moon?  I have never related to a meme more at this moment than the one below.  As I creep my eyes over the top of the laptop, afraid, I will see fire surrounding me, I snap back into reality and come to the conclusion, I am over mom life today! Did I just admit that out loud? YEP, sure did! But, I know I am not alone and you all won't judge me....right?!? I was really hoping to make a meaningful post this evening, but for the sake of my sanity and to rescue the child, who looks like they are about to be body slamme...

For me, that calling came in the form of fostering. Today, I invite you into my world as I share the story of why I chose to become a foster parent—a decision fueled by the unwavering call of God and the deep desire to extend love to children who needed it most.

It was as if God, in His infinite wisdom, was beckoning me to open my home and my heart to little ones in need of love and stability. The Emotional Journey Choosing to become a foster parent is not a decision one makes lightly. It requires a willingness to embrace the unknown, navigate the comp...
