"I think we recognize as Americans there are certain things that are just primary to the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy here and religious freedom is one of the most important things we as Americans cherish"

-Ann Romney

Our Founding Fathers made many sacrifices in creating and signing the Constitution.  Their intent was to protect our liberties and they took great care in creating our government in a way that would support and honor the Constitution. It is disheartening to see the the checks and balances system, created to ensure that no individual or group has too much power, be disregarded by so many in power.

My heart aches for all of those who lost loved ones in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting. We should feel safe sending our children off to school each morning. 

 

 What can we do to make sure this never happens again? 

 

I back our government as they work to come up with a solution to ensure the safety of students and teachers at school.   #keepourchildrensafe #prayforparkland

Share your story!

  Don't underestimate the power your experiences can have in someone else's lives.

Truth is truth!

Questions are good, but are we seeking out answers in the right places?

As a parent you know what is best for your kids,

 don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Your kids need YOU!

Be you

Yes! I think I've found a new family motto.  

I want nothing more than to raise kids that have the courage to embrace who they are to stand for what they believe in.  Be you!
