I am a Mom with a View. :) I'm happily married to my husband, Josh, of 19 years. We have FIVE sweet, beautiful kiddos. My husband works in full-time ministry, and I have always enjoyed helping him! Our life is crazy, it's busy, and I love it. This blog will be filled with topics that are passionate to me.
