“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”

Hello, I am Sami and welcome to my blog.  For a few weeks now, I have been feeling some really big "growth spurts" inside of me.  I am 30 something wife, mom/stepmom who has always put her children first.  As of this year one of our sons will become an adult, two of our children will become teens and one will become a preteen.  While I will continue to make my children a priority I must put my husband and our marriage first.  I will also focus on bringing the woman within me out.  I look forward to this new chapter in my life in order to watch our children grow into responsible adults, to love and cherish my husband and to be the beautiful, confident woman God created.  Please join me in my journey and always feel free to comment, offer advise, or just say hello!
