Hello and thanks for stopping by!  My name is Terri Ward.  I am a child of God, a wife of 24 years, a mom to two rock star kids, and a stay-at-home mom of 22 years turned empty-nester.

My thought with this blog is to share some of the valuable lessons I learned from watching my kids grow to adulthood and leave the nest.  I have never been accused of  keeping my mouth shut so one big goal is not to offend anyone.  LOL.  Please know I speak with love in my heart and truth on my tongue (at least my truth).  I have made SO many mistakes and I’m sure I will continue to do so.  My kids turned out pretty fabulous but only by God’s grace.  I want to be real vulnerable here and hopefully be a kind ear, a shoulder to cry on, or maybe a little encouraging to someone struggling with the mom thing or the empty nest thing.

I recently started using Young Living Essential Oils and infused products and now I can’t stop talking about them…..life changing stuff!!  I also love to share about getting harmful chemicals out of the home and other natural health topics.  I am still on this journey myself, taking one step at a time and moving day by day to a healthier way of living.  So I will be talking a little about these things as well.  🙂
