Hi there! Welcome to Disciple Mom! I'm so glad you're here. Before we go any further, I thought you should meet my family since they will be the main cast of characters for most of the stories you'll find here.
ME (Nicole)
First, let me introduce myself. I'm Nicole, and I'll be the primary author for all the posts you'll read. We may have a guest writer from time to time, but for the most part, you got me! Nice to meet you! :) I'm a wife and mommy and a follower of Jesus. I'm not perfect - FAR from it. I hope in reading this blog, you'll see that. My goal is to be real and transparent in everything I post. I promise I will not try to appear perfect in an effort to impress you, but I will also not hold back in bragging on God and all that HE'S done in my life. A little about me…I LOVE Jesus! He's my best friend. My second best friend is my hubby. You'll meet him in a minute. He's my high school sweetheart, and I've loved him since I was 14. I am a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful children, whom you'll also meet soon; and I love almost every minute of it. :) I've wanted to be a stay-at-home as long as I can remember, and it's more difficult and more wonderful than I ever imagined. I'm a redeemed perfectionist, meaning I have a tendency toward perfectionism but I'm learning to cut myself some slack because of God's grace. I'm learning to allow Him to set the standard, not me. In my spare time (hahaha), I enjoy organizing, party planning, blogging, and catching up with friends.
HUBBY/DAD
This good-looking man is my hubby and the daddy of my 3 beautiful kiddos. He is kindest, most patient man I know. He is truly my best friend. I tell him all the time that he's "my favorite." He's silly, but he doesn't show that side of him to just anyone. He's pretty laid back and easy-going. He's the calm to my chaos. He is an amazing father. When he's home, you won't find him sitting in front of the TV; you'll find him wrestling with the boys or bathing our little princess or doing the dishes or anything else he thinks will bless his family. He is a sports fan and enjoys playing golf when he can get away.
SHUGI
This handsome boy is our first-born. When he was a baby, I called him Sugar Booger or Sugar. Somewhere along the way, it evolved into Shugi. He turned three in July. The picture above was taken almost a year ago, but I love it because I can just see his sweet little spirit in his eyes and his grin. He is my tender-hearted, lovable boy. He's acutely empathetic and compassionate, recognizing and responding to others' emotions in ways that often surprise us. He is 50% silly and 50% serious. He is very friendly and kind. He has quite the imagination; and while he does love playing in the dirt and swinging on his swing set, he would often rather be inside using his imagination. He loves reading and playing with his stuffed animals.
TAREE
This precious darling is our baby boy, our middle child. He got his nickname from his brother. When Taree was born, Shugi was only 22 months old and couldn't pronounce his name. So, he called him Taree, and it stuck! Taree is our lively, adventurous one. He is curious and observant, passionate and independent. He is so playful and makes us laugh everyday. Whether digging in the dirt, playing in the water hose, or just walking around the back yard, he loves being outside. He also loves to dance and takes great delight in having his family dance around the playroom with him.
PRINCESS
This little beauty is our baby girl. She was born in July, and we are all head over heels for her. Her brothers are two of her biggest admirers. She really is the Princess in our house. She is a peaceful, happy baby with the sweetest little smile. She has just started really smiling readily, and it melts my heart. Compared to my boys at this age, she seems so dainty and girly. I can't wait to watch her personality develop and her interests emerge, as she grows into the young lady God created her to be.
So, that's it. That's our crew. I hope you'll come back and visit us often. We have lots to share with you! :)
