About Me


I'm Rob's wife and mom to Erik, Isaac, Ian and Noah and mother-in-law to Esther. I am a missionary with G.O. Ministries and a Christ follower. I'm a bit of a cat woman, although I'm not sure how that happened, and a writer. (You can find some of my published work in several publications, including: Home Life, Just Between Us, Parenting on the Peninsula, Highlights for Children, Adoptive Parenting, Education.com, Asburyonline.com, and in the books Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul and Chicken Soup for the Soul Devotional Stories for Mothers.)

My first goal in writing this blog, I admit, is a bit selfish. I'm writing it to help me process, capture and embrace life here in the Dominican Republic. My other goal is to give you a snapshot of life in the D.R. and remind you of truth and the source of truth.

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as a sweet, ripe mango.
