Dear Sister

About the Dear Sister Blog

Why the dear sister blog?  The short answer is, as a girl from the 80's, I was told, "You can do anything with your life." So, I got my degree in Chemistry and then my masters as a Physician Assistant. At the pinnacle of my career, I had to make a choice- Do I want to have a family? When I first became a mother, I really knew nothing of what it was like to raise a child. I was left trying to sift through all of the information from books, advice and google. I dealt with the shame of not doing things just as prescribed. I felt like a failure. Though I am a medical professional, it is a whole different ball game when I was trying to figure out how to take care of my own child.

 When my sister and sister-in-law became pregnant, this blog was a good way to not only impart my experiences to them, but to all moms. Dear sister is a safe haven for moms to receive encouragement and information without the guilt. My desire is for moms to find encouragement and purpose through biblical truth in the daily grind of taking care of the endless tasks that need to be accomplished. It is also a way to help moms to navigate any minor medical issues that arise. Being a mom myself, I know and relate to the mental drain and fatigue that happens from being sleep deprived and overtaxed. Dear sister is meant to help guide you through spiritual, physical and emotional needs of you and your family as you begin this crazy journey of family life.
