Author: Tamara Belanger

Mama of six grown kids, Nana to a magical little girl and a lilttle boy destined to climb mountains, divorced and broken for a purpose. An unabashed follower of Jesus. A social introvert, lover of all things travel and photography and cultures different than mine. I thrive on pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I love chocolate and wildflowers. I enjoy cooking and hiking and would live outdoors if I could have a claw foot bathtub with hot soapy water at the end of the day

The End of the Semester……

by Tamara BelangerUncategorizedPosted on December 18, 2015No Comments

The end.  Of the first school semester of my girls’ career and I look at her and marvel.  She walks tall and graceful through the halls.  She has gathered, for herself, a group of friends that want to be her friend as much as she wants to be theirs.  It is her community and I …

It’s Christmastime……

It’ll be different this year for Naomi and I.  Very different.  No daughters, save my girlie, will be here.  My Montana boy has already made the trek his budget will allow for this holiday time.  My two boys, one so close to leaving for the next year I can feel him starting to slip away …
