Hello World of beautiful Mothers out there and Happy Mother's Day (everyday is Mother's Day when you are a mom!)
My name is Rachel Tunsil and I was a first time mom when creating this site! Now I am a second time mom (third time including my step son)! Very excited and happy to add that to the many hats that I already wear. I have been married to the love of my life for since May 2007... and we dated for 4 years prior. He is my biggest fan and best friend and I am not just saying that. We have had many many ups and downs but the ups out weigh the downs and God has blessed us to keep on trucking!
I am a christian and I love my church and church activities, My husband and I are the youth ministries at my home congregation, I am also a self proclaimed author and I have to books on sale at amazon, I am also on youtube under Herbganic which is my hair channel and Fresh Clan which is my mommy vlogging channel. if you get a chance check them out. http://www.youtube.com/user/curlyt00/ I am so in love with naturally curly hair that I have a youtube channel dedicated to the education of naturally curly hair and http://www.youtube.com/user/naturalbeautyguru/ I currently have my cosmetology license and i make others more beautiful part-time. I love what I do an adding the mommy hat on top of being a wife and a business woman makes me ever so joyful!
I first found out I was pregnant on Sunday October 30th 2011...(check out my diary page for full details). Doug (my husband) and I had not been planning infact we had bought a house and had two cars but still had alot of debt we wanted to clear before adding to our family and we would have waited at lease two more years, but after losing my job I was forced to stop taking my birth control and I started taking prenatal viatmins for my hair and just incase I did get pregnant I heard folic acid during pregnancy was essential. We used the ovalation calculator monthly to "avoid" my fetile days and that went well for 6 months or so, but one night we slipped up and Baby Bishop was foreseen in God's own plan.
Finding out I was pregnant was very exciting for me, though we would have waited, to know it was happening now Doug and I couldn't be more happier...Though my hubby stresses over money much more now =)
I have had a few ups and downs during this pregnancy, emotions and first trimester pregnancy is the worst, but after that it was smooth sailing, I am blessed to be enjoying my weeks in pregnany now. I will document month b month pregnancy for your here and also a day in the life of a mom when baby gets here so stay tuned...... June 27th 2012 @ 9:27 am Bishop Arrived 6lbs, 1oz!!!!

The joys of being a mom came naturally, the ups and downs were welcomed. Then 14 months later in October 2013 (October again)
I found out a was pregnant (again) this time not as happy because this also was not planned and in my mind I wanted the children to be a little further apart in age. I was about to enter the terrible twos and I was sleep deprived. But God's will be done, at my six month check up I found out it was a healthy baby girl and it all changed. Now the excitement ran through my body. I day dreamed about her looks, her room, her cute clothes, mommy/daughter spa days etc.
Needless to say Doug and baby bishop were excited too. So Ra'el arrived July 3 at 10:27 at night weighing 6lbs and 6oz. Rough night, boy I felt those contractions.
Follow along with the blog to get more in-depth with the ups and downs.
