Hello @sweetsarcasm. I found you through @mikepm74's Fresh Five, of which I am also an alumni!
I'm commenting because what you are doing with your nieces and nephews is something that means a hell of a lot to me. I was raised in foster care after a pretty traumatic early childhood, and without my foster parents I don't know where I would be today. I owe so much to them for the free and enriching life that I am now able to live. What you are doing for these children is a truly wonderful thing. I look forward to following your blog.
A warm welcome to Steemit from me!
Thank you for sharing this with me. Someone changed my life as a teenager, I firmly believe that one person can make a world of difference. I'm glad someone was there for you, from this single message I can see you have a very kind heart. Thanks for the warm welcome.
