Perusing FamilySearch after having updated some family records that needed merging, and found out that Maude de Braose is a many-times great grandmother to me. She was super influential in Welsh history, so I am pretty excited! #genealogy #ancestry #familyhistory

Do you ever just pray that people will see your child’s worth in whatever it is they are participating in? I just want my kid to have a good experience the last 2 years of high school. Can the universe please just make that happen? I know there’s life after school, but I worry the most about her.

Random thought but I saw a commercial just now and it was advertising the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight. Who do you think is going to win that?

Middle daughter is visiting and brought her brand new puppy, and our bulldog Maggie is feeling cheated of all the attention. ❤️ They are both super cute. Puppy is named Kirby.

#Genealogy I am fascinated by family history. I have 2 people on different sides of the family who have done a lot of genealogy work, but I don't know some of the rest of our story. With the help of FamilySearch, they've got stuff back to 690 and before. Tips for newbies to this? It is overwhelming.

Hey there. Newbie to Bluesky because the other sites are terrible and someone suggested this one. It's been very refreshing today to see good content and people who aren't awful. I'm a Texan, and a small blue dot in red west Texas. It's been a rough week as a mom to 3 daughters.
