Who is Mookie?
Goofy. shy. Compassionate. socially awkward.
Wife, Mother & Friend. That’s me, Mookie! My life is filled with smiles, tears and more laughter then one can take in a lifetime. It’s the laughter that carries me through all the ups and downs that come with living this life. Life is hard but I’ve learned that laughter can bring light to the darkest days. I’m living in a very unique but common season. I’m a wife and a mother of 3 young children. I’m a social worker and my work days are emotionally heavy. And being a mother is no easy task. I cry, I yell and some days I feel like I am completely under water. But it’s those days when I fall out laughing because my son smeared his poop all over his chair or because my oldest farted in line at the store and it smelled so bad all I could do was laugh. It’s those days when I laugh all the way to work because I found what appeared to be a booger on my car door. I have to laugh because my sanity depends on it, my happiness depends on it, my world depends on it.
That’s what Three Armed Mom-ster is all about, sharing my laughter and the teachable moments that come along with it.
I pray that my stories make you smile, laugh out loud and walk away feeling better then you did before.
I have a growing passion for Christ. I was raised in the church. I accepted Christ as my savior at a very young age. However, due to my choices during my teen years & throughout early adulthood I found myself moving further and further away from Christ. It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my daughter, face down begging for God’s grace that I realized just how desperate I was for Jesus.
My passion and my purpose is to share the love and grace I found in Christ with as many souls as I can. I pray that through transparency and humor I can not only share the joy of Christ but save souls along the way…
MEET THE COMPANY!!!!
PapaBear
Funny. Affectionate. Logical. Protector.
My Soul Mate
Papa and I have been married for 10 years. I was a 19 year old college student, waiting tables at a Dallas restaurant when we met. Prior to us dating, he told me I would be his wife one day...You can imagine how hard I laughed at his failed pick up line…but eventually we did begin to date. He swept me off my feet with his charm and affection. A year into our relationship we conceived Jaden. We married 2 months prior to Jaden’s first birthday on January 18, 2008.
I am grateful for Papa. I have never gone without since he has been in my life. He is my very own comedian, body guard, ATM machine, handy man and my very best friend.
Papa and I have been through a lot. Our relationship may have started as a fairy tale but by no means have our marriage been a story book romance. However, our love for one another is strong and our commitment to what GOD brought together is even stronger.
JBoogey
Outgoing. Friendly. Loving.Talented.
My Strength
JBoogey! My oldest child and biggest life lesson. God has taught me so much from being his mother. Humility, forgiveness, patience and strength I never knew I had. God never makes mistakes and He meticulously orders our lives in a way that allows us to learn the things we need the most to carry us through any season of our lives. I am grateful for the love I receive from Boogey. His heart is pure and he has a burning desire for Christ that makes my soul smile…
JayceFace
Witty. Outspoken. Bright. Curious.
My Rainbow
I can’t put in words my relationship with JayceFace. From conception, I have felt an indescribable bond with him. His presence in my life reminds me of Genesis 9:16 “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
He was the rainbow God sent after a storm in our marriage…through his conception, I learned that God can mend any relationship, any broken heart.
I often stop and stare at JayceFace because he reminds me of how far I have evolved as a person. With every passing glance, I see God’s love. I see His grace. I see His hope.
JournJourn
Feisty. Independent. Bold. Resilient.
My Faith
Journ was our heavenly surprise! She amazes me every day with her tough but sweet attitude. She has taught me the power of prayer and faith. Through her presence, I’ve learned the power in the name Emmanuel, God is with us. His hands have been placed over her since she was inside of me. There’s something special about Journey, there’s a story in her name and a testimony in her eyes that will bring hell to its knees…
Emmanuel walks with her, He talks to her and He will continue to be her guiding light.
CoCo Chanel
Unruly. Untrained. Unreliable. Un-Everything
My Nerves
Coco Chanel is the newest member of our family. I was somehow conned into getting her. Of course, I am the only one who cares for her most of the time and we really don’t like each other. I am waiting on God’s teachable moment for having her in my life…
So far, I haven’t learned anything.
