  3. STEM Games help calm students.
  4. STEM Games are fun!
  5. STEM Games teache students to be persistent!
  6. STEM Games promote critical thinking!

Growing up, my family didn’t have much but we had each other and it was EVERYTHING to me. ❤️

No matter how old we were, my mom always made sure to always order our favorite cake and sang to us as a family. Those memories are some of the best memories of childhood for me and I knew then that when I had my own family, I would do my best to create beautiful birthday memories with my babies.

Every day I am grateful to be a mom and continue to make small moments BIG and extraordinary with my kids. 

I pray that our baby girl continues to grow and blossom, know how loved she is, how beautiful she is on the inside and outside, and know that she is perfect just the way God made her. 

Happy Birthday, my love! We love you so much!!! 🎂🥳
