Semillas de Amor (Seeds of Love)

Semillas de Amor has an uprising on our hands! The little ones have outgrown their cribs, they have been in them since birth, and some of the kids are 5 years old. They have demanded beds and like any good mama I am helping them to get beds. However, unlike most moms I need to [...]

Celebrations are an important part of childhood. Celebrations build family memories. The children at Semillas de Amor do not have “typical families”.

At Semillas de Amor we work hard to make sure our kids don’t miss out on family events and important memories.  Being a family of 25 just makes organization a bit more challenging but so much fun.  This year’s celebration was very special because we had our volunteer Mrs. Joyce with us and she had [...]
