I've been raising one kid who is now 14. Her situation, from day one, is unlike any other. Our situation can't be compared to raising Cora or compared to someone else in her classroom. It is our own and different, I've accepted that. I can tell you, starting all over from the beginning with this [...]

Triggers
When I went through my divorce 6 (6!) years ago, I fully dealt with it. I can say that I look back now and I just don't know that person. I don't know that wife, that person who signed divorce papers, the person that cried a lot of tears and went through a lot of [...]
Halloween in the books
We can officially say we have another Halloween stuffed in the books! It was a whirlwind of a week celebrating because that is how we celebrate things, a full week at a time. Plus, it is the best way to end my favorite month and we got to do so with unseasonably warm weather in [...]
My Baby on Social Media

Maybe I fall somewhere in the middle. Of course I didn't over do it because my husband killed my bounce house [...]
Family Dynamics
It is amazing how having a baby changes a family's dynamic. Suddenly some family becomes closer to you and your new or growing family. Sometimes it pushes some family further away. And then there are other times it just brings out the true colors in the rest. While we are busy preparing for Cora's first [...]
First Flight-10 months old
This past weekend we attempted yet another first in Cora's life. Her first airplane ride. I can honestly say I had more anxiety for the 5 hour drive we took back in July versus this plane ride. Mainly because of her hatred for the car seat. We were heading to Rochester, NY for a wedding [...]
