On Monday, during a play date at the kids gym, I hastily picked up my kid and left in a hurry. I was done, over it. I called my husband on the way home and announced I was officially done with these mothers, foot down. Fuck it. Also, I proclaimed my love to him and [...]

Growing up overnight
When your child turns 1, a lot of people seem to think your child is all grown up. I didn't quite see Cora as all grown up by any means. She was still my baby with a diaper butt and a binky in that chubby hand. She turned two and I remember rocking her to [...]
Learning Patience
I think one of the main things a mother will say that her children taught her is patience. I couldn't agree with this more. I have never spent so much time telling myself to stop, breathe, wait, and have patience. This moment shall pass, we will get to where we are headed, don't explode, give [...]

This kid has been relentless, on a daily basis, asking about a baby brother. Not sister, brother. [...]
These are the best days

Cora’s Second Birthday
Cora- It has been two months since we have celebrated your second birthday but I knew I would get to your second birthday letter eventually. We celebrated with a puppy themed birthday party, at our home, with 50 of your closest friends and family for 10 hours. I say that jokingly because our house was [...]
