I haven't needed this space in some time. One day I just ran out of words that needed to spill out and so instead I just come back here to read your words. I cheer you on and watch as lives continue to unfold, just as mine does. Watch children grow up in pictures, as [...]

Parents Versus Non-Parents
I'm going to tell you something that I wished someone would have told me one day, long ago. If you are newly pregnant, newly with child, or a parent at home with 4 kids, listen up.

If one is pregnant, then both should be
Over Labor Day weekend my SIL and brother announced they are pregnant with baby #2! My nephew was born 4 months after Cora was so it will be exciting to be graced with a new baby to sniff and snuggle in this family. I knew they were having a bunch of sex trying for another baby [...]
