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 [...]

New Year, Big Goals
I'm a little late to the blogging world but in case you haven't heard, the holidays have come and gone. I'm not going to repeat what everyone else has said about how they slowed down for the holidays and enjoyed special moments with their kids, because we did and it was wonderful and the older [...]
Turning Three
For at least 5 months now, Cora has been asking for the same toy at Target. Every week we go to the baby doll aisle, she picks up the box and stares at it lovingly. She goes over everything that comes in the box, pink baby, diaper, bottle, and binky. Then we say goodbye to [...]

Your Husband isn’t Your Trash
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 [...]
