I have had a rough go of sharing my thoughts with you this week. I’m stumped. Blocked. Lost in thought. Completely lost in thought. My mind is stuck in the last year, reminiscing, and honestly; how many times can I […]
My kids think I am a goddess. Or stupid and smelly, depending on the day (and the age of the kid). But most of the time, they truly believe that I am beautiful and wonderful. So, today I …
It used to be that when a kid cried, I was their parent of choice. I knew the snacks they would (actually) eat, and the things that calmed them. I was snuggley, and a little …
This may come as a surprise, but I get really nervous about things. I get all butterfly-ey and nauseous. My hands sweat and I get a little twitchy. Just like the rest of the world. I may …
