I am not sure at which point in your life you will read this but I want you to be together when you do. I remember the pain and struggles your dad and I went thru to conceive you. It was one bad test result...
My parents divorced when I was five and my sister was three. Looking back now it was the best possible outcome but at the time it was messy, very messy, for all of us. I remember the arguing and the drinking. I remember hearing my...
What do you think you see when you look at my Instagram account or Facebook account? What would you say about my life? My family? My passion for writing and blogging? My journey both past and present? I can imagine you would say some pretty...

Oh my gosh mamas. I absolutely need to share my thoughts on this. With the weekend upon us let's talk mom dating shall we? You know you have thought about it and you know you want to talk about it. Do you ever feel when...
