Honestly, we are all leaving behind some kind of legacy for our children. The question is – what kind ofContinue reading “Our Present, Their Future”
The scar that made me a Mother.
I’ve been thinking lately about C-sections. Don’t ask me way, I just have. I know April was C-Section Awareness month, and it’s now May – but that’s okay. We can still talk about them, right.

What it means to be a mom:
What it means to be a mom to me: In honor of Mother’s Day (already past), I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about moms and what it means to me to be a mom. I love being a mom, and during this last year, I was able to be a stay-at-home mom.Continue reading “What it means to be a mom:”

Finding yourself again
Do you feel like you’re losing yourself? Maybe even again? As a mom, I feel like this happens to us several times, maybe even daily.
