Adventures of Mommyhood
Hey folks! I just came off of the BEST WEEKEND EVER. Ky had her first recital and I’ve been in awe of her since. Her little group all went on stage, did their thang, and left...no tears! I'm pretty sure that is UNHEARD of! I just could not stop watching her little videos. And as… Continue reading …being strong
Hey folks! So I've had one helluva crazy past couple of weeks. Ky came down with the flu AND pneumonia. When I tell you I was freaking the fuck out... I feel like I haven't slept in 2 weeks, and that might be pretty accurate. It was so scary seeing her so helpless, so sick and… Continue reading …giving yourself a break
Hey folks! Have you ever found yourself dreading this question: "So what do you like to do for fun?" No? Just me? *shrugs* I've had THE most difficult time attempting to answer that question.

From how to wash my child to what I should buy my child. Yes, I so generously thank you for taking such… Continue reading …taking advice like a boss
Lately I've missed my freedom. Not that I had much to be free about.. But just the mere fact that I could have gone wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted...without the responsibilities of a child. Is that wrong? It's not that I miss the party scene - although leaving the house at midnight and not… Continue reading …wanting to be free
Hey folks! So I have done it! The impossible! And now I am in my family's history books. This past Spring Break I decided Ky and I were NOT going to spend it in NC. We needed a break. So I packed our things and Belly (that's what I'm calling her these days) in the car… Continue reading …traveling adventures
Hey folks! So I had this conversation with a friend of mine that I thought would be great to talk about...

I don't know how folks...women...single moms....do it. But somehow I am, and I'm always amazed when I get through the day without losing it.

Just balling...when the day is over...and I finally have time to breathe...or in this case, cry.… Continue reading …feeling overwhelmed
