I am a 30 something mother of two adorable, and sometimes monster-ish children, that are my whole world. I went through two difficult pregnancies, one of which included losing one of my twin boys.

I heard someone say today, that they don’t explain how they truly feel when asked, because of how uncomfortable it makes others to hear the answer. That hit home for me. If I were to tell someone all of the scary, traumatic, depressing things that have been going through my head, they would probably need… Continue reading Always OK
I thought I was doing everything right. I thought that by giving you everything you wanted and needed that I would get the same in return. I thought that by ignoring my own needs, that eventually we would find a rhythm that worked for both of us. I thought that my opinions mattered. I thought… Continue reading I…
Does anyone else out there have a love/hate relationship with the Holiday season?
