My house is quiet now, almost too quiet. After 3 days of having 4 of our kids in the house and my niece for a night, just 2 of us are home. The 3 year old is taking his first nap since Wednesday. He must be feeling the post holiday let down. All this […]

My Beautiful Boy
Today is my oldest biological child’s 8th Birthday! He is truly the first person who taught me the meaning of unconditional love. I remember finding out that I was pregnant with him. One of the most special moments of my life. I always knew that I wanted to be a Mom. Just a few short […]
Thanksgiving Traditions
Every Monday my boss sends out a Monday Morning Email. It is to jumpstart our entire week. Sometimes we are asked to respond to a certain question. This week the question was, “do you have any Thanksgiving Traditions”. I responded with my real answer to this question, an answer that I have been holding onto […]
Christmas from the Parents Perspective
When you have 6 children, who live in 4 different households the thought of Christmas can be extremely overwhelming. Every single year, it gets more and more difficult. 8 years ago, Christmas of 2007 when I had just 1 kid, no problem. He was 1 month old. I could have gotten away with buying as […]
It’s Sunday, lets press EVERY button
I had the craziest Sunday that I have had in so long. I felt like I was outside of my body for some of it. Like all the kids were playing some kind of practical joke on me. After waking up to like 6 inches of snow on the ground, we had to make the […]

Imagine
So, yesterday I had a lot of time in the car by myself. I was free to listen to what I wanted to, as loud as I saw fit and sing out loud the whole time. On my way to my destination “Imagine by John Lennon” came on the radio. Imagine, has always been one […]
My Third Therapy Session
At my third therapy session, we finally talked about real life. No more of sticking to the intake questions. We didn’t focus on my past and we were able to talk about how my life looks now. My therapist asked me what it was that I do for a living. For those of you that […]
Living the Life you Want
There are 24 hrs in a day, some say that’s not enough. There are 7 days in a week, 365 days in a year…again it never seems like enough. If we are lucky we get that first 24 hrs, we go to bed and we wake up with a whole other 24 hours to live. […]
