Today I turn 43. A rather un-magical number, really. It doesn’t have the glam and parties that 40 offers up. It’s just another year closer to that hushed term, “mid-life”, (gasp).

This is What a Fighter Looks Like

In a matter of exactly 20 minutes of texting, we’d BOTH referred to ourselves as ‘bad mommas’. BOTH of us. […]
Rainbows and Butterflies (#37)
How can getting out the door in one piece, fully dressed, with both shoes on, be soooo difficult some days? Those of you who are moms know exactly what I’m talking about.
