When we grow up, will I be a lady?

May 27, 2011

This post was published on Wednesday, May 25th over at Studio Thirty Plus, a blogging community for writers over the age of thirty. Apparently, I qualify. *** Sometimes I ask myself, when did I grow up? When I was younger, I was always thinking about what I would look like when I grew up. What [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: I love my son, I love my son

April 10, 2011

I hated writing this post. But I had to. I had so many yucky feelings bottled up today that I felt like I had to get them out. Hopefully this purges them a little bit. At the very least, it should be a reminder to me that we start each day anew. Even moms need [...]

Because One Blog is Never Enough

January 17, 2011

If James Bond were a blogger, I think that would be the title of his next movie. I am neither James Bond, nor a movie star, but I am a blogger. And apparently, one blog is not enough for me. I’m getting ready to make a big announcement. I think you probably know what it [...]

Guess How Much I Love You?

January 7, 2011

That question is rhetorical. But I really do love all of you out there. If you didn’t visit my site and read and even occasionally comment, I’d probably still write. I just might cry every time I hit publish. If you’re a parent, though, you probably already know this question. It’s the name of a [...]

What’s a nice girl like me doing with a stroller like that?

October 4, 2010

I’ll admit it. I’m having a good year. Despite still being unemployed, I love what I’m doing. I love writing and meeting new people and even getting to try new stuff. A lot of new stuff. Every time I turn around, I seem to be winning something. I’m hoping that maybe it’s good karma but [...]

Helping Others Through Postpartum Education and Support

September 16, 2010

I started several PPD themed posts because of my good friend, Suzanne from pretty*swell. Suzanne has been very open and honest about her journey with PPD and asked us to support her as she participates in an event to raise awareness about PPD in the Raleigh-Durham area. I offered my blog as a way to [...]

My Journey Through Depression

September 14, 2010

This is a story about depression. And how I’ve journeyed through it. Please don’t turn away. I want you to read it. My son was born in January 2007. I had read all the books and had done my preparation but I truly had no clue how one little person could change your life so [...]

Who needs a parenting book (when you already know it all)?

September 8, 2010

That is not a rhetorical question. It’s a real one. Hands up… who needs a parenting book? Not me. I don’t need one. I’m sure of it. I think. I am 3 1/2 years into being a mom. My husband and I are parents. We are past the oh-my-god-what-did-we-get-ourselves-into phase and we sailed past the [...]

Sibling Rivalry with an Only Child

August 30, 2010

Sounds weird, I know. I have one child. He’s my one and only. So where did the sibling come from? I borrowed one. My blogging buddy, Sue, had the great fortune of her husband surprising her with a day out at a concert in town. On the sly, he contacted a bunch of her friends [...]
