15 Things About Me
I love learning about others. It’s one of my favorite things about working with adults on occasion. I’ve sat and held the hand of a 95 year old who is only on one medication and I’ve spoken to a 30 year old who’s falling apart. We all have a story. You may or may not…

Mom Life
We are all busy. If you have one kid or 6 you’re busy. If you are blessed to stay home or work, you’re busy. If you’re married or single….busy! Because we are moms! Most of the “Mom population” takes care of the kids in most ways. We carry them, birth them, nurse them, take care…

Life
Have you ever used the phrase “Hind sight’s 20/20”? Every time I hear Brad Paisley’s song “If I could write a letter to me” I always think about what I would say to my 17 year old self. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ3bn7V0zdU Would I tell myself all the great things that will happen or would I voice warnings? Warn her…

Munchkin
Fifteen. Wow. Fifteen years ago (in about 12 hours) my daughter was born. And I became someones mother. I remember thinking, “I hope God knows what he’s doing because I don’t!” She came in at 7 lb 4.5 oz, 21.5 inches long and with a head of black hair and she was perfect. After 17…
