It’s been lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out and attack. Before I was ready, it was here… My birthday. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m turning 29 (AGAIN) in two days. You read that right. I’ll be turning 29 again, and I don’t care one bit that I’ve had a few (Ok, more than […]

Every single woman there was extremely different but there we were, together, moving fiercely through whatever life was throwing […]
Lessons

This worked out great because my little guy could sleep on the way to the hospital, wake up, get checked in, have the surgery and […]
