The Irony of Motherhood
Lately I've been thinking a lot about how ironic my role as a mother is. It seems like so many of the expectations that I had/have as a mom have turned out to be quite the opposite of what I originally thought they would be. My ability to appreciate irony has grown by leaps and bounds since the moment I became a mother. Naturally, I had no idea what to expect until I ... Read More

My Baby… Plus One
I've been experiencing a fair amount of anxiety lately. I can't seem to escape the frantic to-do list in my head, of things that MUST be done before baby #2 arrives. Time is ticking, and with a presumable 4-5 weeks to go, give or take, I can't help but feel a little doubtful that I actually can, and will, accomplish it all. It dawned on me the other day, that the time I ... Read More
