It all started so innocently. Four years ago, changing my wiggly then 18-month-old’s diapers was an aerobic event that often left me breathless. One day, in an effort to get her cleaned up with less struggle, I handed her my phone with a two-minute YouTube video on it. She lay completely still, entranced by the […]
Last week my son woke up beaming, “it’s my special day, it’s my adoption anniversary!” As he entered the kitchen I had our “you are special today” plate ready with his breakfast and placed it down by “Daddy’s chair,” which is where he requested to sit on his special day.

I’m hanging on for dear life to those last ties to my childhood. While I am now a mother, I am still a daughter and sometimes I like to be cared for like one. My parents are my friends, my counsel, my teachers, my life. When I need advice, after talking to my husband, they are […]
