That’s right – I didn’t love the infant stage, I might venture into saying I didn’t like it either. Please do NOT get me wrong – do not take this post as meaning I do not love my child, because my God I love her more than any words could ever explain, so I won’t attempt to portray my love her … [Read more...]
I am a tiger…..
Or something like that. There has been a lot of talk lately of woman yelling from the rooftops (or their laptops) that they’re in love with their bodies – just.as.they.are!

Secretly a lot of … [Read more...]
Being a Mom is HARD!!
Yes, Yes, I know what you're going to say - DUH!! I never expected any of this to be easy - but WOW after the past week and a half I can say, with complete certainty, motherhood is HARD.
