You have been Mama’s little girl from the get go. Maybe it was because Drew was such a Daddy’s boy. But whatever the reason, we clicked from the very beginning. In some ways I think you have gotten the best of me. With Drew, switching modes and becoming a mom was challenging at times and it took some getting used […]

Two years ago tomorrow my little princess joined our family. My savior in a world full of testosterone. She came into this world with some gusto and hasn’t toned it down ever since. When I found out I was having a girl, I was dumbfounded. I had wanted a girl very badly…mostly for all the wrong reasons, so I could […]

Some people say they have my eyes. My mother tells me that he has my temperament. I’d like to think she has my fashion sense. Its hard to say who they are and even harder to understand where they came from. Almost four years ago I became a mother. Yeah, I received my first Mother’s Day gift while my first […]

It is officially official. Although it reminds me of when you change your name after you get married, months (or sometimes years) later you find something you totally forgot to change. I now have a license saying that I am a resident where I currently live. It’s ironic since Saturday we will be doing our very first walk through of […]

There’s something about becoming a parent for the first time. Recently a few friends of mine have become first time parents and I’m completely and totally jealous of them. I’m not jealous of the lack of sleep, the nervousness of learning how to handle an infant and I’m not jealous of being a Human vending machine for an infant. I […]
