…It pours. I have always remembered my extremely wise Grandma’s words that although mothering is a challenge in itself, nothing is worse than when your kids are sick. The feeling of helplessness. Of desperation. Of absolute fatigue. And this is coming from no wimp. A mother to nine, one of which she had to bury… Continue Reading
Well hello there, Mr. Handsome You are one tough little guy to be surrounded by your loving sisters who smother you to death with squeezes and kisses… Where has the last month gone???

I’m going to make this short because, well, the combination of post-pregnancy hormones with lack of sleep does not make it easy to reflect on the fourth year of your firstborn’s life without getting all weepy and frankly, losing it. Alizea Ann, You are such a wonderful little girl! Your zeal for life is a… Continue Reading
