Being that I wasn’t the most confident kid, I have been making the extra effort to build the confidence of my babies. It took me years to get myself together. I seriously wasn’t loving me completely until college. I don’t want my kids to be that way. I feel like I missed out on things […] Read more…

One More Baby?
How come there’s only one of me? This is the question my son asked me, one day, out of the blue. I wasn’t prepared for this one. It was totally unexpected. We talked about it and it is pretty obvious my little man wants a brother. He calls his toy Mufasa, from the Lion King, […] Read more…
And So It Begins…
From the moment my daughter was born it was true love. My son was mesmerized by his baby sister.

There are NO Words…
Like everyone else, Friday shifted things for me, once again. Children who I’ve never met have made an impact on my life that won’t soon be forgotten.

The Drama of Being Mama
Now that I’m back to work I’m feeling all the pangs of being a working mom. Of course, I’m missing my babies. I am convinced there is never enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done. It’s almost as if a choice had to be made to either spend time […] Read more…
Putting on Listening Ears
My little guy continues to amaze me. He is so smart. I swear I wasn’t so smart at his age. I’m sure, scratch that, I know, everyone says that about their baby. Our struggle with him right now is getting him to listen. He wants to do his own thing and gets so carried away […] Read more…
