My mom has always really loved kids. She’s known for nurturing other people’s children when there’s a need. I once had a best friend in middle school who lived with us for a while because he household was abusive.

When I Knew…
When I dropped him off at day care and felt like I’d left my heart behind. When I handed him over to a teacher at day care so she could get to know him. He looked at me with concerned eyes and I wanted to take him and run. When I stare at him while […] Read more…
Operation: Date Night
It had been sixteen whole months since my husband and I went on a date. Since our son made his way into the world our Friday date night went the way of the do – do bird. According to everyone, this wasn’t good. They all kept saying that we needed to get away to just […] Read more…

Keep It To Yourself

When I was pregnant everyone told me that things would change and that I wouldn’t think twice about “that dog”. Their words, not mine. I strongly doubted my love changing […] Read more…

This Isn’t Working
I really thought things would work out. I had great expectations. Those expectations die a little everyday. I just knew my son and my “(dog)daughter” would be the best of friends.
