Stay at Home Mania

You are Loved

I never thought my return to blogging would be written with such a heavy heart. On Friday, October 7th I was forwarded a picture of little Sherin Mathews saying MISSING. This sweet girl was the adopted daughter of a couple I knew vaguely about 10 years ago. Here is a synopsis of how this story…

Digging Myself Out

I have been wanting to write for so long, but there's always some distraction or something else that needs to get done. I feel myself drowning in this new position of motherhood. How do I pull myself out. How do I find some ME time? Do I wash clothes and do the dishes while the…
