Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I wake up to my hubby saying our daughter is screaming her head off in the middle of the night! “Mommy! I want you,” she shouts from her bedroom. “I don’t know what to do. She’s doesn’t want me,” her daddy says. Now I’m stuck with a choice to make. Do I go in there,…
Princess turned three this weekend! I usually have the entire summer to prepare for Princess’s birthday bash. But it has been hard to plan amidst all the chaos of welcoming Baby O into the family, school, doctors appointments and such. I wanted her day to be special so I did my best with what little time…
It’s been an interesting first three weeks so far. Baby O is such a great baby. I feel so blessed. For the most part, he’s pretty easy to figure out.
