motherhood – Fighting For my Sunshine

My sunshine… on a rainy day turns 6.

I’m trying to take notice of all of the beautiful moments that come while parenting. Even if they’re only momentary breaks in the middle of a storm…

A letter

Dear Boys, It’s been a while since I’ve written you a letter, so today (Good Friday) I thought I should. BJ…my growing, handsome, strong and resilient boy…. how I love you.

My Birthday wish

BJ’s birthday came on a super cold Saturday. We had to reschedule his birthday party; I bought cupcakes on that Thursday because I knew we’d be iced in for the weekend.
