My life is a little crazy right now… It is a wonderful crazy but crazy none the less. I am determined to rock this “mom of 4” thing but right now I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water! Emma was born August 1st and I gave myself 1 month before we […]

The Perception: I get “super mom” comments ALL the time. Well meaning women who praise me for all the things I do. Don’t get me wrong, I am BUSY! I have been blessed with the ability to be a stay at home mom and I have 3 awesome kids that keep me on my toes […]
