Happy birthday to my baby girl. I love you so much more than you could know, and each day I hope you are growing stronger, smiling as much as possible, and that you are surrounded by love and happiness. As I started writing this, re-writing this, followed by deleting it all, I just sat and … Continue reading For your second birthday…

A haunted house
You know when you are about to have guests over and you try to clean your whole house up for them, or at least make it presentable? Whether you spend fifteen minutes or two days cleaning up, once your guest(s) gets there you always manage to notice something that is out of place or that … Continue reading A haunted house
My youngest sister is about to turn 21?
I have two younger sisters, one is 22, about to get married, works on brains in hospitals, and has her life together (or at least more together than mine). The other one is about to turn 21. My youngest sister is a great student, but she is a menace on society. She is the kind … Continue reading My youngest sister is about to turn 21?
One year later…
It has been one year. A whole year. I am not sure where the time went, but what I can tell you is that it has not been easy since I have said goodbye to my daughter. I have struggled with coming to terms with being a childless mother and even as I write now … Continue reading One year later…
self(LESS) – A Birthmother’s Pain
Over the past eight months, I have struggled to find a reason to write happy posts or find humor in the small things. At the beginning of December my boyfriend and I found out that we were pregnant. I had just started a new job after being laid off twice over the course of two months, … Continue reading self(LESS) – A Birthmother’s Pain
My Twenty First

When you are a kid, you get to build your own house inside your parent's house. You instantly become an architect and an interior designer, and … Continue reading Building forts
Why I shower with the curtain partially open…
It is self-defense really. No one wants to walk into the bathroom when there is someone ready with a high-powered supersoaker standing guard waiting for their attack. In my house growing up my dad always thought it was funny to pour ice and cold water over the shower curtain. He would sneak into the bathroom … Continue reading Why I shower with the curtain partially open…
Why I had to pee with someone growing up…
The news was spreading... There are alligators in the sewers. They have climbed all the way up into our plumbing, and every time you flush the toilet or let the water run to long or use the garbage disposal there is an alligator waiting to snatch you up! My dad showed my friend and I … Continue reading Why I had to pee with someone growing up…
Once I puked all over my parents…
This is the first memory I have that I can still remember so I better write it down now. When I was maybe 4 years old I was my parents' world. I had beautiful long brown hair, I was sociable, I rarely cried, and I was able to entertain myself. I was also rarely sick, … Continue reading Once I puked all over my parents…
