Life

Nope, I’m not a superhero, but I am a mother—and that’s a lot

I already know I am efficient, capable, strong and fierce. But, I am also fatigued, sometimes overworked and underappreciated, and worst of all expected to be the one that keeps it together for everyone else.

Child Milestones

I blinked, and now…it’s time for kindergarten

This is early-childhood. I wiped away a tear from my eye.
