As a mom, we all need this reminder. We want happy days, easy times, moments of love and laughter with our kids. Oh how wonderful it would be if it was always like that. But parenting is hard, so damn hard. There are days where we want to call “uncle” and run away....
Ain’t No Hood Like Motherhood

Where You Lead, I’ll Follow

25 Years Later, This is Us
Mom… I met a boy. You did? What’s his name? Kris. He’s really tall and he’s really cute. Is Tall Kris nice? Is he funny? Is he smart? Seems like it. I think you and Dad would like him. Oh, maybe we will meet Tall Kris one day. That’s a long way off but who knows....
