I said I'd prefer a wild child over a boring one a thousand times, and then he arrived two and a half years ago. My son has had an incredible impact on my life (and it's not just the shrill scream he can hold for Read more
Two years ago today, I gave birth to my son. While he's definitely given me a run for my money, I am thrilled for this milestone for many reasons and don't believe for a second that the twos are terrible. We bid his crib goodbye and he's settled in his big boy bed. When he wakes up in the morning, he plays with his toys and lets us rest a bit longer. He's a mover and a shaker so we don't Read more
There's just something about mothers and sons. When the groom and his mom took to the dance floor at a wedding I attended last weekend, a friend of mine burst into tears. Her reaction had nothing to do with the newlyweds, but the fact that she can't imagine someday handing off her own son who just turned one. To hear my experience, read more Read more
