I love being a mom…and also, it’s freaking hard.

I am a mom to four unique, adorable, and wildly intelligent (!) children.  My oldest son, Noah, passed away when he was 9 months old (read about that here) 

(and BTW, yes I am positive he was wildly intelligent, even at that young age).  

I gave birth to Rebekah exactly 9 months after Noah’s death, and I have two adopted children:  Elijah, domestic adoption, and Elliana, International Adoption (read about that here).

These kids fuel inspiration for nearly everything I write, in one way or another.  Truly, hundreds of blog posts mention my kids or tell of something profound I learned because I am their mother.
