I am 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. It’s hard to pick only a few…but here it goes: my all-time favorite posts on parenting.
Most of these posts have been updated and curated into my book Mom, You’re Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You. If you hit a dead link, you can find that post in the book.
