I still fondly remember that first birthday together: two kids so intoxicated with new, young love that it didn’t matter that we were underage and unable to toast the occasion. Oh, how much I thought I knew about [...]

Being gone for two weeks, I asked some of my favorite bloggy friends to help fill in for me. I suggested that they they might share some “scary mommy moments,” to create a theme among posts. To me, that meant those moments where you feel imperfect, unfit and downright… scary. They interpreted it as their [...]
