I'm a wife and working mom and, just like every one of you out there, I'm doing my best not to ruin my children. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that, even though raising kids is the hardest job you'll ever have, there's no right or wrong way to do it!

I'm a mother of six amazing and beautiful children who not only bring me joy every single day; they also challenge me as well. I'll be honest; there isn't a single day that goes by where we don't have our fights, fits, meltdowns, talking back, walking out, being late for curfew, and cursing—just to name a few. That's why I created this blog—to "get real" with parents who have struggled through infertility, foster care, adoption, raising children with special needs, relationships, and life.

I hope that, through my personal experiences, struggles, and successes, you will enjoy my blog while joining me on this crazy journey called LIFE!
