Happy Birthday

I was raised by a mother who spent time for many years passionately teaching her students about The Civil Rights Movement, but I’d neverContinue reading “My Job As A Mother In 2020”
The Words We Say, The Lies We Choose
For those of you who don’t know me personally or are just joining me here in the Mom Van, it’s important to know that I don’t believe in coincidences.

What Being A Mom Looks Like
My husband took a picture of me the other day that I feel really sums up the stage of Motherhood that I’m in right now.

The picture, however unconventional, has quickly become one ofContinue reading “What Being A Mom Looks Like”
Being A Working Mom
Its cold in my room as the sun slowly creeps in through my window. My babies are sleeping in their crib and snuggly and warm. They climb into each other’s beds now to be close to one another.
