Taking the Leap from One to Two

February 11, 2010

Deciding to have a second child is joyful and downright SCARY!    How do you suddenly share the love you have given wholly to your first child with another?  Can you?  What if you don’t connect with the new baby as you did your first?  Speaking as a person who cried when she got a second [...]

Organization is the key….

January 11, 2010

     If you have read any of my other posts, you know by now that I have a child with special needs,  and therefore require copious amounts of both patience, and organization. These, to me, are a lot like bread and butter…. one is pointless without the other.

Santa thought he got off easy this year. The requests: purple fuzzy slippers, a baby doll, and [...]
