Combating Broken Glass with Kind Words
I was showering, enjoying the quiet, the warm water, the freshness and just basking in the moment of peace when I heard the faint commotion outside the bathroom.

Questions..hmm
Someone asked me recently why I’ve turned to blogging and because I was caught off guard I said “well, because I always wanted to and decided this year I would.” But perhaps, it goes a little deeper. As a “stay at home mom” you get slighted for being “just a yoga pants, no makeup wearing…
Mac and Cheese Dinner

The Bake Sale
“Mama, please? Can I do it?” she pleaded for what seemed like the hundredth time. I heard her but I ashamedly admit that I wasn’t really listening and she begrudgingly walked away, disappointed.
