Raising a Fatherless Son

May 6, 2013 by Sara 1 Comment

There are a few women that I know and we're part of the club that you don't want a membership to.  We are motherless mothers.  At UrbanMoms alone there are a slew of us.  There are books about being a motherless mom.  It's a 'thing'. I was very fortunate to have had my mom for many years (not nearly … [Read more...]

Do You Know Your Birth Story??

April 29, 2013 by Sara 6 Comments

I'm 44 today.  I have no issue with it.  I didn't mind turning 30 or 40.  The milestones don't mean a lot to me.  My age only freaks me out when I think about my parents when they were 44.  They were OLD.  Please!  I will say this. I feel better, younger, fitter, more settled....happier....at 44 … [Read more...]

What Privacy Expectations Should Kids Have?

April 24, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

Did you keep a diary?  I did throughout high school.  Years later, when my mom was dying, she said that she had a box with a bunch of my old crap in it.  I think she found it when we were moving some time and it had just moved with her - from house to house - over the years. We sat down and … [Read more...]

Help! What Do I Need to Clean This Spring?!

April 22, 2013 by Sara 8 Comments

I bought my first house about 10 years ago.  It was around the corner from where I am now.  I loved it.  I loved it until one night, I was trapped inside.  Urban wildlife.  Possums were on the roof of my garage, a skunk family took up under my porch and a godforsaken raccoon was humping my back … [Read more...]

If Only It Was Easy To Let Go

April 16, 2013 by Sara 8 Comments

I started writing this blog post in my head yesterday, (where I write most of them and then slap it down here as fast as I can before I forget), before the bombing at the Boston Marathon.  Then I didn't feel like writing it because ... well my brain was busy with other things.  Also, I knew there … [Read more...]

Kids Make No Logical Sense!

April 11, 2013 by Sara 6 Comments

The other morning, Will asked for a picture that he drew at Jamie's house.  Let me back up.  Will's new favourite activity is drawing.  Without exaggeration, every day at school, there are 20 new masterpieces in his cubby.  Anything remotely looking like Scooby Doo or referencing the Scoob is … [Read more...]

Helloooo… Where Are you??

April 9, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

Most of the time on here I talk about Will.  Our ups and downs.  The ridiculous (did I tell you he 'hellllooo'ed' me last week?) and the sweet.  Sometimes I talk about my family, or my mom, or the things I'm grateful for.  Or my fave, people who really piss me off. It also feels like once a year, … [Read more...]

Who is Will’s Daddy?

April 2, 2013 by Sara 12 Comments

Have we all recovered from yesterday's post yet? My siblings may still be attached to oxygen masks as we speak.  How could I resist? What isn't an April Fools joke? Will is almost five.  People said to pay attention because it goes by in a flash and instead of wanting to punch them, maybe I … [Read more...]

Time For #2?!

April 1, 2013 by Sara 10 Comments

Well.  I did it.  I called the doctor (who my grandmother liked to refer to as 'the father') and made an appointment.  I'm about to be 44.  I'm old but with the ease I got pregnant the first time, I'm confident that I can give Will his biggest wish...a sibling. I've thought about it so much over … [Read more...]

Here Comes The Groom and….

March 27, 2013 by Sara

There is a whole lot of marriage talk among the K-room set at the daycare lately.  It's almost as if they are following the U.S. debate on marriage equality. Not a day goes by without Will giving me the rundown on who is going to marry who and who got mad because so and so said they wouldn't … [Read more...]
