Don’t Feel Sorry For Me Because I’m A Single Mom

May 3, 2017 by Erin Silver 2 Comments

I’m a single mom. It’s officially been me and my two boys for nearly five years. Raising kids isn’t an easy job even when there are two parents at home. When you have two boys 15 months apart and you’re always outnumbered, it’s even harder. They love each other but they bicker and fight … [Read more...]

Knock knock. Remember me? It's been awhile. A very long while. Father's Day was my last post because I can never miss that one. I've missed writing and I've thought about it so many times.

Father’s Day Message – Year 8

June 17, 2016 by Sara Leave a Comment

It's that time of year again. The stores are full of ties and cufflinks and cologne all ready to be wrapped and presented with a cheesy card with a golf joke on it for Father's Day. For me, if you've followed my blog, you know it's my one time a year to write directly to Will's donor. He may never … [Read more...]

Shaking Up Tradition: The High Holidays

September 25, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

When I was a kid, I always went to synagogue with my family for the High Holidays. The holiest of all the Jewish holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a time to repent for our sins and ask God for a year of life, health and prosperity. I would always ask God to make me a more patient sister to … [Read more...]

“Mom Things” I Don’t Care Enough About

August 26, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

As far as moms go, I'm a bit of an underachiever in a lot of ways. There are many things I don't care about at all and other things about which I should probably care a little bit more. I find it hard to apologize for my lack of interest. I'm not sorry. This is just how it is. Minecraft Going … [Read more...]

Letting Go Of The Mommy Guilt And Focusing On Me

August 14, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I love being a student here in Halifax. I've been away from my kids for nearly two weeks and while I miss them terribly and can't wait to come home, I have a dirty secret: I am having a great time.

Parenting Lessons From A Taylor Swift Concert

August 5, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

As a mom, I recognize trouble when it walks in too, so Taylor Swift and I have some stuff in common. We both love high waisted shorts aka mom shorts. Her friends refer to her as the patron saint of cats and my Instagram account is 25% feline. I know my kid can be entertained by paper airplanes for … [Read more...]

Ending The Trip… The Guilt Trip

July 21, 2015 by Sara 2 Comments

Will picked up a new skill on our vacation. It came out of nowhere and he's incredibly talented at it! No, it's not riding a two-wheeler, which I still have hopes will happen this week. It's not eating sushi, because if I had a picture of him popping that first california roll into his mouth with … [Read more...]

Life In The Dark: Parenting Through Grief

July 8, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

Some winter mornings, bleary eyed after a night battling insomnia, I dress in the dark. I struggle with the buttons, willing my blouse closed over the snug matching camisole. I cruise through my morning routine on autopilot, throwing my hair into a ponytail and brushing my teeth with eyes closed. … [Read more...]
