September 19, 2016 by Sara Leave a Comment

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.

Cheers To The Good Moms For Sometimes Being Bad

August 19, 2016 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

When I arrived in Halifax two weeks ago, I wasn't sure I'd survive. How was I supposed to focus on writing my book and earning my degree when my kids were 800 miles away? I'd miss them too much.

Turning The Page On Reading Struggles

March 9, 2016 by Alison Tedford 78 Comments

My son has struggled with reading and writing for a few years now. It's been really hard to watch. I've been frustrated for him because it's stuff that has always come easily to me and I always hoped he would have a similar experience. I don't think any parent wants to watch their kid have to do … [Read more...]

December 31, 2013 by Christine 3 Comments

As we get ready to say good bye to 2013, we reflect on all of the things that have taken place over the past 12 months. The good. The bad. The ugly. Our family grew by one. An adorable furry 1.

PUBLISHED! (and a giveaway!)

March 26, 2013 by Christine

As far back as my memory serves me, I have loved writing. I was a total bookworm growing up and always had my nose between the pages of a book. I had journals and diaries. I would staple stacks of paper together to write stories in and (very badly) illustrate them. Eight years ago while we … [Read more...]

Write Wing

November 6, 2012 by Amanda

I've been reading some Anne Lamott. If you haven't read any of her books, you really need to. She is just fantastic. Her prose jumps right off the page and paints the most beautiful images for the mind and the stories she tells make me laugh and give me shivers and make me want to take the time to … [Read more...]

I wonder…

March 3, 2011 by Christine

I wonder if I'll ever stop looking at the kids a grade older than Cuyler (but born the same year as him) and thinking "He should be with them".  Because I know he's exactly where he's supposed to be.I wonder if I'll ever have enough confidence in my parenting abilities.I wonder what will happen … [Read more...]
