Parenting

"The shock was overwhelming. When they took me to her little lifeless body laying on that big hospital bed I lost it... I beg you to share this post and story with everyone because no parent should ever have to hear the words 'I'm sorry but unfortunately she did not survive.'"

"You told me I deserved it when I started to tear up."

"Remember to hold your baby extra tight, because some of us mamas can’t."

"Whether it’s vaccines, essential oils, gluten, GMO’s, or epidurals, we’ve made ourselves susceptible to a very sneaky lie."

When I tell people my kids go for a sleepover once a week at their grandparents, they almost fall over, and always end up shaming me.

"At most high schools, members of the football team are lauded and applauded and respected and admired, which is great for them. But at some of those same schools, members of the marching band, especially, are made fun of."

"My daughter would question me as to why I wasn’t wearing a two-piece bathing suit. I would tell her 'Mommy just doesn’t feel comfortable in it,' and when she would push for me to explain what I meant I would just deflect the conversation and bring up a new topic."

When I woke up, there was blood on my shirt and coming from her nose. She was as limp as a rag doll. I remember crying and screaming, ‘no, no, no.’
