May I Throat-Punch You Now?*
I have four kids. I’m saying that now to get it out of the way, because it will come up throughout this post. I have four kids, ages 6 (almost 7), 5, 3, and 3 months. Of course, when you have children, that means that anyone and everyone can come up to you and deliver…

Babydom
I don’t talk much about being a mom. That doesn’t mean I don’t talk about my children. I talk about them ALL THE TIME. I’ve no doubt I’m swiftly becoming one of Those Women that people hate, the kind that uses every other Facebook update to quote something absolutely adorable said by…
