3. RESPECT FOR THE SOLO MAMA AND FIVE THINGS THAT KEPT THIS ONE SANE
Sneak Peek:
I must say… I have such a new level of respect for the “solo” mama.

9. HOW THE “TRICKY PEOPLE” CONCEPT SAVED MY BOYS
Sneak Peek:
Quick backstory. Actually, I’m incapable of condensing anything so it can be considered “quick” but I’ll try. Three days ago I was in the shower around 8:30am when it felt like I was shot in my left ovary. You didn’t see that one coming, did you? ???? In short, it was an unbearable pain that had me doubled over, light-headed, and incredibly nauseous. Well, with the help of some unseen angels, truly, I somehow got enough clothes on my body to be decent, and drove my four kids and myself five minutes to our small town ER. (I realized after this all blew over how foolish it was for me to drive while in intense pain. Be smarter than I was and call an ambulance should you find yourself in a similar situation!)
10. 10 REASONS I LOVE SNAPCHAT AND YES I’M A MOM
Sneak Peek:
I’m nearly 40 and I have three kids between the ages of 5-9. I also have a best friend who is 20 years younger than me. We pretty much have the same taste in music, TV and movies but grew up in different generations. She taught me what bae meant (although it still confuses me) and I introduced her to Friends (she watched all 10 seasons in a couple of months time).
