5 Signs Mom Needs Some Alone Time
We’re waiting for the arrival of our third child and it’s brought up an interesting discussion between my husband and me. We’ve been having dinner dates once a month since December. Although I enjoy his company, I’ve been thinking about how much I really need some alone time. As we prepare to juggle the lives of three children and two pups, I’ve been contemplating a once-a-month trip to the salon (nail or hair).

#WonderWoman Raised Me

Being raised with three brothers meant I had to learn to be tough, but my inner strength comes from my mother. She has always been compassionate, stubborn and opinionated — and I wouldn’t want her any other way.
