Motherhood: A Day in the Life #8 – Sherry

Across the Board, Wall-to-Wall and 24 hours with Teenagers! I am pleased, happy, overwhelmed and completely blessed to be the mom of three boys, ages 15, 13 and 11.  I know that every family experiences the teenage years differently, as kids are different and family dynamics vary.  Even so, I think there are attributes among this age group that are universal.  It can be compared to a second bout of the terrible twos.

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #6 – Julie

T minus months to parental retirement My alarm starts going off at 6:20AM. I really should get up then. If I did, my morning would be less hectic. But I never do. I don’t have parenting duties in the morning like I used to have. My son is capable of getting up and getting out of the house on his own. Still, I usually make sure he’s out of bed by 7:05. Sometimes he’s glad because he’s … Read entire article »

When Fawn first put out the Bat signal for “A Day in the Life” guest posts, I first thought about writing it from my 11-year-old daughter’s perspective. She imagines I drop her off to school and then hurry back to my cozy kitchen – where the computer lives – and hang out all day, emptying the fridge of its contents and reading my blawgs (the modern day mom’s Days of Our Lives) until it’s time to pick … Read entire article »

Motherhood: A Day in the Life #2 – Stephanie M

Working mom, toddler mom, blogging mom You know that moment when you become aware that you are awake and you can tell its light outside, but you haven’t yet opened your eyes? That moment that’s peaceful for about one fifteenth of second until you panic and think, “Oh no! Have I overslept.” I hate that moment because it is immediately followed with all kinds of internal negotiations about exactly what time I need to get out of … Read entire article »
