I don’t know if I can truly describe how it feels. It’s like butter melting on a hot knife; honey oozing out of the honeycomb. Like a wave of comfort coming over me, enveloping me from head to toe, and I get lost in its warmth. It makes me feel…

“Mommy, did you know that there are many ways to die?” I pulled my son’s uniform over his head, trying not to show that I was taken aback by this out-of-the-blue statement. We were getting ready for school and he was fresh from the shower, lathered with lotion, his damp…

The idea hit me while I was driving home after school drop-off. I remembered the Dr. Seuss classic, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! and I knew instantly that it was going to be the theme of the baby shower my mom is throwing for us. I got home and immediately looked…

Oh God, I’m so tired. I’m so tired of being scared every single time I have to pee. Of that moment each time I look down and hope to that there’s no blood. Tired that everything I do could lead to another contraction, another ER trip we can’t afford. I’m…

Continue reading →: Allergy Awareness Update!So it’s been a month since my last update, sorry about that! It’s been a whirlwind of a month, with Stellar coming up very soon, a few El Preggo issues here and there, and my son finally going to school! But I do have some really happy updates!
Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
