Trips for Two by Sharon O’Donnell
September 7th, 2019
One of the things about being an older mom with a child considerable younger than his/her siblings, is that you inevitably begin to spend more time one-on-one with that youngest child as time passes and the siblings get older. When my two oldest sons were in college, I found myself ...

February 28th, 2016

October 11th, 2012
I never knew before the birth of our daughter how much I would love being a mom. This past year I have even thought, “Maybe we shouldn’t have waited so long to have our first child. Maybe we should’ve had our first child earlier.” I started thinking about it again ...
