9 years ago today, a loud and wailing cry sounded from a tiny hospital room in North Santa Rosa. That’s right folks, the Taz had entered the building – and the world – and was making his presence known. (more…) 
Life seemed to start when my daughter was born in February of 1998. I was 20 years old and I knew nothing about motherhood. 3 years later and I also became the mom of a son. But when I look back at all that now, I can see that this was only the prologue. Life changes, and mine certainly did when I became a divorced mom with two kids to raise.
This is really where my story begins.
5 years later I have survived divorce, single motherhood, working full time, paying rent with one income, single mom dating, broken hearts, scraped knees, and lots of laughter and tears. I endured countless hours of Avatar marathons (and was just as captivated as the kids), connected with my kids on a deeper level than ever before, learned more and more about myself….and I am having the time of my life.
