Read MoreI'm no Mother's Day expert (Sunday was only my fourth Mother's Day ), however I am enough of an expert to know that it just felt strange. I'd like to think there is no stigma attached to single parenting, however I swear I felt the stares yesterday. Literally, every mom I saw along our walk and at the park was there with an entire family; kids, and husband in tow.
Read MoreI've been posting a lot recently about Hudson being sick, and then me being sick. I receive countless messages of concern, suggestions, and sincere love, so for all of you, thank you.

Read MoreLast night, after a weekend spent with Hudson, I was left feeling sad, emotional, and drained. I have him every weekend (Thursday-Monday), and make it my top priority to ensure we play, make memories, go on adventures, learn, and snuggle. We typically "do it all", and then I'm literally exhausted by the end of the weekend, just in time to start a fresh work week. Adversely, on a given day when we don't "do it all", and we stay home most of the day and do chores and watch movies and play (like yesterday), I'm left feeling guilty and empty. "Did I do enough?"... "Maybe we should have gone somewhere, or done something!"

Their vision is to wear love, spread love, and just LOVE!
Read More"Bye-bye Mommy's house. See you in a few days!" Mommy, member when you used to live at daddy's house?"
Those were the words I heard as we rushed out the door today on our way to daycare and work. Mondays are my day to drop Hudson off, and then I won't see him again until picking him up late Thursday afternoon.
