I told my son to get in the car because we were going grocery shopping. He asked me if "the 5 brothers" could come, too. We only have a son and daughter, so I asked him who the five brothers were? He proceeded to introduce me to "the brothers". He said, "Mom, this is Ben, Micheal, Jack, Blooded-half, and me. We are the five brothers." You can imagine my horror when he named the fourth brother. I said, "Honey, I don't think I like the name Blooded-half." My son said, with his hands out to his side and his head shaking from side-to-side, "Mom, that's his name, you can't change a name." Ever since then, "Blooded-half" has been a part of our family. I often forget how horrible that name is until he introduces him to our pediatrician, or the cashier at the grocery store, or some unsuspecting parent. What is in a name, anyway?
Hi, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and listening ear. My carreer choice has been counseling, but my passion is helping women. God has me home with my kids for a season, so I thought why not try and help a few women during my kids' nap time everyday. As women we a have our own complicated, unique way of viewing the world and communicate it in a language all our own. I promise to share some of my own joys and frustrations, and hopefully some tips that have helped me along the way as well. There will be days I dive into life's tough issues and days when I tell you what my favorite meal for the week is, so hopefully you find something you relate with on either spectrum. May this site speak your language. Have fun!
