“I now work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, creating and selling food miniatures.”
“When other parents of deaf children took notice, requests for more custom dolls came pouring in!”
“My pre-baby body didn’t birth four human beings. My pre-baby body didn’t know the true meaning of sacrifice, sleepless nights. My pre-baby body didn’t know love like I know now.”
“These parents coming clean are sure to make you laugh.”
“Baby Ellianna hasn’t been able to hear at all… until now!”
“‘You’re fine. I’ll call the doctor, but it’s probably nothing.’ They pulled mother aside and asked if she was sure I wasn’t pregnant. ‘99% sure.’ When the test came back negative, we were told, ‘All your daughter’s organs are covered with a huge mass.'”
“I am setting higher standards.”
“When my kids were little, friends were a lifeline. We got together daily to keep our sanity. As our kids got older, and we entered the ‘sweet spot’ before adolescence, I put my friendships on the back burner. But in the past 18 months, I’ve needed my friends on a new level.”

“I was just a child and I was having to take care of my mother. Making sure she ate, making sure she didn’t drown in her bowl of soup, and making sure she didn’t fall asleep with a cigarette in her mouth and burn the house down. She was supposed to be taking care of me, not me taking care of her.”
