    **warning:  if you don’t want to hear about NFP (Natural Family Planning), you might just want to skip down to everyone else….

  • Thought the photo may suggest otherwise, I did have a lovely Mother’s day.  Though I did NOT get the “Mom and kiddos” pic I envisioned, this one DOES make me laugh.  In reality, this IS what Motherhood is all about (for me, anyway…if yours is all pristine and serene you are missing out on fodder
