I'm a 40-ish stay-at-home mom blogging for dear life. My life is filled with love: for my husband (who is a recovering sex addict), for my two children (one autistic and one neurotypical), for my writing, for my friends, for my God and (when I'm feeling generous) even for myself. Come share my journey.
