It All Begins Somewhere
For me, it began 25 years ago when I married my wonderful husband, the Boxman. He was duly warned...I told him the night we met that I wanted four kids so he went into this adventure with his eyes wide open. It's been fun and crazy, frustrating at times, but always exactly where I wanted to be. I've often thought how unfair it is that we only get one pass through life and we are stumbling through it most of the time, especially when it comes to raising kids. There are too many mistakes to make them all on your own so this is my attempt to pass on what I've learned. It will have tips on raising kids, on how to run a well-oiled machine of a house, some recipes and anything else I think might be helpful. Now you ask, what qualifies you to do this and expect that I'll want to listen? Just 25 years in the trenches, raising four children who have turned out amazingly well, sometimes because of my husband and me, but more often in spite of us. I hope you find some nugget that helps you as you nurture your family because when your children are grown (or almost grown) and you really like the people that they have become, it seems that nothing on earth matters so much.
