The voice comes from the back seat of my car.
Before I was a mom, I had all kinds of ideas about how I would parent. No television. Limited processed foods. And I certainly wouldn’t stand for a tantrum in the grocery store. (Hah! I was so funny back then.)
On October 3rd, 2016, my 36-year-old husband had a stroke. You may have read my previous article about the entire experience. If you haven’t, you might want to start there before diving into this one. Here’s the link: http://blog.mabelslabels.com/my-healthy-husband-had-a-stroke-at-36-years-old/
As a blogger, I’m constantly looking for interesting topics and things to write about. The advice many writers give and receive is “write what you know” and in my experience, this is true. My best writing is generally that which deals with material I’m intimately familiar with.
I really enjoyed a recent post on the Mabelhood entitled “Real Men Can Handle Unicorn-Related Crises.” In it, the author shares her appreciation for her husband and the active role he plays in parenting their three little girls. She describes how he plays with unicorn stuffies and kisses boo-boos, but adds that it’s really so much more than that:
It is spring time! I absolutely love this warmer weather and what better way to celebrate spring than with lemons 😉
I carried it in my throat. The fear I mean.
When Spring rolls around, most of us welcome it with open arms! Finally, warmer weather arrives, snow disappears, and it’s absolutely glorious! But with Spring, comes a few little unwanted creatures. You know, spiders in the house, mice crossing our paths, and in the case of our house…bats! So. Many. Bats.
