amotherhoodblog in Just Between Us - 3 comments - posted on Nov 19th, 2012I grew up on Sesame Street, not really but wouldn’t that be a cool place to be when you’re little! I did watch the show and have fond memories of it growing up. I remember Sesame Street being my go-to show after lunch during the Kindergarten days. I was one of those kids who got to go home for lunch so it gave me a chance to watch it at my babysitters house. Those fun, fictional characters I grew up with are now helping educate and entertain my own kids! They have been Sesame Street fans since they were old … Continue reading

Making #Sonymemories – Sony Handycam review
amotherhoodblog in Product Reviews - 1 comment - posted on Jun 19th, 2012Making memories is something we have been doing since we became a family. We have dozens upon dozens of photos and some videos, too few in my opinion.

It’s been a couple of weeks since the courier dropped off the box which has given us some time to get familiar with it, … Continue reading

This is part of the definition according wikipedia however, to me the role of Motherhood is define by so much more than that. Whether birthed, adopted or taken in, the … Continue reading
