My Case Against Santa

My children are five and almost three years old.  They already know, as well as they are able to understand, that Santa is not real.  Think that’s a tragedy?  Wait until you hear that I’m the one who “ruined” it for them.

What's in a name?

Who qualifies as an experienced mom?

Am I an experienced mom?   I have two children.  The oldest will be five in a few days.  He hasn’t even started school yet so I know I have much to experience and much to learn.  At the same time, I have a hard time remembering what my life was like before I became a mom.  The newness has certainly worn off.

It's always something...

Amanda grew up in a small town in northern Ohio.  It’s the kind of place where teachers accidentally called her by her sister’s name and even occasionally, her mother’s.  Even though Amanda has grown comfortable in Cary, ties to her hometown, where her father is currently Mayor, are still strong.

 

She moved to the Triangle when she got married in July of 1999 as her husband, D, had a job here.  She soon found work in a field she never knew existed, but gave up a paycheck when her first child was born in May of 2003.  Y got a little sister, J, in February 2006.  Exactly one day after J turned three, the household was blessed with twins, baby boy G and baby girl M.
