November is Prematurity Awareness Month. RiverDog Prints supports one cause or charity a month and this one rests very close to home. I will be posting once a week in November, retelling my story of prematurity. I warn you before you read that some details are a bit graphic and personal, but anyone who has…

Fight for Preemies – November 17
Just a reminder that November is Prematurity Awareness Month and the March of Dimes wants us to get our fight on! Raising awareness is a great way to get people involved in what you care about and the more informed your community is, the more they feel empowered to help. I’m writing about my experience…

9 Years
9 years of happiness, turmoil, extreme sleep-deprivation and laughing. We had a beautiful wedding and the marriage part has been lovely. To my true partner in this life, happy anniversary, sweetheart!
Not Well
Yup, that represents me up there. I have a chronic illness and it’s getting the better of me. I’m working on a lengthy post about it, but I’m too tired to finish. Too tired to finish many things on my list. Rest is key. Being a mom, I will grab what I can, when I…
My Failure as a Girlie-Girl

BIG Mistakes
I made one, and yeah, it was a doozy! It was one of those mistakes that make you stop dead in your tracks and rethink quite a few things you thought you had under control. I’m writing about it here because it’s important to not let it slide by even if it seems to resolved….
I’m No Athlete… or am I?
Since my girlhood, I’ve loved to be outside. Labeled a tomboy, I would spend hours in the sandbox, on my bike and swinging in the backyard. You could also find me snuggled in bed with books for hours on end or watching Charlie’s Angels and The Hardy Boys (LOVED Shaun Cassidy). Now, instead of enjoying…
