Posts Tagged ‘boys’

When I first became a mom, nervousness set over me. I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know where to start. I literally poured over every book to try and learn whatever I could.

Four kids later I am here to say that no parenting book can prepare you for raising your children. Especially when you have a house full of boys. (In my case, four to be exact.)

They don’t give you the good, the bad and the ugly. Like how to realistically stop sibling rivalry or how to remove permanent marker from skin. (In my case, I had to wait about three days and several bath soakings later.) They sugar coat how tiring, stressful and depressing parenting can be sometimes. And they fail to highlight how exciting and rejuvenating and energizing parenting can be at the same time.

I love all of my boys equally. They bring me so much joy, and to say that parenting has saved my life would be an understatement.

Follow me on my journey as I blog about the good, the bad, and the ugly of my parenting experiences living in a “house full of blue” parenting all boys (which include my fiance as well).
