I love the 5 things you’ve said recently. LOL! Now tell me: are these things that you had imagined saying EVER, before you became a mom?

I just loaned out my copy of ‘Real Boys’. It was a wonderful read. I got a lot out of it. Being a mother to boys has really helped heal a lot of male-related wounds in my past. I get to see what can shape boys to become the men we want (or don’t want) them to be. I feel a responsibility to womankind, bringing three men into the world. It will be a big accomplishment if they make their future parterns as happy as my husband makes me
PS: If you win the lottery, could you please send a jet up my way and we can have some mommy time together?
Thanks.
