After-Brunch Tears
We had brunch together this morning. Kristie, Dayo, and baby Kayo. Noelle, Carter, little Sadie and baby Brynn. And me. Kristie, Noelle and I clustered around one end of the table, still reveling in all being together again after 12 years of living in different places. We've all changed so much in that time, but we've stayed in touch. The most visible and tangible changes are evident in the husbands and children who have been added to our group.

How to Stop Newborns from Crying!
If you are here because you are a new parent and have a newborn screaming constantly, the first thing to do, is just breathe... and know that everything is going to be alright. Babies spend around nine months inside the mom's belly, so coming into the real world is VERY unfamiliar to them. It is normal for them to cry!

Finally Coming Home
Monday, I hated that day. Especially, a snowy, freezing, miserable December day in Michigan. As I made my way to our break room, I heard the usual. “Morning LT, Morning Lieutenant Flynn, nice day, isn’t it LT?” My people loved to aggravate me. All of them knew until I had my first cup of coffee, I hated to talk. I went into our breakroom, grabbed a coffee mug, and poured a cup of the Elixir of the Gods. Just as I took my first sip, Detective Ellen Johnson interrupted me.

Grandma and Me
When I opened my eyes for the first time, you were by my side, you loved me more than anything in this life. I grew up a little bit and we shared the same room together. You told me interesting stories. We had sheep, chickens and a donkey. We used to take care of them together.

Inheriting My Family- Part 1
Last year, I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack and to be honest, it took quite a bit of time to get myself back together. At the time of my dad’s death, I was still in my final year of university and had spent most of 2020–2021 cooped up at home due to Covid restrictions.

A Guy Called Me a Homemaker and I Didn't Even Hit Him or Nothin'
This summer my family and I moved to a new town. It’s a small town, a friendly place where we got to know most of our neighbors in short order. There are all the usual suspects: The retirees, the semi-retirees, the coffee shop owner, the professional couple…

But the children knew.
A raindrop fell, then a second and third. It took very little time for the strange woods of twisting trees to be descended upon by an unrelenting downpour. The first bright, crisp flash of lightning cut across the sky like cracking glass, followed almost immediately by thunder like the cry of an angry beast.

Running Free
I closed the door quietly behind me, as I slipped out to get my two older kids from the bus stop. I was lucky to live close to the bus stop. The bus pulled right in front of my house, and I only had to walk to the other side of the street to greet the bus. My little girl was in kindergarten, so they wouldn’t let her off the bus without seeing a parent. Her older brother would wait patiently at the door while she tottered off the bus, her oversized backpack often handed to me by the bus driver because it would knock her over. We hadn't lived there long. The house was a wreck of boxes, and we still didn't have the furniture fully put together. I'd enrolled the kids as quickly as I could to give them a sense of security that came from school and friends.
