Maybe I Am A Good Mom

Maybe I am just finding a peace within myself, maybe I am finally after ten years getting comfortable as a parent or maybe I really am a semi-good mom, I'm not sure exactly but somehow I realize that my daughter is truly better for having me as a part of her life.

Comfort Scents

The house smells good. Justi's buttermilk pie is in the fridge chilling, I just pulled out a peach crisp pie and have gravy cooking on the stove. We are having Hot beef sandwiches from a left over roast last night with homemade coleslaw and mashed potatoes. There was a time not that long ago that... Sign in to see full entry.
