It’s been a little over a year since I started this blog. Since then, we’ve added four more writers, all of whom add countless years of writing experience. More than that, in the last year, we’ve shared humor, loss, guilt, anger, and jealousy–all emotions that sit at the crux of motherhood.

In one of those never-ending afternoons when I’ve yelled at my children multiple times, sent several knife-in-the-back looks toward my husband as he walks out the front door on yet another errand, and wondered for the fifteenth time why I agreed to a haircut that makes me even moreso resemble my mother, I realize I’m at the end of my weekly rope and in need of a break.
