I’ve been lucky enough to have some wonderful mother figures, in addition to my own mom, who have helped guide me on my journey through life.

This post is co-written by bloggers – and sisters – Gena Golas and Christa Allard. There’s a saying “Home is where Mom is” and we agree, even though we both have long since moved out of our parents’ house and created homes of our own. Still, there’s nothing like those childhood moments to make you
Today is a tribute to my amazing mother who somehow raised four daughters (and well), worked and kept her sanity. Being a mother now I have absolutely no freaking clue how she did not have a nervous breakdown or screw us up big time, but somehow she survived and has come out on the other
