The “Year of the Pig” is almost upon us and we’re celebrating with some Chinese New Year Coloring Pages over here. Chinese New Year (often referred to as Lunar New Year) begins on January February 5th. Two of my kids are adopted from China so celebrating Chinese New Year is a thing for us. It’s…

I’m that older mom. You know, the oldest mom with the youngest kids everywhere she goes? I didn’t set out to be here, yet here I am. When I was in my twenties, I didn’t stop to think much about what life and motherhood would hold in my forties and beyond. I’m 50 now (eek!)…
