Welcome to My Real Life Parenting! I am really glad that you found me! This site is a collection of tales stemming from my experiences raising my children.
For the past 18 years, my mother has spent countless hours listening to my child rearing stories. Some good, some bad. Every conversation always included her encouragement that I should write these down. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that to be true - yes I should. But raising four kids didn't provide much convenient writing time. Alas, I have embarked upon the shores of teenagehood and am now finding more time on my hands and a heart full of stories bursting to be told.
Thus, a blog has been born...
