Confessions of Insta-Mom
As told to my friend, author and editor Ralene Burke. Click through at the end for the rest of the blog and to enter to win a copy of The Progeny and Firstborn!
Last year, in the space of “I do,” I married the man of my dreams, became a farmer’s wife and insta-mom of four.
And so this city girl who’d once sworn off marriage and had long given up the dream of children moved out to the farm and into my new family’s lives.
My confessions, to this end, are myriad:
-I own three crockpots. I’m not afraid to use them all at once.
- I now understand why my mom hid her Russell Stover candy under the chair in the living room.
- I may or may not have several caches of goodies stashed around the house.
- And there might be more hiding behind the vegetables.
- I have never downed so many energy drinks in my life …
- Or gone to bed before 9:30 pm more than once in a single year—until now.
- No one other than these kids has ever had the propensity to make me cry with a hug.
