How this blog came to be

I am a stay at home mom.  I have six kids.  I'm surviving.  Its all good.  Well, mostly all good.  There are some days I'd prefer to lock myself in a room~oh heck, lets be honest~There are some days I'd like to be sitting in first class on my way to some exotic location where I can have unlimited drinks by a crystal clear sea and have my only worry be weather I want to use a higher SPF on my sunscreen. 

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a friend.  She has a senior and a freshman in high school.  I have a senior, two juniors, a sophomore, an 8th grader and a 3rd grader.  While chatting about college options for our seniors and scholarships, and day to day life she said, "You have to  put this information out there.   You have to share this with others."  So, I'm going to give it a try.  I'm going to start this blog, and share my life and the lessons I learn and hope to connect with other moms of teens and tweens and see if together we can make this journey a little easier for all of us.
