I stopped breathing for a minute when I saw these. I just got these pictures from my husbands car accident last August and I seriously don't know how all 3 of them came out alive.

This is the backseat where my husand was sitting. — This is the backseat where my husband was sitting. Notice how even the back of the truck is smashed into the backseat.

Yet somehow the irony of that little smiley face light cover makes me laugh!

Paramedics at the scene

The creepiest thing about this picture is that my husband is in the back seat of the truck and the paramedic is stabilizing his neck.

The good news is that they all came out alive! He's still recovering 7 months later but these pictures remind me of how much worse it could have been!

The Sex Talk

I knew it was coming soon and it's been on my mind for a while. I almost felt like I was in a race with some kid on the playground. Who was going to get to my child first?

It's time to talk about ALL THE THINGS.

My 8th grader came home from school today and told me about the conversation they had in Home Economics. Her teacher told the kids that if they ever had an active shooter in their school, that in her classroom, they would arm themselves.
