And Then I Got Sick

"It turned out to be a good opportunity for our kids ..."

I had so many plans, but they all went by the wayside when I got sick (and I mean really sick) recently. As a co-founder at ThinkBaby.org, I regularily devote time to writing and cultivating articles for our readers on a wide variety of topics related to children including baby gear, feeding babies, and recipes. Readers appreciate that we provide thoughts about a lot of things which you can see when you scan some of our most recent stories which included thoughts on things like healthy toddler sleep habits, toddler play, and comparing free-style vs. forced parenting. 

Being sick was no fun, and I hope I'm never that sick again, but some unexpected good did come from it. 

​It turned out to be a good opportunity for our kids to bond and interact with both sets of grandparents who were nice enough to swoop in and take care of them whilst I was completely out of action, and my husband was working. I'm grateful that they were willing to keep our house together and our kids fed, bathed, nurtured and loved during the last weeks.  

Thankfully I'm feeling great again and am back at it; managing the kids, the house, the web site, and the work. Check out my latest story:  Infertility & TTC: Why Self-Love is the Most Important Thing.
