I am a 30-something mom to 4 wonderful sons, the eldest three of whom have fallen over the cusp of teenagerhood, the youngest of whom is 10. They are my full time job, my hobby, my inspiration and my life. I cannot imagine a life in which I was never a mother. Motherhood has defined me in a way nothing else ever could.
After being a single mom for a few years, in February of 2009 I married the love of my life, the KoD, who brought me the additional gift of his two daughters and son. Because of the immigration laws, it took us 19 months until we were able to be living under the same roof. I was waiting for papers for myself and my sons up in Montreal that would allow us to move to where my KoD lives in Monsey NY. I spent a lot of time on the I-87 driving to and from NY. It’s a six hour drive with border crossings to contend with. As of September 21, 2010 I am a legal resident of the USA and have moved lock, stock and barrel to NY.

I like your blog, I am a 40+ Primetime Parent, BT, SAHM to 3 children under 3, and I’d like to visit your site more often. Check out my profile on twitter, primetimeparent.
Love your blog. Will visit often. I agree about being a Mom. Most wondrous thing in life. Envy you the King of Diamonds. Was a single parent for 18 years and got married again — big mistake and it did not last long. Now I think it will be the critters and me for life. Interesting how things change over the years. Good luck and keep on writing.
Time to update your blog details: A Brief Bio and Cast of Characters need tweaking!

And you write well. That’s probably the best “About” I’ve ever read.
I wish you the best of luck with your immigration, and congrats on your first wedding anniversary.
thank you and welcome!!
Hadassah Sabo Milner rules. She knows why.

When I saw the the reference to the “King of Diamons”, I knew I had seen it somewhere else.
Here, perhaps?
The only question is, when did I ever read that essay over there? I’m a bit creeped out, and I’m generally hopelessly biased in my favor! 😛
Mazel tov, kol tuv!!

welcome to my little corner of the JBlogosphere!!
I found you through both the Chavis (Kochava at Crazy Jewish Convert and Chaviva), and I love your blog. You seem like such a lovely, warm-hearted person, and your writing manages to be both thought-provoking and funny at the same time. I get a special kick out of your wacky sign series.
