Days are looking different here at the Cucci Stronghold. They have for the past 58 days. (I’ll just let that number marinate for a minute…) With the husband working from home, 3 kiddos under an e-learning mandate and myself job hunting, it’s going to be a miracle if I won’t need a psychiatrist or AA …
A Cape and A Cup of Joe
Parenting is a 24/7 marathon, not an occasional side hobby you fit in when time permits.

As a relatively novice stay at home mom, I know I make …

They’re young and vivacious, with beautiful souls. We all know someone who is fighting their battle or fought strong to the …
