I’m Sarah. 35 years old. Wife of Bobby. Mother of Rose, age 2. Eldest sister of Sue & Jennifer. Daughter of Marty & Denise.

In 2006, my mother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Ten months later, in September 2007, she died. Then I had three miscarriages. And everything really sucked.

In January 2011, I took a pregnancy test in a McDonald’s bathroom & it was positive (again). Thanks to fabulous drugs, that positive test resulted in Rose Frances, born in September 2011.

I blogged from 2006 to 2012, when I finally fizzled. For 5 years, I had been snarky & bitter & sad. When things got better, I felt self-conscious because I was so annoyingly happy.

So here I am again a year later… writing & journaling & chronicling our little lives in a new space. Welcome!
