It seems appropriate to make my first post on Mother's Day 2011, and I hope this day has been lovely for moms everywhere.

The purpose of this blog is to have a way to articulate and explore my adventures and feelings as a mom. My oldest is a about to graduate from high school and head to college, and I find that there isn't much out there to connect to for support and insight as this milestone as a mom approaches. I'm thrilled for my son but a bit terrified too. He has traits of Aspergers so this transition, already huge for every kid, is a bit more complicated for him. Or for me?! I look forward to having a means to clarify this for myself and perhaps connect with others.
