About Us

Last year in March my husband and I found out to our delight that I was expecting.  It was a wonderful time in our lives. I was working as a Massage Therapist, which I loved, and the company my husband worked for was diversifying meaning more responsibilities for him and, we hoped, the raise he had been promised.

Then in early June my husband was fired. Turns out the owner had been sinking all his profits into the new venture which was already in trouble.  In response he started firing the employees to save on payroll, my husband was one of the first to be fired without warning. 

Things got worse when my husband filed for unemployment as it was disputed by the manager who, despite witness, claimed my husband had quit.  His claim was denied in August.

He wasn’t granted an appeal hearing until two weeks before my due date. Much to our relief he won.

I gave birth to a wonderful daughter a few days after she was due.

So here we are a year later: I am juggling being a working mother, my husband is still desperately seeking a new job while trying to hold down the home front. This isn’t what we envisioned a year ago but we are trying to make it work.
