Have you heard about love languages? It's basically five different ways to show your love for someone else. As an adult, you can take a quiz to see what ways you like to be loved, and how you prefer...
Dear one-year-ago me,
I remember the pain of that last month of pregnancy. Your pelvis aches every moment of the day – the only difference is whether it’s merely uncomfortable or outright painful. You can hardly sleep between the heartburn,...
I have a pit bull. I have a toddler. No, I am not insane.
Let’s start at the beginning. In June 2013, on a bit of a whim and without a ton of forethought, I adopted a five-month-old pit bull...
You know how your parents always used to say, “You’ll thank me when you’re older?” And it was usually right before or after they did something annoying, like lay down some silly rule about curfews or dating. As soon...
The days of diapers, potty seats, and pull-ups in my family are long gone. But I still remember it like it was yesterday...

Fashion has always been a mystery to me. Like how do you match those crazy patterned leggings? I can never find a shirt that looks right with them. Also, when did baggy shirts come back in style? And why...
My son is two and half years old. Since he was 17 months, we have been letting him watch some TV. We started with some Kidsongs (a show from the 80s with real children singing songs and dancing). It...

With school starting this month, my child's status as a stay-at-home child will come to an end. She will be starting preschool for the first time. Up until now, I have had the good fortune of being able to...
