Wake me up when New [...]
I was surprised to learn that moms-to-be are actually hiring baby planners to help organize all the stuff, and do all the "research" to buy the right stuff, that comes with a new bundle.
I guess that on one hand it's not really that different from [...] 
One thing I hate about the holidays is that it points up the separateness of families after divorce.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about the stay at home mom and the working mom “jobs”. I’m sure there might be something in this post that will make someone angry. So let me say before I begin that I firmly believe that it’s a [...]
"Did your kids get the shot? Where did you get it? Do they have more?"
"Are your kids high risk? Mine aren't, but I'm going to lie."
"Who's going to the county clinics?"
