It’s been a hard week. Do you ever feel like you’re not doing anything right? I mean in a deep, core-of-who-you-are kind of way. We all wear different titles: friend, mother, wife, doctor-lawyer-indian chief (you know what I’m trying to say). There’s a level…
This post is either for other moms of young kids or for women who’d like a reminder to be vigilant with their chosen method of birth control. You’ve been warned… There was a day, long long ago and far away, when I dreamed of…
