I often look at the parents of babies and toddlers when I am out and about with a mix of envy and relief. I fondly remember cradling my precious little ones and watching them discover the world while they...
Admittedly, I’m not a bodily fluids kinda girl. I’m easily grossed out and a sympathetic puker. Public restrooms are my own personal kind of hell. The smells. The water on the floor (or is that pee?). Paper towels spilling...

I recently read a article about seeing our children not...
When I announced my pregnancy last year, a number of people—mostly strangers—reacted to the news with a peculiar and somewhat rude question:
