Dear Child of Mine- While you are still only 10, I'm realizing the more you grow up the faster the growing portion goes. I fear for the age of 16 and I'm left daily with a whole new set of fears that my friends can't even fathom with their wee babies yet. You and I [...]

Public Baby-Making
The Husband and I knew we wanted to get pregnant after we were married. A conversation for the two of us that didn't really need to involve anyone else. Boy was I wrong. I had no idea how quickly friends and family would take it upon themselves to offer opinions and advice on our sex [...]
Finding the time for communication
My first marriage lasted a little over four years, although we were together for almsot 10 years. I am grateful for every minute of time with my ex-husband and don't regret that marriage. For if it wasn't for him my current marriage wouldn't be what it is. While it was hard work to look at [...]

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes your family with sex advice?
Husband and I met 2 1/2 years ago and were married this past October. For some, you could say that was a lot in 2 years but for us it was all a natural step. After the wedding I did not have any of the post wedding blues that some brides go through. I was [...]
Having Faith and Not Fear
As I mentioned in my last post, I have spent a lot of time over coming things in my life to end up in a happy place, aside from the job. While I'm working on that goal I have realized it is much harder to have more faith than fear. It seems with every tiny [...]
