There was a small situation that came from Cora's first birthday party, involving social media and well, my child. Let me preface this by saying, I'm not to bothered by people posting photos of her. Everyday I post a photo of her on Instagram (private account) and occasionally on Facebook. We have a lot of family, all over, that [...]

Another Child?
I didn't know this was a thing but when you your child turns 1, they are no longer a baby and the tides will turn.

(I forgot to write about 9 months, but it did happen!) Here we are in the middle of 10 months having just celebrated a nice Labor day weekend. I spent the past two years, at this time, being pregnant, so it was an odd feeling to look back on. We entered the 10th month while [...]
Ups and Downs of Marriage
Forget parenting. Forget work decisions and career options. Forget trying to figure out a household budget. You know what is hard and sometimes just fucking weird? Marriage.
