If you’re reading this, then I’m going to assume you had a baby in recent memory. If so, I’d say that at some point you were advised to “do your Kegels regularly.”
I’m also putting $100 on the fact...
Let me start by saying that I am so grateful to be fortunate enough to have access to treatments and therapies for my child that will help her become a completely normal little girl. I’m glad that there are...

I feel like there are two trends...
This month has been a doozy, and it’s not even June yet. There have been so many moments where I just wanted to tap out and take a week off from life. My family and I have been all...
