Love + Marriage

  Mom Guilt. Two little words that often linger in a mother's head and cause undue suffering. If you're a mother, and I'm going to guess if you're reading this you certainly are (or soon-to-be), this is a feeling you've...

It's true, the theme or motto of my wedding was "I don't care."  I'll happily admit that.  It's not like I didn't care that I was getting married, it was more of I didn't care about all of the...

Yup, I just said sex. We are going there. Dad, stop reading right about...now. This post isn’t just meant to be scandalous, it’s meant to be informative too. As some of you know, my specialization area in my work as...

I have been known to watch the show Who Do You Think You Are? once or twice where celebrities take a look at their genealogy. I used to think it was odd that some of them would get so...

I'm not sure why but coming up with a Father's Day related post was hard for me.   I have fond memories of Father's Day and a very close relationship with my Dad but I had no ideas of what...

You're a Stepmom, not a Real Mom. You can't possibly understand because you don't actually have your own children. Mother's Day isn't for you. I am a stepmom and I've heard it all.  I've believed it all.  And there are times when...
