She is human, and she has the right to be free, to be happy, and most importantly, to live. To Live. But those rights are stripped from countless women every […]

When Does This Party Start Already? (or, Hooray, I’m Not Pregnant Anymore!)
It’s 4:00 AM on Halloween, and the husband and I have already started the party. We’re in our costumes…have been for nearly 48 hours now. I don’t know about his, but mine is pretty gruesome.

Learning to Be Still
It’s late, I know. I’m usually in bed by now, but tonight seems to be one of those nights where sleep eludes me, even when I need it most. We sat down tonight and watched Book of Life. I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a good animated movie, and because of my fascination […]
