Ugly Underwear Confession
Confession Friday:
I have a pair of underwear from the 7th grade. I still wear them regularly. They are half camouflage, half red, with multiple holes, and all the elastic is stretched out so I need to role them. On top of that, Brian complains that I not only have them in my possession, but wear them regularly.

She then called Target’s corporate customer service number and was told by a representative, and then her supervisor that … Keep Reading!!!

We all know he isn’t real.
I’ve come to learn there are different Santa familes:
Family 1: Hardcore Santa-ers. Go big or go home. I even think the adults may believe in him.
Family 2: The Anti-Santa-ers. The jolly rosie-cheeked man is about as accepted in this house as a burglar.
Family 3: Some may say lukewarm Santa-ers? Keeping with the secular tradition of Santa with the children fully … Keep Reading!!!

A Breastfeeding Story: Breastfeeding After HELLP Syndrome
I met Wendy through a cloth diapering group I joined when Aram was a couple months old!

No one ever told me that breastfeeding would be the hardest thing I would ever do.
