Following my recent health scare, I took matters into my own hands and signed up for a trainer at the gym (they had a fantastic deal). This is my second week working out with a professional, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn how to exercise.
If you don’t have the money or the […]

Thanks to Carrie, we can all snoop on our potential romantic partners.

And it’s all mine. As a sometimes silly female, I have always deferred to […]

I’m home. There’s something wrong with me and a trip to the doctor’s tomorrow morning will give me a course of action, at least. But it got me thinking… what would I do if I were truly sick, and unable to care for my child?
