While in NYC, I talked with my hosts about weird house guests. New Yorkers always have the “weird house guest” story, because they have so MANY guests.
One odd guest of theirs placed an eye pack over his eyes to nap in the middle of the day in their living room and crossed his arms crossed […]
Yesterday, I shared a recipe for a delicious stir fry. It’s gone! Mysterious. I’ll resurrect it somehow and post it again soon.

I never thought I’d make it to more than a year of nursing. Now, we’ve been nursing for 14 months.
I had my baby while standing in my front hallway. I delivered her myself. Afterwards, […]
Many mothers have every intention of retuning to their full-time job after giving birth to their first child. And then…

When a woman refused to place a blanket over her baby while nursing on a Delta flight, the woman was kicked off the plane. I’ve nursed on multiple flights and never had a problem. Since several U.S. agencies confirm how good nursing is for children, I find it hard to believe nursing in public is […]
This mom from down under must contend with a large scary spider.
Have I mentioned that I’m terrified of bugs. We used to have ants in my house as a child, and I’d have nightmares. In one respect, I find them completely fascinating. Ants, especially, are intriguing in how hard they work and how far […]
Motherhood Issues Featured on 20/20 Tonight!
Since I don’t watch television, I’d never heard of Elizabeth Vargas until I read an article about how she had a baby and had to switch jobs so she could have more time with her child. Having to switch jobs tuned Ms. Vargas into what other mothers endure and the […]
Do you have kids? Do you plan on having kids?
Above are the kinds of questions you can be asked on a job interview in Pennsylvania. In a lot of states, asking such questions is illegal. Help prevent discrimination against your fellow mothers.
You can help make history by signing this petition to help mothers, which will […]
