The dreaded sisterhood of being 1 in 4.

As women, we are genetically made to want to belong. Typically we are more social than men. We have a longing to be part of something; a group, a community, a sisterhood, some may say. Today, however, many of us are realizing we are part of an even larger community than we could have ever […]

“Cherish every single moment.”

Everyone always says you will change when you become a mother. They then proceed to list all the things that will change; your sleep schedule, your body, your love for your spouse, your free time, so on and so forth.
