Parents Need to be Parents
Dear Reader, The idea of becoming a mother terrifies me. There’s a huge amount of responsibility that comes with children, but also the unconditional love of a person you made. It’s something that in years to come, I hope to experience – but not today, this year or next. I’m Read More

Grocery Shopping Made Awkward
Dear Reader, You might think I’m a social butterfly, and in the right circumstances I am – but grocery shopping is not a social experience in my bubble world. Typically I like to stick in some ear buds and listen to my iPod. I live in an eclectic area where Read More
Dangling Bits
Dear Reader, Have you been to the movies recently? Have you left the theater wondering what you just watched? My brother and I went to see Bridesmaids. Yes, my manly brother went to see a raunchy chick flick. We expected to see lots of dirty humor, crazy wedding scenes and Read More
