A few weeks ago I had a routine doctor’s appointment. Before stepping on the scale, I made sure to take off my coat, put my purse down, and then remove my shoes – a routine I’ve got down pat....
I stumbled upon some old pictures from high school the other day. There she was, right in the middle of it all - a girl I hardly knew. She was tall and thin with a great big smile, but...
A-what-a-phobia?
I know, I know. You probably just rolled your eyes.

I am a 28-year-old woman and mother of three children. I am...
The time is here. The pastels, the baskets, the dresses, the egg hunts, and yes, the CANDY! In my case, lots of it. My father purchases an annual Easter basket for my son. ( I gave up buying one years...

Okay, so they don't fully understand yet why some bodies menstruate or what exactly happens during menstruation, but I have not hidden my own period from them and...
A special thanks to guest blogger, Lauren Gibbs.
Waiting anxiously for a call back from the nurse. Boiling nebulizers late at night. Starting the day early so breathing treatments are finished before rushing out the door. Tossing and turning because you...

I, myself, have read many; how to balance life, work, friends, school, kids, husbands, families ...Oh My Word – I am getting...
Hi, my name is Kelsey. I'm a married mother of two and I don't know all of the proper names for my own body parts (I'm looking at you vagina flaps, because that can't be what you're called). Are...
