February 14. Yes, THAT February 14. All the cards and chocolates and crazy people rushing around for the one-dozen roses - in hopes, they aren't being ripped off (but they probably are because they waited until the last minute)....
According to the National Coalition on Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. This statistic is staggering. The world of teen...
I’d be willing to bet that at some point during our pregnancies, we all heard stories about women who enjoyed toe-curling, mind-altering sex while pregnant… that their senses were heightened, their hormones were raging, and they wanted sex ALL...
So it happened it again, I forgot to say "Thank You."
My sweet husband ran to our local coffee shop to get us coffee. It was a cold, wet and dreary day, and he said he was wanting an Americano...
Raise your hand if you have ever heard the advice about putting on your own oxygen mask before assisting someone else.

In the past, I've been hurt by people. Some were friends but most of them were family. I feel like the hurt and hate that comes with family issues is so difficult because we learn to trust them at...
Dude at the gym,
I don't know you

That day, I was on the pectoral fly/ rear delt machine
45 pounds on the rack,
Thinking I was doing great. Schwarzenneger had nothing on me.
And evidently you were just doing rear...
That’s it. I’m done. I’m done with “date nights”. Every year for the past five years, I’ve started the year declaring that this would be the year that my husband and I finally make that elusive date night happen....
Isn’t love a funny thing? Like, really. Think about it. It’s kind of an odd thing. Sometimes we immediately fall head over heels for a person, and other times we end up with the last person we thought we’d...
I've never really had many friends that were girls. Or a whole lot of friends for that matter.
As an adult woman, when my girlfriends get together, I typically decline. When my friends go on a women's retreat and invite...
