What Do Mother’s Day Gifts Mean?

April 28, 2013

My husband and I were discussing gifts as my 35th birthday falls the month after Mother's Day. And my husband the very unromantic guy that he is was being very frustrating about why a person should not expect a gift on these occasions. Even when I reminded him that I not only raise his children and he would not have those girls if it were not for my eggs - but I grew them inside of me for 9 months (they were born at 36 weeks) and then had them gutted out of me like a fish (I had c sections) and then Read more [...]

I bought a few products from Michi and not only did I feel sexy and confident wearing them - they were extremely comfortable. And yes that bra is a sports bra and very supportive and one day at the beach I even Read more [...]

  It's funny because I get asked this question all of the time. And the answer is no. But I always thought I would want three. Then I had the first two and lets just say I am not a good pregnant person. Diabetes makes me especially high risk and before having Ava (my second) my doctor wanted to tie my tubes and "sterilize me" it sounded so final. In retrospect I should have let him I now have an IUD. But I must have been emotional or shocked but that felt so very permanent as though something Read more [...]

Ila's obsessed with the movie Tangled and she want's long hair like Rapunzel. so I saw her walking around with a piece of ribbon held by velcro to her hair. And my first instinct was to say that I need to buy Ila a wig so she can be Rapunzel and then I stopped myself.
