{Opinion Piece} Mind Your Own Damn Business
This is an opinion vent post: How many time have you heard in the parks, or even said, "OMG, that kid is what like 8 and is in a stroller?" And then walked away judging that family. Whose damn business is it if that kid is 12 and still occasionally needs to use assistance in the parks.

From Ta Ta’s to Wombs
This is an update to my last post, Yes We Are Talking About Boobs. Yesterday, 11/26/12, I had a few appointments. I kind of skipped over some details from the OB/Gyn, I only mentioned that I scheduled another test that my dr wanted done on Monday as well, but didn't give any details as to what it was for. You see I was a little embarrassed to discuss that part with you, … [Read more...]

She refused to smile for him, and Carson just stared at him, like who are you and what … [Read more...]
