This is the question that I used to dread answering. It was a question that always made me feel less than. A question that made me wonder if I wasn't enough for her. A question that would feel like a gut punch. "Mommy, why did do I have 2 moms?" But now? Now...I...

How to Keep Your Resolutions This Year
I know, I know….you are skeptical. You have made New Years Resolutions in the past and have failed to keep them. You watch everyone start eating better and working out and you are waiting until February to go back to the gym. You are waiting for others to fail as...
