The Selection

The Selection

If you really knew me, you'd know I love a good young adult novel. When I love a book, I can't put it down. This was the case with The Selection by Kiera Cass. Oh. My. Word. I loved it so much!

Natural, medicated, c-section, vaginal birth, home birth, they all have their pros and cons and it's important to discuss your medical history and preferences with your doctor.

Dear Working Mom….

Dear Working Mom….

I see you. I see you wake up when it's still dark and your house is quiet so that you can pack lunches, put on some make up, and do your hair. I see you wipe the tears out of your eyes when you drop your child off at daycare. He was extra clingy today and cried "no school!" over and over to you.
