Questioning my faith.
I think every religious and spiritual person questions their faith and what they believe in. It happens. You think you believe something until a moment makes you question everything you've ever known. Sometimes it makes people do away with religion altogether, sometimes it makes people change religions, sometimes it makes others become more secure in their beliefs.
I'm starting to wonder if I was told a lie

I can honestly say I do not like my in-laws.
I've struggled for a while to write this post simply because I really don't want to put family drama on blast, at least not anymore. But sometimes, you have to call people out on their bullshit, even if they're related to you.
Long story short, my in-laws do not fully accept Bo. Not sure if they ever did or ever

Sometimes, it really doesn't matter.
I try to eat healthy. I try to cut my intake of alcohol to twice a week and even then that might be too much. I constantly walk everywhere with Bo in tow. I meditate. I pray. Mentally, I'm probably the healthiest I've been in a long while. Physically, I'm getting there.
But sometimes, it doesn't matter.
Because it can all be taken away in an

M. and I are a rare couple. He's Ukrainian, I'm Black American. There are a lot of differences between us. There is a lot of common ground between us. Obviously, it works since we've been together for seven years, five married. We survived two notable miscarriages in one year, a stressful but very uneventful pregnancy with Bear, and trying to conceive our second rainbow baby. We mesh.
We also

If you haven't heard, singer Ciara and her boyfriend, Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson have been in the news lately. Did they rob a bank? No. Did they curse out the President? No. Were they arrested? No.
So why are they in the news? Let me introduce you to Future, Ciara's ex-fiancee, and father of her son, Future (kid you not, that is the kid's horrible name).
Future (who shall

To vaccinate or nah?
That seems to be the question that many parents are facing nowadays. When I was growing up, it was a non-issue. I was vaccinated as a baby. I got the MMR vaccine as a teen and again as an adult. In fact, I received the vaccine just before I became pregnant with Bear.
Bear isn't caught up with his vaccinations yet but he did receive a

The thing about being pregnant after a loss is dealing with anxiety. You're always wondering 'what if...?' and you're never quite comfortable being pregnant, no matter how far along you are. Unless you've had a late loss, unless you've had multiple miscarriages, unless you know the pain of pregnancy loss, you can't relate. You can't sympathize, you can't empathize, you simply can't. Being an angel mom is something no

I read a recent article on slate.com, regarding how one woman plans to never post anything about her child online ever. EVER. If you've followed his blog recently, you know about my struggle to even post Yoda's picture for fear of public reaction, due to Ethan.
But never posting anything about Yoda...ever? Hmm...that seems to be a bit harsh. It also seems ridiculously unrealistic.
I should probably explain my stance before

I have a love-hate relationship with my in-laws. Come to think of it, I have a love-hate relationship with both families - mine and M's. There are a lot of things that occur with both families I have an issue with that no matter how much I voice my displeasure, it seems: 1) No one cares; or 2) People care but not nearly to the point where they actually
