Well. It happened. My sweet little baby girl’s body has crossed the threshold into womanhood. She got the signs of her first cycle on November 18th. At first, she didn’t tell me anything about it. She said she thought it was some weirdness that would pass and she washed out her panties and tried to … Read More
I would have hoped that at this point in life, I would have eased up on this algebra. My birthday is in a few weeks. Luckily, thanks to my Sands Ronnie, I’m taking a week to head out to Vegas and just… be. And I’m looking forward to it. A gift to myself. A gift … Read More
I caught myself grinning today. Just because. Not that big of a deal, right? But it was something that was so impossible for me to fathom doing just 5 months ago.

I was holding it together for the last… 48 hours and the thought crossed my mind… Does anyone get saved? Will anyone … Read More
