Post-Divorce: Do You Need A Therapist?

February 27, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

People don’t like to talk about needing a therapist. Often there is a stigma attached, but I’m honestly not sure where I’d be today if it weren’t for my therapist, Andrea Share. The countless hours I spent chatting with Andrea was one of the best things I did for myself when I separated. Some … [Read more...]

Study Finds Teens Are Less Reliant On Social Networks

January 6, 2015 by Marianne Litman Leave a Comment

Social networks, the term has come to mean more than one thing in our society. And this particular study can really throw you for a loop if you focus on what most of us now think of when we say social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, any social media channel really. But this study, … [Read more...]

Some Days Are Tougher Than Others

December 12, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

Sometimes it's hard to do this by myself. Sometimes, most of the time, I can't imagine doing this parenting thing with another person. Relinquishing control would be too hard on me. Sometimes I'm grateful to not have a relationship on top of the mother to son one. But on days like today, when … [Read more...]

Living Your Dash

September 4, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

Tonight I googled 'sad for no reason' because I have been just that for a few weeks now. What I found was a website with two people performing a random modern dance in white shirts and their gitch. It made me smile. Smiling is good. I miss it. I know I go through these slumps, as you know I do if … [Read more...]

RIP Robin Williams

August 12, 2014 by Sara 3 Comments

I generally write my blog posts in my head, as I'm biking home or stuck in traffic in my car. Tonight, I was writing about Will's new obsession with movies. How much I love it. Like it makes me happy in a way that I find hard to explain. I was planning in my head the movies that I want to rent to … [Read more...]

Alone v Lonely

April 21, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

The tans are starting to fade and the memories of swim up bars and mimosas for breakfast are fading into swim classes and work schedules.  We're leaving Jamaica behind us but taking the learnings from it. The big learning for me? I'm a bit lonely. More than a bit. And not just for a steady … [Read more...]

The Mo Bros!

Last year hubby participated in the Movember challenge at his office. It was fun to see, and support, his passion for the cause. In case you're not sure what it is, Movember is the month-long facial hair growing campaign to raise funds and awareness for mens health related issues. On avereage, … [Read more...]

Anxious? There’s a Website For That.

October 29, 2013 by Emily 4 Comments

The best thing about pregnancy is that eventually it ends and you resolve to never, ever let a boy touch you again. The worst thing, aside from the weird new body hair and the crying, is the worrying. Every time I'd open up "What to Expect When You're Expecting" the book would automatically flip … [Read more...]

Something to Give Up

September 30, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

Sometimes you just need a chill weekend and I think this is the first weekend since LJ was born that we actually did just that - chilled. It was a productive weekend, but it felt really relaxing and I loved the time our little fam spent together. Tonight I came across a blog post on The Baby … [Read more...]
