Post-Divorce: Do You Need A Therapist?
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.

Anxious? There’s a Website For That.
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
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.
