May 4, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

My 16-year-old niece mentioned to me the other day that she is thinking about taking a summer job.

We discussed the pros and cons and when she mentioned that the job … [Read more...]

April 17, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

It’s hard to look good when you’re feeling down. There were days I cried so much that I thought I’d forgotten how to smile.

Book Review: “Find Me” By Laura Van Den Berg

April 13, 2015 by Christine Stock 2 Comments

When I was in my twenties, I had a roommate who told me that I was a magnet for weirdness. “Stuff happens to you that doesn’t happen to other people,” he said. I don’t know if that claim is exactly true, but I have experienced my share of unusual situations. For example: I’ve ripped a muscle in my … [Read more...]

Book Review: “The Wednesday Group” By Sylvia True

April 2, 2015 by Christine Stock 2 Comments

My 10-year-old daughter has recently become obsessed with the idea of getting her own cell phone. I’m not entirely sure where the desire is coming from, but I suspect that it’s partially a result of craving an independence that I’m not quite ready to grant. She makes a good argument for having a … [Read more...]

Book Review: “Monday’s Lie” By Jamie Mason

March 23, 2015 by Christine Stock Leave a Comment

I can say (with a fair amount of certainty) that most women I know want to be a perfect mom. Let me clarify what I mean by “perfect.” I’m not talking about the type of mom who wears a permanent smile, keeps an immaculate house and has a full cookie jar at all times. As if. The kind of “perfect … [Read more...]
