When I first read My Post Baby Body is Ruining My Marriage on Babble yesterday, I was all "YEAH GIRL, I HEAR YOU." But then I was, like, NO. I have done some thinking since 36 hours ago and have come to some conclusions. My ideal body is 30 pounds lighter and six inches taller and has … [Read more...]
first swim of summer
If your summers have followed a familiar pattern, first swim, in the lake you have known forever, will wash over you with all the memories of all the summers you can remember. You are the little girl who swam endlessly until skin shrivelled, the pregnant woman cooling off feeling at … [Read more...]
words for wednesday- leaning against the wrong wall
For all of us who may have pursued the wrong person, the wrong career, the wrong promotion, the wrong lifestyle, the wrong degree, the wrong idea of happiness, the wrong marriage- this really spoke to me. "We get to the top of the ladder and realize it is leaning against the wrong wall" And … [Read more...]
Fourteen
Fourteen years ago vows were spoken. Fourteen years ago rings were exchanged. Fourteen years ago we were just a couple of kids trying to figure out how to be adults. We've gone from this: to this: Yesterday we drove the familiar drive down to Sick Kids for Eva's laser treatment. On … [Read more...]

Marriage is hard. Rather, marriage is hard when life gets in the way of it. When Steve and I were in Hawaii, just the two of us (for the first time in eight years) we were so happy, so blissful, so in love.

Aloha!
My husband and I are in Hawaii right now, on the beautiful island of Maui, letting the sun seep into our winter-weary pores. The last time we took a trip, just the two of us, was eight years ago. Three kids ago. Feels like a lifetime. We are sleeping as long as we feel like, eating … [Read more...]
Will my Marriage Thrive, Survive or Die?
The truth is, I don't know. The story of our relationship isn't written yet. I suspect it has about as good a chance as any marriage. Couples break up because of basic personality conflicts, stress over money, work or kids, cheating, or simply falling out of love. Having an open marriage is no more … [Read more...]
Simultaneous Love
When we were swinging, there was never any emotional connection. It was just sex, and there was no opportunity for it to become more. We did things together, never separate. With polyamory, it's a completely different thing. Now there's the emotional connection. People ask me, how can I share his … [Read more...]
