One of the most important responsibilities we have as parents is let our children know they’re loved. It’s not necessarily a difficult challenge, as we generally have the necessary skills, but there are different ways children learned they’re loved…

Orgasms are truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. I can still recall my first one — I didn’t even know what was happening other than that the pillow I slept with between my legs suddenly felt amazing and made me shake all over. Unfortunately, due…

The black and white stills of Roma tell you, even before you know why, that the movie will be profound, a masterpiece, a monument to the lives of the poor and forgotten, probably. “Alfonso Cuarón’s Masterpiece of Memory,” Manohla Dargis called it in…

When I lost my baby I felt my heart shatter into a million little pieces. The pain was unbearable, and for a long, long time I wondered if I would ever fully heal or experience an ounce of joy again. I did, eventually, but it was a long process. And…

If we’re being honest, we must admit that it’s incredibly easy to judge parents. When I was younger I never thought I’d become a mom, and promised myself that if I did I would give up anything and everything to make it work. And since my own mother…

Choosing whether or not to have children is a pretty monumental decision. And if you do choose to become a parent, deciding when is arguably just as difficult. From combing over your finances to considering your career goals to establishing a solid…

Dear Anxious Mom, While I was raised by a stay-at-home mom, it never felt like the right choice for me. If I was going to be a mom, I figured I would be a working parent and my child would go to daycare, preschool, and so on. Those options cost a…

On July 4, 1776, a group of men signed a document that said we all have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” It’s a nice thought, but the men who wrote it were also slave owners. Still, over time this country has developed an…

It’s 2018, marriage equality is finally real, all but eight states allow LGBTQ couples to adopt, and there are laws on the books against hate crimes targeting queer folks. Turn on your TV and you’ll find lesbian characters and gay actors and…

Everyone needs to feel loved. It’s the kind of emotion and motivation we all use to get through our days and enjoy our lives. Our families may be our primary sources of love, or it might be our friends or chosen family. As mothers, we feel loved by…

The ability to trust another human being isn’t always easy, but, hopefully, we learn how to via our parents and/or guardians. And while many children, sadly, can’t say the same, most children are fortunate enough to have someone who will love, care,…

Publix. Wegmans. Krogers. Sprouts. There are so, so many grocery stores out there, and if you’re a mom odds are you’ve been to them all... and often. Each grocery store has its own strengths and weaknesses. Publix has always excelled at customer…

When I was younger I used to joke that if I ever had a baby, it would happen in my mid-30s. In my opinion, 35 was always my sweet spot for starting a family, (if I was going to change my mind and choose not to be kid-free forever). Things didn’t…

Dear Default Parent, I know you’re tired. I know that, right now, you have at least a million things on your mind. I know that most of those things have to do with someone’s schedule, what needs to be cleaned, or what needs to be purchased; all…

There are few absolutes when it comes to parenthood, but the horror that is toddler tantrums is one of them. There’s just not much us parents can do to avoid them. We can try to console our kids, try to leave them alone, try to send them to their…

Losing your baby is a devastation unlike any other. Some of us do, however, find some comfort when we’re fortunate enough to give birth to a rainbow baby. For those unfamiliar, a rainbow is the baby you have after a loss, just like the rainbow after…

It’s lying awake at night wondering if your child has suddenly turned over on his belly and can’t breathe. It’s obsessively piling on globs of hand sanitizer on anyone who comes within 10 feet of your newborn, and wanting to cry if the sanitizer…
