The Mommy Diaries: Baby's Wardrobe - Dos &Don'ts
In June of this year, my life got turned upside with the birth of my son. It was simultaneously the most exciting and most terrifying thing to ever happen. Exciting because he was finally here and I was no longer pregnant. Terrifying because I realized everything that I had heard, learned and read about babies was finally being put into practice and I didn't want to mess up.

Shaving Foam
Today is the first day of the week. They taught me in kindergarten that it's called Monday. And that it comes after Sunday, when we order pizza at night and Flo lets me watch the goals on TV. Mom told her that I like to watch the goals, so she lets me go to bed later to watch Futbol de Primera, my favorite TV show. Then there's The Fantastic League and The Power Rangers, but soccer is my favorite.

A Change of Heart
Ashbal flew through the night, reveling in the sounds of the forest. He was glad of the solitude his home provided, close enough to Lishaway that he could pick up some cattle here and there, but far enough away that he rarely conversed with the townsfolk. Humans were pitiful, all they did was scream and run away. The minute you tried to have a lovely conversation about relinquishing the town, someone began to scream. And if one person screamed, everyone screamed.

In Darkness, May You See the Light
The boy had wandered into the woods and I became afraid. The woods were dangerous and he was so small and defenseless. Without a second thought, I flew over the trees, scanning urgently for the child. When at last I found him, his head was on his knees, his arms wrapped around his legs, and his shoulders shook with sobs. So alone was the boy who sat on the dirty floor. I did not understand how he could give up. Did he really think I'd abandon him? Movement caught my attention and I looked in horror. Darkness seemed to be caving around him and I could see the fear starting to take hold. Why was he afraid? Was he afraid because he was alone? Or was he afraid of the dark?

You’ll Make Your Lady Go Wild With Desire
Let’s face it: Men are simple creatures. We usually think with our dicks and our stomachs. The fact that those two body parts are closer together than either of them and our brains says a lot.

A Worrisome Reflection at a Check Out Stand with 3 Tough Health Challenges for Families
The problem of being a teacher is carrying the banner of learning … described as process of understanding behavior, skills, attitudes and values. Almost nothing upsets me more as watching a young mother pushing a shopping cart loaded with boxes, cartons, bottles and bags of processed foods with a case of pop underneath.

Triangle of Bonds: Dad, Mom and Dad's Wife
––“Who’s your daddy?” The church lady loomed vulture-like, with bright red lipstick on smirking lips and teeth; chin hairs poked from cracks in two-shades-too-light makeup.

Bunk beds are a fantastic way to save space in a child's bedroom

How the tantrum of the century taught me the importance of neurodivergent solidarity
It was last week. I took my son (5, nonverbal autistic) to the indoor playground to play. It’s a 1.5 hour drive from where we live, and he was already tired by the time we arrived. I had everything prepared: his food and drinks were purchased, I had a back-up set of clothes in his backpack, wipes, pull-ups, and a transition plan to make leaving easier.
