Lifestyle
For the lives that we love, and everything that comes with it.
Life, the Universe, My Mother, and Everything—"Sugar in the Fridge"
Mothers. We all have one, love them or hate them, and they are a huge influence in our lives. My mother was no different. She was a Southampton lass, fearless, confident, funny... it's easy to see why Dad fell in love with her! She was also incredibly intelligent. She worked as a programmer for an insurance company and (aside from accidentally crashing the national systems a couple of times due to a coding error that wasn't her fault) was known for doing good work.

Stealthing
It’s the end of the night and you’re date is going well. You head back to your place to see what might happen. After some drinks the evening heads to the bedroom. You agree to have sex with a condom as you don’t want to catch anything or become pregnant. Unknowingly to you, at sometime during sex the condom had been removed.

Life With PTSD
So the two beautiful children you see in this picture are mine. My son is four this Valentine's Day. His name is Bolton Alan. He is an absolute star. And the sleepy little lady you see is my daughter, Missy-rose. She is two in February. And my, it has been a long two years.

Having Children and Pregnancy Shaming
*** This is about having children, a very serious topic, and I don't want to leave anyone or any group out of this. Please know that I'm not trying to leave anyone or group out, I just don't have the capability of making this article less controversial by adding gay parents, lesbian parents, or any other type of relationship or religion. This would be extremely long if I did. No matter who you are or what type of relationship you're in, having children is a HUGE life decision. Please don't hate me for not adding all the relationships in here. You are included!***

Mommy Unedited
Parenting. The one thing that everyone is an expert on, until they have actually had to become one. I will be the first to admit, I was that person in the store looking at the toddler throwing a tantrum, thinking to myself, "Nope, not my kid," before I actually had a kid. I thought I knew all the solutions to problems I didn't think I would even have. I had it ALL figured out the moment I pissed on a stick and saw the double lines. Or so I thought.

My Mother the Fortune Teller
Look at her. Pay close attention, because every day there’s more to see. She shuffles her cards, and is one of not many I know who can smoke a cigarette without using her hands. The rooms to the ceiling fill with smoke, and three of four part-time roommates that stay here are losing patience.
