Child Gun Safety, Kentucky, and Tragedy
Everyone has their own opinions on gun safety. Some think that gun safety is only doable by eliminating guns. Some think that gun safety means shoot the other guy first. I'm pretty sure the majority of us lean towards "increased background checks" as a reasonable alternat...

Happy First Birthday, Eudora!
One year ago today, I started the morning out just sure that it was the day. I spent some time in bed timing my contractions. They stayed pretty consistent. The husband called our doula. I ate strawberries for breakfast and then threw them back up. In the end, I spent a...
