I’ve never really understood why they call it a “birth plan” because I’ve never met a single mom whose delivery went the way she visualized it would! Sometimes you just have to laugh it off… Here’s an excerpt from my interview with...
As a little girl, I always thought life would be a series of steps to get to an end result, and there was always a right or a wrong. But as I aged, I started to discover that life gives us many different roads that lead to so many destinations. They say life is full...
Motherhood has made me a stronger woman all around. Both of my birth experiences were pretty challenging. During my first pregnancy, my husband and I lost our son Junior when I was 5 months along. That experience meant all pregnancies afterward were considered...
