It has been almost one year exactly since I quit my full-time job at a PR firm to stay home with the little one. While on maternity leave, staying home didn’t even cross my mind once. I looked forward to the return to work and to what I thought would be normalcy. Just a few […]
Not Raising A Princess
The princess craze is something that has taken America by storm. While I’m all for Disney and imagination and fantasy, I also struggle as a mom who wants my daughter to be a realist, too.
