Motherhood - People

I'm a full time student and mother of a wonderfully willful, brilliant, and inquisitive four year old who is the light of my life, apple of my eye, joy of my darkness, and my all. I'm a native Texan. That means I was born and raised here and will die here too! That's not to say I am not going to travel; to the contrary, I LOVE traveling! Especially taking long road trips, driving at night,...

I am a 20-something infertility survivor and new mom to my son, Nathaniel, born in July 2008. After 2.5 years of heartbreak, including 2 miscarriages, countless RE appointments and Clomid, I am extremely grateful for my little miracle. My blog - Sticky Bean - chronicles my IF struggle and my transition to motherhood.

As celebrity-driven cultural images of pregnancy are dictating how women should look and feel during pregnancy, The Baby Bump Project, founded by Dr. Meredith Nash seeks to reveal how everyday women struggle with the pressures be pregnant and perfect. Far removed from the glossy image of the baby bump as a fashionable appendage, this blog sheds light on the glaring gap between the fantasy world...

I'm living my dream. I have a soft spot for Sapphire martinis. I Google everything. I have Ab Fab girlfriends. I constantly have 5 projects in the works. I bake. I blog. I'm a Reality TV slut. (It's all TiVo's fault.) I can't say no to the beach. I have a love/hate relationship with Diet Coke. I love being at home. I'm hot for Teacher. A big piece of my heart is in Chicago. I don't like coffee,...

A friend awaiting adoption asked me what motherhood is really like. I thought for a moment then said, "It's looking at a face so streaked with dirt, sweat, snot, glue, jelly, dust, pudding, or chalk that anyone in their right mind would turn away, and finding it so incredibly beautiful that you can't help but kiss it." Thanks to adoption, I have two beautiful faces to kiss. And I...

I blog to keep sane. I am amazed how funny my misadventures and fail attempts of reaching super mommy status are. In the moment…not very funny, but when I am sitting down typing on the keyboard with a nice chilled glass of wine next to me. I can’t help but giggle! I started my blog http://ceoofdomesticaffairs.blogspot.com/ about 7 months ago. One of my friends had one and I thought...

Being a mommy is hard. It is hard work. Itâ??s probably the most difficult and most rewarding job I have ever done in my entire life. I became a mom 8 months ago to Cruz, my beautiful baby boy. He is my first child and the experience of being a mom has far exceeded my expectations- in good ways and some not so good too! I am a full time working/stay-at-home mom. My husband and I own our own...

I'm neither a psychic nor a sage. I am a woman who, through hard won experience and sincere striving, has learned from life and wants to provide some answers to your deeply held questions. From a young age, I sought the deeper meaning of life. And my life did not disappoint. I learned about the nature of addiction, anger, building a business, bosses & bullies, childbirth, career &...

Three months after my first child was born, I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease. Although sarcoidosis spontaneously remits in many cases, I developed a chronic form of the disease in multiple organs-- my brain, heart, lungs, liver, cranial nerves, lymph nodes, and bones. Becoming chronically ill at the same time that I am learning the ropes of motherhood has been like...
