This Marriage Thing Isn’t Easy
I think we need counseling.” That was all I could think to say. DJ and I had gone back and forth for almost an hour, arguing about our differences in opinion on the one thing we tend to disagree about most—parenting. Since the birth of our first child, this has been a place that we’ve […]

You may or may not remember the post I wrote a while back about my itch to have another baby (“Time For Another Baby???”). At that time, I was mosquito-bite itchy and my husband was not—in any way, shape, or form 😜. Well, fast forward a few months, and we both started to realize that […]
