One of the reasons why I burst into unhappy tears when I first saw that positive pregnancy test 5 years ago was because I knew my circumstances were about to change and that my body would never be the same. I had heard all the horror stories—one of my own mother’s favorites is how by …

Yep, it’s time for another parody! This time it is based on a true story with what happens to my teenage daughter when she can’t find her phone.

To my friends who don’t have kids, I have something honest and real that I need to share with you: Sometimes it’s really hard to be your friend because I’m envious of your childfree life. When you get to sleep in on weekends and take 2-hour naps during the day, I envy you. When you …
