The Mistress’s Daughter by AM Homes

I Couldn’t Make This Up - A Response

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH BEING PREGNANT AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO BE OBSESSED WITH ANYTHING. Agreed.
I have friend’s who lost EVERYTHING because SHE wanted to be pregnant so bad….a homeless shelter is no place to raise a child and that’s almost where they were. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, […]

Sticks and Stones - I Couldn’t Make This Up

I debated for a while about whether or not to accept this comment on my blog or to let it linger in the “in moderation” queue. I talked about it with Michael and his first thought was, “hey, it’s just like yours and Ang’s Sticks and Stones videos only you didn’t make it up!”

“The” Tyra Show Aired Friday

As you know, I wasn’t planning on watching, “Motherhood at Any Cost,” aka “Infertility According to the Tyra Banks Show,” which aired on Friday. (You might recall my rant about this a few weeks ago.) But I do admit I was curious to hear how it all went down.
