Mothers...
I'm having a hard time with some body issue images of myself. I had stretch marks before getting pregnant with my son, and they became even more extreme when I was pregnant with him. The stretch marks do not bother me as much as this double hump, if you will, that protrudes out above my belly button, mid-torso. I can see…

Is it over?
I have been with my husband for 12 1/2 years now. We met when were in high school and married a few years ago. We now have a 19 month old. I don't feel like he loves me anymore or even cares about me. We have heated fights on regular basis and I don't want to fight in front of my son. Our fights revolve around the same…

What are some yummy butternut squash recipes? I made a chili with it last night that was pretty delicious, but have a lot of the squash left over.
