KEEPING HUMOR WHILE WAITING TO HATCH: VIDEOS!
While it’s a warm fuzzy feeling connecting with your little tenant for 9 months, it can get infinitely boring staring off into space while you’re bed-bound.

In The Pink
At 17, I had my life all planned out. Work hard, party harder, and retire to a little cottage on the beach. I’ll be everyone’s favorite grand-aunt; the eccentric old lady who cooks with her own herbs, the one with all the stories, and drinking wine like it was water. …Read the Rest
