I’m a woman with a “high” sex number and I’m okay with it
The very reason why I am hesitant in writing about the topic of my sex number is the very thing that I want to try and stop!
So, that is why I am going to share this with you because I want girls to be able to be comfortable in their own skin, regardless of their sexual choices…
Balance for working parents in emotionally demanding jobs
After a particularly difficult day at work, I snapped at my 3-year-old over something minor that totally didn’t warrant such an overreaction. As I registered the hurt in her eyes, I realized what had happened — I had given so much of my patience to my students that day, there was none left for my own child when she needed it. After a good long cry and some consolation ice cream (for both of us), I knew I needed to start being more intentional about my work/life balance if I didn’t want my psyche to implode like a dying star of stress and guilt.
These are a few of the strategies I’ve put in place to preserve my sanity and ensure that everyone in my life—myself included—gets the care they deserve.
Can you get a tattoo over a stretched postpartum stomach?
I have always wanted a tattoo, and having come to this point in my life I feel like I can choose one to go on said stomach. However, I cannot find any pictures or information on getting a tattoo on stretched, loose skin — not, like, little stretch mark, c-section scar belly. It’s like, hanging, stretched-flesh belly.
Is a tattoo over a stretched postpartum belly a thing you can do? And if it is, what kind of design would work?

I run credit reports every day: Here are the 6 most common mistakes I see
I work for a landlord and part of my job is screening tenants. That means I run credit reports every day; and decide whether or not an applicant is approved. Most of the time, when someone is rejected it is because many people don’t understand the basics of how credit reporting works.
How can I get people to stop complimenting my weight loss?
I get tired of people commenting on how great I look when I lose or telling me I look great because I’ve lost weight. Beside saying, “Please don’t comment about my weight” — which can come across brisk — are there any suggestions on more succinctly letting people know their “compliments” are triggering and annoying?

Tabletop roleplaying: How my least grown-up hobby might be the most adult
I’d never try to claim I’m not a geek, I’d go so far as to describe myself as a nerd on many topics, but I do get irritated when people suggest my hobby — tabletop roleplaying — makes me antisocial or somehow withdrawn. In fact, it’s fantastically social and imaginative!
Here’s why you should think about getting into tabletop roleplaying…
