Mommy Diaries: Divorce, Possibilities, and Lessons
I came across a post that asks the same question that I – a feminist – asked for a while. Why aren’t marriages lasting like our grandparents generation – what changed? A very smart person from America replied: This is answered weekly and no one is listening. You might also ask, “Why didn’t women have […]
Mommy Diaries: Familiarity and Illnesses
I always saw my parents stressing when I’d fall sick. That didn’t stop me from getting flu, getting into accidents, playing in vehicle impoundment yards, construction sites, electric generator rooms, and the list goes on.

Mommy Diaries: #Totensalamander #ElizabethII
