My Weight loss Story I knew I was overweight, but my husband told so much how beautiful I was and how he loved me the way I was.

Two posts in one morning, wow. Not so DH and I separated two months ago and while we've tried to keep things as stable as possible for the kids, behavioural issues are cropping up. I've been told that this is fairly normal, but that doesn't mean it's easy to deal with and I need some practical...

My father is a severe alcoholic, and consequently I've had almost no contact with him for many years. (My parents have long since divorced.) I don't intend for my kids ever to see him, because I couldn't be sure of their physical or emotional safety if they did. DH and I are both in agreement on...

I've been really bad with baby clothes--they're just too darned cute.
