As I lie awake obsessing over BooBoo’s kindergarten readiness, my husband inhales deep, peaceful breaths that make me more anxious than ever.

As we ready ourselves for all the newness back-to-school brings, our kids would much rather soak up their last bits of summer than shuffle into a dressing room with mom and a pile of jeans.

In a quick and dirty poll of my girlfriends, I learned about half of them enjoyed a talking dirty in bed while the other half preferred to let their bodies do the talking. When it comes to verbal communication between the sheets, there’s a distinct difference between dirty talk and phrases that should never, ever […]

(As always, thank you […]
