it seems like it would be much better for everyone if we could all learn to ignore the things we don’t agree with. it’s so hard with social media. there are definitely Jez commenters who have said things I don’t particularly like, but overall the commenters here are intelligent, leveled and reasonable. And there’s…

Oh certainly. I started posting on here while in Dubai. It’s just, that as an educator I get my summers off to come home and post without the ten hour time difference or burden of working. I realize how blessed I am to have these 7 week holidays...but it’s always a shock to the system to go back. But I will get over…

Awww man, I’ve been waiting on the Turks and Caicos for yeeeaaarrrs! It has to happen someday, right?

Skin to skin contact is beneficial for infants because it promotes bonding. I promise that it will not give you a boner.

I have zero desire to be a mother but oh I wanna squish that cutie pie baby.

YouTube is his new best friend according to a pal who taught herself how to do everything from puff balls to cornrows for her youngun.
