Thumbnail image for Because of You – A Child of Divorce Speaks Out

I heard this song at work today and I remembered that when it was released, I read that Kelly Clarkson had written it about the impact that her parent’s divorce has had on her since she was six years old.  But when Breakaway, this song’s album was released, I wasn’t as in tuned with all things divorce like I am now.  Today, I [...]

Well, over this past beautiful weekend, I devoted my blogging time to some website maintenance.  I was finding that my category list was no longer specific enough and therefore not an effective way to navigate through my posts.  In the beginning, it didn’t seem like much of a problem but as my content grows it [...]

I find myself dreading and avoiding that age old, over asked question this January. “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” I usually have one.

Have you ever agreed with someone on a topic only to realize later, after closer consideration that you didn’t agree at all, and you wish wish wish you could go back in time and change your answer? Just me?  Oh. As a guest on the online radio show Coparenting Matters, one of the co-hosts Talibah [...]

Thumbnail image for The Grown Up Child’s Top 10 Considerations for Wedding Planning

Maybe I’ve just had weddings on the brain, but it seems like I’ve been reading about matrimony everywhere.  First, I read about the demise of the magazine Modern Bride.  Can you believe that?  The publication has been dropped.  Then Wednesday Martin posted a link last week to the art and story of a second wife’s [...]
