Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

Why Buying a Nursing Bra Wasn’t a Total Mistake

  Why buying a nursing bra is okay. Sometime last year I was in Target shopping for the ever-so-gracious bra that I seemed to either never fill out, or never fit in. There was always something wrong with them. For example, why is the wire sticking out of the bottom?  Why is there even a wire in my bra? Who makes these? Did this person have big boobs?  I bet this person had no boobs at all. Do... Read More »

What It’s Really Like to Have an Identical Twin – and Finding out at Age 33!

Ok yes, I knew I was a twin my whole life, but for the first 33 years, we were told we were fraternal.   First question EVERYBODY asks when I mention that I have a twin sister is – Are you identical or fraternal? My response was always that we are fraternal, but look VERY similar!

My Skin Won’t Stop Me

My Skin Won’t Stop Me

  My acne is only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because… I know that I am beautiful, with or without pimples on my face.

I’ve cried in the mirror more times than I can count, but I’v... Read More »
