I believe most people get married believing it is forever, not for ever. Introducing children to a relationship adds some additional concrete to the mix and, when all is said and done within the marriage and it is time to move on from being a couple, the presence of children continues to cement the two … Continue reading Table for 5 (or why dinner as a family can be continued despite impending divorce)

Running through the pain
image from: wholeironwoman.comThe good news is that the thing with my right glute that had been bothering me seems to have resolved itself.

MIA: Love
