Pregnancy

As our youngest baby turned 2 years old, the conversation with my husband seemed to open up about wanting another baby. Was the timing right? Was it the right fit for our family? I thought about all of these things...

My husband has uncanny timing when it comes to knocking me up. This is the third time I've been pregnant and the third time he's oh-so conveniently had a long stint away from home due to work. I can't...

I recently had the opportunity to attend one of the Super Dentists' Mommy and Me series events in Kearny Mesa. Before I get to all the info I learned during the session, I have to say The Super Dentists...

My husband and I rent a 1,000 square foot 2 bedroom apartment in University Heights. When we planned on starting a family we decided to embrace Tim Gunn’s “Make it work!” mantra when it came to our living space,...
