by Tara Pringle Jefferson I do NOT, I repeat, do NOT want to be a frumpy mom. I just…won’t. Tiya’s post about “Can a Mommy Wear That?” got me thinking about how much I’ve changed my wardrobe since becoming a mom.

I just shake my head…he’s pinching a friggin’ inch, but I’m folding a roll! I’m not trying to feel sorry for his little bit of weight gain. Actually, it’s [...]

Thumbnail image for Do Married Folks Think They’re Better Than Single People?

by Tara Pringle Jefferson In the comments of one out of every three articles I write, I get someone alleging that married people take things too seriously and that “y’all think y’all are better than single folks.” I could see why single people think married people are too snotty for their own good.
