This is probably not the Mother’s Day post many of you were expecting from me, a woman who could have her first baby at any moment. But this is the Mother’s Day post that will accurately reflect my experience, and that of many, many others out there. This post is dedicated to those out there…
Today is my little blog’s third anniversary! Thank you so much to all the loyal readers and fans of The Siren for supporting this endeavor of love! In truth, I’m amazed that The Siren has gone on so long and has had the success it has. I appreciate and thank all the people behind the…
I know I’m pretty late in writing about this, but I was busy haggling over chickens with my OBGYN. You have no idea how many chickens it takes to pay for child birth! (approx 2166, but who’s counting?) So here it is, the Sue Lowden, chickengate, Chicken Sue, Lowdencare post … So just in case…
