Ahh, the holidays. The time of the year when we all pay a fortune to spend time with people we don’t like that much….our families. Between shared bedrooms, bathroom lines and the sugar high crashes, it is practically impossible to escape the holidays with your sanity intact.

  My husband and I are arguing at the moment. One of us wants to have a third kid. The other one does not.  At lunch today my friend asks why we didn’t have this conversation before we got married. The problem is that we did. We sat down like two adults with absolutely no effing […]
