My mother has a phrase that she lives by: clean as you go. I've found this advice to be especially true when it comes to maintaining a clean kitchen.

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: The struggles of motherhood: 21 of 33
Ah, motherhood. That exhausting, and often thankless, labor of love. How can something simultaneously be so frustrating and exhilarating? As a married mother of one, I know that I have it easier than mothers who are single or who have several little ones. But that doesn't mean my job is easy. My son, Jamal, is eleven months ... More..
Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing The quarter-life crisis: 2 of 3
After college comes a very strange time. You have so many expectations; so many plans on how your life is going to turn out. Then, you get that reality check that your dreams can't cash.

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Kung Fu Panda: 26 of 38
As a general rule, I go to the theater to laugh. I've always preferred comedy to drama, mostly because I don't enjoy coming out of a movie, scratching my head and wondering what I've just seen.(If you've seen a Nicholas Cage or Denzel Washington movie in recent years, I think you know what I'm talking about.) So, when I saw ... More..

Masters of Recess "Gregory!" Mark's voice cut into my daydream. I almost jumped of the bench. "You drool over her just like my dog Lester drools over his doggie treats!" my best friend huffed, waving his hand in front of my face. I blushed. (I brushed the back of my hand across my mouth quickly, in case I was actually drooli... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Intimacy Do you love your husband?: 34 of 43
I most certainly love my husband. Now, don't get me wrong. There is, at times, some broken glass on the primrose path. There are times when I look at that pile of smelly laundry by the bed, or the sink full of dishes, and I just want to choke him! But at the end of the day, I can't sleep without him next to me.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Falling in love: 72 of 80
Yes, I too have fallen in love. Thankfully, there was someone there to catch me before I reached the bottom of the chasm. I was young. Very young. Boys were playmates to me, and nothing more. That is, until I met Keith. He wore glasses, just as I did, and was almost painfully quiet. I noticed his awkwardness; it reflected my... More..
