Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My experience of hysterectomy

1 of 4

Pain was re-defined for me over the last year and a half. I have had knee surgery, large kidney stones, and osteo arthritis; nothing compared to my uterine issues. I have a whole new understanding of pain after my 18 months of debilitating cramping, excessive bleeding, and total exhaustion. Add to that my 4 young children and... More..

Style & Beauty > Body Image Teenagers and body image issues

10 of 31

Often times the negative body image that teenagers have developed actually began as pre-teens. You know the stage of awkwardness between 9 and 13 years. The one that makes the shoulders look like they are sitting on the hips and the hips appear to be light years from your ankles since one's legs have grown abnormally long. Th... More..

Relationships & Family > Family Life Raising your children in spite of what your family thinks

1 of 3

Growing up in my family I learned that one should only have two children. After all that is the "economically sensible" number to have. Imagine the reaction when I had my third and fourth babies. With my first baby I was given all the conventional advise by everybody. You know, eat healthy, morning sickness passes with ginger... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Dealing with social pressures about breast- and bottle-feeding babies

Not all of us that have children are meant to be human cows. The old myth that your body will always produce enough milk to feed your babies demand just isn't true for some of us. Look through history and you will find women that could not breastfeed, and as a result their babies died. Weather your baby rejects the breast, yo... More..

When I was 14, I went on spring break with my aunt and uncle to Widbey Island outside of Seattle, Washington. I spent the entire trip searching for something to commemorate the trip.

Everyday, we as mom's, have errands to run. That means that no matter the age of our children we are dragging our feet in and out of stores, post offices, schools, doctor's offices and pharmacies. Some of us make it in and out of the store without any distress about 65% of the time, and some of us have to field kicking and sc... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My son tried shoplifting

1 of 2

I have four children. They are wonderful, but you never quite know what to expect when taking them into public. On one occasion I had a very stressful trip to Target. My kids were pointing and asking for things the whole time. I had told them in the car if it wasn't on the list we were not buying it. This trip was a testament... More..
