Title: A Secret Wish Author: Barbara Freethy   http://www.barbarafreethy.com/ Description: Three women, three birthdays and one unforgettable night that will change their lives forever. One night in San Francisco, three women make a birthday wish believing it can't possibly come true.  Three women, three birthdays and a night of events that connects them in unexpected ways ... I absolutely loved this book!!  As a woman who just turned the big 3-0, I really connected to all main characters, who are all turning a milestone birthday on the same day.   Liz is turning thirty. She is a nurse but is lacking in the love department.  She is not a risk taker and because of that keeps settling for jerky, "safe" boyfriends.  Will she ever have that crazy, amazing love? Angela is turning 35 and wants a baby.  But after failed attempts at in-vetro, will she have to give up her dream of being a mom? Carole is turning 40 and realizes that even though...

  It seems like the last month or so, all I "hear" about online is "Mommy" Wars. * Breastfeeders VS. Bottle Feeders.   *SAHM VS Working Moms.  *"Veteran" Moms VS New Moms.  *Cloth Diapering VS Disposables.  *Moms VS Women who choose to not Procreate.  When did parenting become a sport?  It has even  boiled over into Women VS Women.  Can't we all just get along?  Why do we as women feel the need to not only belittle each other but see it as socially acceptable? I was reading The Bloggess the other day and saw that she had been on CNN, to talk about the Hillary Rosen/Ann Romney dispute.  Which I actually think it is kind of funny.  If you haven't heard {cause who has time to watch the news when you have kids?} Mitt Romney has been saying "well my wife thinks this is economically important to woman or my wife says this about the economy..."  To which Hilary Rosen said "What does Ann Romney know about the economy? She ...

I have successfully potty trained 4 kids.  WHY does #5 have to be the deal breaker? I have tried all the usual tricks and nothing is working.  He wants to wear underwear but then pees (mostly poops) in them.  We have tried:  ~buying his favorite character underwear ~sticker chart ~ Sitting on the potty every 15 minutes. {he will climb off and walk out of the bathroom to poop in his underwear} ~M&M's each time he at least tries (1), more for pee (3), even more for poop (5). ~getting a toy and he can't open it til he is accident free for 1 week Did I miss anything??  Last week he was accident free  {day/night, nap time and going out} for 3 days and then poop in his underwear twice in 1 day.  Everyday for 3 days.  Finally I put him back in diapers.  He was mad and threw a fit but I can't deal with anymore poopy underwear.  I guess when he is really ready he will just do it right?  No one has ever had a first grader weari...
