So, this may be TMI, but, I’m a first time mother and I must vent about breastfeeding and the societal difficulties that come along with it.
Jack of All Trades, Master of None
I just had the wonderful pleasure of seeing the Tallest Man on Earth perform live. This is the second time that I’ve been able to see him, and he is one of the best musicians I have ever seen in a live performance. His albums are incredible, but live he has this energy and charisma that is contagious. It’s been two days since I’ve seen him and I’m still reeling on the high of his performance.

In Defense of Gray Hair
In defense of gray hair. I’m entering that “magical” phase of my life where I am starting to get a lot of gray hair. I’m in my mid-30s. I’m a mother. I’m a hard worker.
