Remember her smell?
Remember the inescapable force that kept your lips pressed to his peach fuzz head?
Now imagine that no matter how hard you tried, no matter how many tests, no matter how many painful injections you endured you were never able to reach the ultimate utopia of motherhood.
Imagine watching all your friends weep tears of joy as they witnessed first after first. Trying to share their elation. Trying...

Rumparooz New G2 Design: R...

Oh boy, do I ever struggle with those moments! They seem to always get me at Walmart. I have a love hate relationship with Walmart. It goes something like this…
I love that Walmart offers me more than groceries to fulfill my never-ending itch to shop. I hate that Walmart offers clothes, kitchen gadgets, household items, movies, electronics…EVERYTHING to prevent me from ever being...
