In the Pink

So, this isn’t directly childfree related, but more of a feminist related post. A few months ago, I stumble upon this magazine called Pink, touting being a business and career magazine published exclusively for women. I was intrigued and signed up to be sent a free trial issue. My career is definitely [...]

Childfree Role Models

The majority of people growing up are taught that when they become adults, they get a job, get married, and have kids. That’s just the “natural cycle of things,” and is what’s encouraged and considered the norm. There are some people that might never be around childfree people, but as statistics show, the [...]

I’m Not Kidding makeover

Well, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, we’ve had a few changes occur around here. I, personally, think it’s for the better. Things are laid out a little bit better and after a few days of hard work, I’ve managed to give it a more custom look that it deserves. Sure, I’ll still [...]

Workplace Ruckus

I think I mentioned before that I work at a rather large, fast-paced advertising agency. There are not usually that many dull moments, and the majority of my time consists of planning media, meeting deadlines, keeping clients happy, etc. I’ve been under an unusual amount of stress the past couple of weeks due [...]

For you fence-sitters…

There has been some buzz going around about a website called Shape of a Mother (WARNING: some nudity, probably not safe for work). This site allows women who are pregnant or recently had a child (or children) to post pictures of themselves. While I think it’s great that women can feel good about [...]

Monday Musings

It’s Monday and I’ve got a serious case of the Monday Blahs… It is exceptionally bad today since I had a three day weekend and was out of town all weekend. Who wants to go back to work after all that? So, instead of having one big, blogging rant, I’m going to [...]

Poor Childfree…

This is old, but it’s still good for a chuckle… Enjoy!

I’m just fine, thank you.

Whew! It’s been an absolutely crazy week at work, but I finally have some time where I’m not working late or too exhausted to blog. So, blog I shall.
Have you ever noticed how when someone first learns of your childfree status (and every intention of keeping it that way) they automatically think something [...]

Children should not be seen OR heard…

Today, I was at the mall shopping during my lunch break (it’s basically right across the street from the office, so why not?). While I was thumbing through some shirts on the sale rack in one store, a mom and her two kids walked in. One child was an infant in a stroller [...]

Million Dollar Baby

Everyone knows that raising children is expensive. However, does anyone know just HOW expensive? In this article by the Wall Street Journal, the average is $279,450 PER child. In some cases, that’s a bit on the low end. Throw in private school, extravagant toddler birthday parties (that the kids won’t [...]
