You don’t say?!

In my daily rundown of news articles, I came across a particularly interesting one today on MSNBC.com. While the majority of childfree folks already realize that not having kids eliminates a huge stress that is added to a relationship and see it as an added perk, this is news to many others. And [...]

Picking up the slack…

Sorry I’ve been away for a while.  I’ve been crazy busy at work.  I’m actually going to be taking over for a woman that’s going on maternity leave (I know, the irony…).  I was frustrated since that meant that I had to handle and learn all of her accounts as well as deal with an [...]

Oh happy day!

Good news! My husband and I just closed on our dream house (and got a fantastic rate). Even better news? It’s not in a family friendly area. In fact, the people who we bought the house from are childfree as well. When we arrived at the office [...]

Childfreedom

I know it had been a while before I had posted my previous post.  I apologize for that.  I’ve had a few 60 hour work weeks and life has been plenty hectic.  However, I missed it here.  It is my little realm of sanity among the world of crazy breeders. 
It simply amazes me [...]

TMC du Jour

I haven’t perused the TMC website in a good long while. However, today I got the urge to see what kind of mothering trainwrecks were going on in the world. To my fellow Childfree, if you had even the slightest ounce of doubt in your mind (you’re only human, I’ll forgive you this [...]

Childfree House vs. Child-proofed House

The great thing about not having kids (well…one of the MANY great things) is that my house is in much better order than any child-proofed suburbanite home.  Hearing about some of the horrors that children can do to a home makes me breathe a sigh of relief to know that I won’t ever have to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
