I recently read an article about how women, in particular, moms, bear the brunt of the "emotional labor" (I've also heard it referred to as "mental load") in our families. The basic premise is that, even when it appears...
Last year my husband and I had a unique opportunity to go on the vacation of a lifetime. We had two free roundtrip airfare to anywhere in the world! We had all the googly eyes. We were scouring the...
