As some of you know, I share a bathroom with Barb Marley (my 8-year-old daughter). We live in an older home, so the master bathroom is a hell of a lot smaller than the hall bathroom (which is a dual sink bathroom), so when we originally moved in, Barb and I decided to share a […]

I love that you’re like me, but I’m scared that you’re just like me.  I see your impulsiveness, just as I recognize my own. I love that when you have an idea, you must dive in, however, I worry that when you have an idea, you dive in without hypothesizing or with a plan in place. […]

It was Spring 2003, my freshman year of college; I was 18 years old and had just started my COM316 course: Gender in Communication. The first day of class went as any normal first lecture; the professor went over the syllabus and instructed us students what book to buy, what chapter to read first, and […]

Ms. Bresch, I saw a photo of you on Fox News Insider’s page where it appeared you were sitting in your office. Directly behind you hung your bulletin board, where I saw photos of, what I’d suspect to be your children. The background of my office is quite like yours, with a bulletin board adorned with photos […]

One of the biggest fears a woman faces when speaking out about domestic violence is that no one will believe her. As women, we empower one another, we remind each other that we have one another’s backs and that an abusive relationship of any form is NEVER okay. We support our friends when they are […]

Respecting My Child’s Boundaries: When my daughter was a toddler, she was fond of giving big, sloppy kisses on your mouth- or your ear, cheek, foot… Really, the kid was a smooching machine and I loved every minute of it. I loved her tiny lips pressed against mine as she demanded: “One more kiss, Mumma! Mummmaaa! […]

You know, I really hate to say that the world still surprises me; however, being an avid Internet user, I’m sadly proven wrong … almost daily. I recently came across this New York Times article: “Along With Babies, Hairstyles Are Arriving In Hospitals.” Naturally, in my inquisitive way, I clicked over to read. What met my […]
