The world keeps piling on expectation after expectation while support systems…
Not every trend should stick around forever, and honestly, that includes some names we grew up hearing at every playground. If you’ve ever paused over a baby name list and felt a little sad—or a little relieved—that a name you once loved is fading away, you’re not alone. This is for every mom, aunt, and…
Wisdom doesn’t just come from age—it comes from experience. And when older women look back at their relationships—marriages, long-term love, or situationships—they don’t always mourn what ended… They often grieve what they ignored, tolerated, gave up, or never asked for.

But one whiff of a certain smell—suddenly, you’re eight with a juice box, or ten and sunburned, or crying in the nurse’s office because you ate a crayon. Smell is messy that way.
