As you know, I love to share the childfree stories of women around the globe. One reason I do this is to show all childfree people that you are not alone and that everyone has a different story or reasons for being childfree. There is no right or wrong way to live your best childfree […]
I am so sick of the word selfish being synonymous with childfree people. Why am I called selfish when I am simply living a life of my choosing? Yet a parent is selfless even though they too are living a life of their choosing. The assumption is that when you become a parent you learn […]
Holidays are the best. I love getting away for work and play, experiencing new things, and seeing the world There is only one problem. Having to travel with other people’s kids.
