Same-sex couples in Washington D.C. are now legally allowed to marry. For people around the world that support same-sex marriage, this day is a joyous day.
I, for one, am thrilled.
However, this day is also a bittersweet day. There are millions of people who are still not legally allowed to marry. Whether or not they even [...]

The Dude and I love to play games with one another.
Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, Spit, Poker, Rummi-Q, DJ Hero, and Guitar Hero….once our little guy is the down for the night, we let the games begin.
Once the Monkey came into our lives, the Dude and I needed to find fun activities that we could do at [...]
It’s pretty common for those who work a 9-5 job to get some kind of annual year-end review.

From the early 1990’s, I called myself a Cashew. While I didn’t make up the slang term (or at least I don’t think I did), it’s been around [...]

When I got married a little over four years ago, I did something that I never thought I would do.
I took my husband’s last name.
The Dude never asked me to take his name, nor did he assume I would. After we got engaged, I had a full year to think about whether or not I [...]
As a woman, I often think about the time before my birth and what my female ancestors had to endure.
For centuries, women have had to fight to establish equality in a very paternalistic society. Women had to band together to form the Suffrage Movement. Women fought for equality during the Civil Rights Movement and created [...]
