Go with the flow boys!

August 21, 2013 Ms. C2 Comments

Cheyenne has little patience for moodiness in anyone other than herself. Early on in our trip to Canada she felt obliged to share with me that when men in the family were moody they were "manstrating" or perhaps going through "manopause". I must tell you, I did laugh out loud at that. I couldn't help [...]

Fundamentally Female!

A diet for virgins?

August 6, 2013 Ms. C2 Comments

I am a big fan of Prevention magazine. It is like the health version of Reader's Digest. I like bite-sized reading as it fits well with my multitasking life and my typical attention span.

I purchased it because I love the smell of coconut and I thought that the enjoyment of the fragrance would prompt me to moisturize more frequently. The lotion is great - thick, creamy, and [...]

Pity the Childless Couple…

June 16, 2013 Ms. C2 Comments

Years ago I caught in Ann Lander's column a piece called Pity the Childless Couple. The original piece was penned by Rosalyn South in 1957 for a magazine called The American Mercury (thank you Barbara Mikkelson of Snopes for the info). The original had some revisions made to it by the time I read it [...]
