There’s a quote I read while pregnant with Adam that continues to mean a great deal to me because it so beautifully captures the inner conflict of being a parent.
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ~Elizabeth Stone

In the mail yesterday amongst all the weekly ad circulars, I spied a new catalog I hadn’t noticed before - “Living XL”.
As I’ve mentioned before, Dick and I are not exactly “nomal” sized people. With Dick at 6′ 6″ and me at 6′ we’ve been living XL for quite a while now. But later, as [...]
I am a huge fan of the book I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids: Reinventing Modern Motherhood and I’m thrilled to see that the authors have released a new book called Dirty Little Secrets from Otherwise Perfect Moms.

Raw Drip is one woman's raw, wry, fresh, and cheeky take on parenting, relationships, life, and other important stuff. I started writing Raw Drip because my friends are scattered all over the place and as a working mother with two toddlers I have no time to talk to them on the phone, meet them for a cup of coffee - or bathe regularly. Instead, I sit my stinky solo self down at my computer and write about all the things I used to talk with them about - and then I share it all with you - my fan base, my readership, my loyal drips.
Some of you have asked about the site name, Raw Drip, what does it mean? The name was inspired by the freshly perked cup of coffee I was drinking when I decided to start writing. I guess people see the word "raw" and just assume that the name has something to do with porn. It doesn't. I also don't write about: raw meat storage, raw food dieting, photos of people in the raw, or an obscure Japanese band named Raw Drip.
So dudes, if you've inadvertently stumbled upon my site while surfing for porn, my apologies. Unfortunately for you, you've landed in a place that's all chick-chat, with occasional penis references thrown in just for fun. At Raw Drip, the truth is harsh. But if you're man enough to handle it, keep reading. If not, move it along...
There. Are we all clear now? No porn here.
Happy Reading!
