mom mean thinking
I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.
thinking people wow
I think people were expecting me to be that kind of glamorous sexpot. So they were always, Wow you're not what I expected.
mom sex thinking
These days we don’t have to fit into something other people think we are. We’ve leveled the playing field, life is inclusive. I’m a mom, sex detective, wife, fearless, gentle — we can now, with grace, be all of what we are.
real thinking joy
I get very excited about my double stroller. Every time I look at it, I get a shot of adrenaline and joy because I think, This is real!
