To Breastfeed or Not Breastfeed?
You will be making a great deal of decisions for your child as a mother, or more accurately a supermom, but one of the earliest and most important concepts in your child's infancy is choosing between breastfeeding or formula feeding. Your final decision should not only rest on the importance of your child's nutrition, but should also strictly follow your child's health risks. Not all babies can be breastfed, nor should all babies be breastfed.

How I Saved a Dog from an Abusive Owner
Last year in November, me and my roommate decided we wanted to get a dog as a friend for our husky and ended up looking for dogs at the local shelter. There weren't any that really matched with us and with our dog so we looked on a local website where people put up their dogs for sale.

Losing Sight
My mom wasn’t around much when I was a little girl because she was always working. She picked me up from school, dropped me off at home, and went to work until 2 AM. Because of this, I spent most of my time with my father, and we had a great time. He didn’t cook much so dinners usually consisted of frozen food that was easy to heat up and we never complained. I have very vague memories of play-wrestling with him in our living room and asking him about his collection of Tonka trucks. More prominent memories of my father revolve around one thing: his temper. Nonetheless, I was very close to my father as a child.

What is the Second Wave Feminist Movement?
It's pretty widely known that the first wave of feminism dealt with woman's suffrage—the right to vote, own property, etc. These things are more concrete and clear, so it's no wonder many people ask: what is the second wave feminist movement?

Being a Child Carer
All over the world, there are kids who have taken on the responsibility of looking after their ill parents. There are even some children looking after their siblings. Making sure they eat, bathe, and go to school. Some people think it's crazy, others understand, and some people think it shouldn't be allowed. However this isn't a post about whether it is right or wrong. This is just about my experience as a child carer and its effects.
