I was a tomboy as a child! I wanted my daughter to be a scrapper and not so dainty.

I have learned that I have to slow down and appreciate that my daughter still needs me, still wants me to help her negotiate everything in her life.

My daughter was a beautiful child.

I eliminated coffee and fish from my diet. The pesticides in coffee and fish, as well as the mercury in the latter, are considered possible contributors to birth defects in fetal tissue.

Motherhood is nitty and gritty and brutal and wonderful, but everything I read is about the wonderful parts. Sometimes, you're really in the trenches!

My name is Constance Marie, and I am anti-princess.
