Salt in the Womb: January 2016

Friday, January 29, 2016. Forget Harry Pottter, Merlin is my new boyfriend. I don't believe in magic. And I always promised myself I would never do product reviews, because, how totally annoying. I don't want to be an infomercial for anything. But no one ever said I keep my promises. So allow me to now completely contradict myself and become a walking infomercial for a product I love so much, I've considered marrying it. Merlin's Magic Sleep Suit. Why do they not teach us about this when we give birth?

It looks like blankness.". This is just a bundle of fun. Doc pu...

Friday, October 7, 2016. Underplayed: Why My Son Didn't Get A First Year Birthday Party, and Why I'm Okay With It. My son turned 1 last weekend.

http://saltinthewomb.blogspot.com/2016/08/bravo-how-reality-television-triggered_4.html
Thursday, August 4, 2016. How One Television Network is Changing the Public's Understanding of Infertility. I dig reality television. Don't judge. It started as just a way to blow off steam, a fun little escape into other people's problems. Over the years though, I have come to realize that yes, I truly enjoy it. The (usually manufactured) drama, the silliness, the pretty people in 5" stilettos throwing wine on each other. It's all very, very good. Way to make me a lifelong viewer, Andy Cohen. We've come...

Ever. A few weeks ago I wrote this blog post. From the 1200 words that I wrote, I have recently been called out for like, 28 of them. In the original blog post, I said:.
