#iusedto
Recently, I started reminiscing with a grade school friend over Facebook about the things we did in elementary school. We had poofy bangs, and fluorescent socks, listened to Paul Abdul and wore leggings with long sweaters. That conversation started a long string of thoughts, and I thought about all the things I “used to” do.

Birthday realizations
Once upon a time. Back in the day. When I was little. I used to. Remember when. Now. I celebrated my 37th birthday last week, and admit I felt a little tingle at the base of my skull; the hairs stood on end, excited and invigorated as I inched ever closer to 40. It’s somewhat of

100 Lies People Tell
100. It wasn’t me. 99. I’ll only eat one. 98. I don’t have time to work out. 97. I invented that. 96. I’m not good enough. 95. I need others to make me happy. 94. I’m better than him/her. 93. I’m not attractive. 92. My opinion doesn’t matter. 91. If I had more money, life

Vagina. Penis. Breastfeeding. Period. THERE I SAID IT.

I hate poo
I can’t even tell you how many times, before having kids of my own, I would gag at the mere thought of changing a diaper. Parents would say, “Aw, you get used to it! It’s your own kid!” And puke? Let’s just say that many a university night out at a bar ended up in

Flavour-Infused Sugars (by Story)
> With the best intentions, every year before Christmas I plan to make something fun for people, and then the time flies by and I’m left with only purchased gifts. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I really, truly love making things to share.) This year, I wanted to get on the ball

Tough choices
>So pretend you started a company to occupy yourself in a creative and challenging way, not necessarily because you needed to bring money into your home. (Though, hey, the extra money is always great, right?) Let’s say you’ve worked extremely hard to build this company into something that provides other people with an income, and
