I love baseball. I was raised on baseball. My dad gave me my first mitt in preschool. I spent sunny summers in dusty fields learning to bat, learning how to throw, catching grounders, running for fly balls. Every Sunday my sister, brother and I would ride in the back of my dad’s pickup down to the elementary [...]

It’s a question I am asked repeatedly. Recently a friend was gobsmacked upon discovering the lack of both gender and racial diversity with the United States Congress.

My name is Jenny Grace, and I’m a DivaCup convert. For the uninitiated, the DivaCup is a menstrual cup, which is a bell-shaped silicone cup used to collect menstrual fluid.  During my period, instead of using a pad or tampon, I insert a menstrual cup, which collects rather than absorbs liquid, so I empty  it [...]

October 12, 2011

I work at a huge car dealership. And I’ve heard it so many times… Don’t go to a dealership by yourself. They rip off women. Make sure your husband, boyfriend, friend, brother, or dad comes with you. Bring a man! WHAT?! Ladies, ladies, ladies. We don’t need a man to buy a car. We’re smart. [...]

October 11, 2011

I remember seven years ago when I gave birth to my firstborn (I’m now expecting my fourth in about 3 months), I was both amazed and completely freaked out at what my body had just done. The first 48-72 hours were a blur, but I remember thinking more than a few times, “I never remember [...]

Combating A Hairy Situation

October 7, 2011

Unwanted, unnecessary body hair. I have it. We all do to some extent. I am of middle-eastern descent, which most of the time means one of two things: 1) I love Falafel 2) I have a thick coat of hair on my body I realized I was hairier than my peers at around age 10, [...]

Hedonism, Self-Care, and the Curse of the Type-A Personality

October 6, 2011

When I was a little girl, my parents had a cartoon philosophy book in our library. I loved that book—probably because it was the only book with illustrations in a room full of hardbound theology books. As an adult, I now see the humor in the book—it was a simple book with a different philosophy [...]

A Generation Lost in Space.

October 5, 2011

A few days ago, my mother was told she was going to be laid off. She’s a receptionist at a medical office. She’s been there for 16 years. It was out of the blue, and as she sat on my couch in shock and sobbing, and as I sat there in the rare reversed role [...]
