Dr. Mommy’s Magic Butt Paste
very once in a while, being a pediatrician mom comes in handy. I’m not talking about those times when the other mothers are worried about the sugar content of infant formula, and you’re like puleeze, forget sugar! I’m more worried about neuroblastoma, histiocytosis X, and rheumatoid arthritis! My pediatric background ratchets up the worry meter [...]

I’m about to be a mom, actually, but I don’t want to just be [...]
Wedged In The Car Seat
hat would be Zara.
