As I was listening to my friend, I took a mental stock of what I was wearing at the moment,...

Stretch marks appear as thin parallel lines. Most of the time, they create tiny depressions under the...

Autism is puzzling; puzzling because no one can figure out what exactly is causing this disorder and puzzling because it can affect each individual so differently. That is why it can be so confusing for parents to try and figure exactly what is going on with their child prior to being diagnosed with autism.

They let her sit in a pink car and gave her a lollipop as well as a pic of her new haircut, a certificate and a little baggy with some of her curls in it. It was a $26 haircut and we have...
