When people ask if my son is my first child, I say “first and probably only.” I know I should drop the word probably but I just can’t do it.

My toddler’s awesome play kitchen has felt food, handy utensils and cute tiny plates. It’s so awesome in fact, I find myself “tidying” it up every night.

I wanted to use an anonymous sperm donor so I could remain in control. It turned out to be more complicated, and more beautiful than that.
