- Freezio shares Germanic parenting tips.
- Lindsay fantasizes about having a gay son.
- RockStar Mommy discovers her twin.
- Sarah is counting down her 100 favorite albums of all time (I know a lot of us are doing this, but Sarah's taste in music is so similar to mine (except for the reggae), it's almost scary. I'm beginning to think she's my long-lost sister or something.).
