People tell me, “Angie, you are lucky to have so many supportive people in your life.” It’s true; however, I don’t consider it luck. Either these individuals have been gifted to me, or I have chosen these people to play important roles in my life. My gut tells me that it’s a combination of the two.

When will my baby start getting teeth?
We’ve all been there: After leaving work, you get into your car and begin to drive home. As you drive, you see your gym two blocks ahead. You debate. You fret. You grip the steering wheel, palms sweating, and desperately will your car to deliver you to the gym. But alas, you keep driving toward home.
