Kids are a lot of fun, especially during this time of year. In the previous post, I talked about how I have a whole collection of Halloween-inspired things I want to do this year.

Woman vs. Woman Has Got to Stop!
The Mommy Wars, competitive work environments, backstabbing friends – what do all of these things have in common? They all center around the idea that women, by nature, are quite competitive folks.
