Love, Sex and Getting Turned On by Erica Ehm
|
|
|
 Love and Sex. Two words dripping with meaning at
YummyMummyClub. Why? It's the often messy combination of love and sex
that's transformed us from carefree solo women into multi-tasking,
exhausted moms. The love of a man (or woman), the desire for family, the love
of sex, a passion for passion - become complicated concepts once kids
join the dance.
I often look at my husband Terry, who I barely knew when we
married, and thank my lucky stars that the hunky guy with sexy shoulders and
delish butt turned out to be a committed father and fantastic friend. Who knew?
Marriage is a roll of a dice. Love evolves. From man and woman to mom and dad.
From lingerie to flannels. From me-first to occasional me-time. You won't
hear me complaining. It's a deeper, richer and calmer love. But its
complicated *sigh*
Check out this heartfelt bunch of articles about
relationships written by and for moms who dared to expose the truth about love
and sex in a modern mummy's life. Grab a passion cocktail and a pile
of aphrodisiacs and get ready to be turned on.

Warning....this tv piece gets a little hot. |

Romance Schomance - I Need Sex by Lesley McDaid
|
|
|
Five days: that is as long as I can go without IT. It's like I have an expiry date after which my body parts start to atrophy. In romance novels the size-two heroine slays dragons with one hand, makes dinner with the other, and has earth shattering sex every other day. The reality is, for us non-heroine types, you need to take sex when and how you can... Click for more... |

Rights by Annie Fox

As the parent of a young teen, you may believe that your son or daughter is years away from a relationship. But let's face it, most middle-schoolers are totally focused on the Boyfriend/Girlfriend Zone. What do you think all that IMing and texting is about? Kids are going to experiment with relationships but there's no reason for them to stumble through the Bf/Gf Zone totally clueless.

What? My Husband Can't Read My Mind? by Jessica Howe
|
|

Up until our son Lucas was born six months ago, I prided myself on having good communication with my husband. Sure, we had our share of disagreements and spats, but overall, we shared our feelings both good and bad. That was until the little one came along. Then I found myself feeling frustrated because my husband didn't...

Love Can Surprise You by JP Shaw

|
|
I never imagined I would meet, fall in love and get married through an online dating service. But I did and am ever so grateful. My husband and I celebrated six years together and I still remember the moment I fell head over to heels and cashed in my single chips for a blended family filled with ups, downs, disabilities and fun along the way. It was...

 Letting GoIt happened twice this week: THE TANTRUM. Regardless of the time of
day, when
my three-year-old throws herself down on the ground and screams bloody
murder,
I am bombarded by thoughts: "Please God, no. Why is she doing this?
Why
is she doing this RIGHT NOW? I must suck as a mom. Why can't the ground
swallow me up? Are my neighbours hearing this? I must REALLY suck as a
mom. Does
everybody else's kid go through this? Is there something wrong with her?
