Recent conversations with young women, aspiring to be young mothers, are exemplary of changes in attitudes towards pregnancy in the past few decades – perhaps motivated by a recent barrage of Hollywood and advertising images of pregnancy.

Events seem to occur in patterns and waves, and lately, many of my married friends are getting divorced, for a variety of reasons. I’ve come to observe how friendship and common interests are the glue that binds childfree couples together - and empty nesters too!

Camping was once our favorite summer activity but now most places are so packed with kids that we've recently done a flip-flop – camping and traveling in the winter and retreating to our cabin hideaway in the summer.

Childfree couples and singles are often subject to accusations of being “selfish” or “antisocial.” In my experience, childfree people are some of the most generous and actively community-oriented people I meet.

Holiday season is upon us again. It can be a miserable time or a beautiful, magical season all depending on how we approach the days leading up to the holidays.
