I Almost Forgot...

Something I just never blogged about (yet) was my trip to the Florida Keys earlier this month. My good friends were awesome enough to let me tag along on their boat from Stuart, FL down to the mid-keys.

Pictures speak louder than words, so check out my Flickr set from the trip:

Childfree in the news

Articles like * this * make me sigh with relief in hopes that the US (and obviously parts of Europe too) will take a step back from the "family friendly" podium. Could it actually be possible that parents would care that people who choose to be childfree are paying (higher) taxes to, in part, support their kids? Or maybe employers will actually have to address the previously taboo subject of parent-employees having more "benefits" offered them than people who are childfree?
I am enjoying the publicity that the childfree lifestyle is gaining. Perhaps in the future people will stop challenging me on my decision....like when I am 50...sailing the world and enjoying life while I am young...meanwhile,parents will be working overtime to pay college tuition :)

...and NO I WILL NOT change my mind !
