My name is Migdalia, @MsLatina on Twitter, and I am a shoe-holic. This is what I would say if I were involved with SA (Shoe-holics Anonymous). I'm an addict. My head swoons at the thought of shoes.

When I had my sons, I imagined them all dressed up with little suits and ties. In my mind they were always impeccably dressed and well behaved. Of course that was a fantasy... or at least part of it was! They may not have been the most well behaved - As the saying goes, boys [...]

The Face of One Who’s Health Was At Risk  (“When the health of the mother is at risk”) Thumbnail The Face of One Who’s Health Was At Risk  (“When the health of the mother is at risk”) Thumbnail

Before the birth of my youngest son, I had two miscarriages and an abortion. That pregnancy haunts me to this day. My son, my precious child, would have been 12.
