Does having kids change your friendships?

Posted by Kelly Voelker in October 15th 2009  

I feel like I’ve been hearing a lot about this topic lately from so many different perspectives.

Posted by Melissa Parlaman in August 17th 2009  

Over three years ago, when I gave birth to  PP, I was not as “social media savvy” as I am now. I also lived back in my home state so it was easy to keep in touch with my family and friends without the assistance of social technology.
