By: Grace Michel Throughout the entire experience of being pregnant, there are many emotions and anticipations about what you're going through. Knowing this, it is easy to understand why the last few weeks of a pregnancy can be the hardest to deal with mentally.

By: Carolina Pichardo It's a very frightening moment. Your child confesses to you that someone's been "touching" them. You begin to think the most horrible things, that Manhattan's Peak post, plus your story, and before you know it... You just don't know what to think. Fortunately for me, my daughter's story was about someone from a school program that was pulling and touching her ear. She said she just didn't

By: Staff Report You just have to love and appreciate them. We're talking about your husband, mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousins, step-relatives and everyone else that happens to be sitting around the table.
