Hello. My name is Annabelle and I am a single mother of one four-legged baby. His name is Hank.

You might be a crazy dog mom, too, if you show any of these symptoms.

Buy him a monthly subscription box instead of yourself

Bark Box is so expensive and Hank destroys the toys in about 15 minutes. But that face... he loves his Bark Boxes so I can't unsubscribe.

FaceTime him when you go on vacation

I am a helicopter mom for sure. Whoever is watching Hank HAS to send me updates. I want to know how his day was and I must speak to him via FaceTime.

Hold him like an infant at all times--even at the dinner table

He wants to be engaged in the dinner conversation too.

Buy him Chick-fil-a nuggets if you are gone for too long

I feel so bad if I am in class all day and am too tired to play with him when I get home... so I buy him nuggets. #ChildhoodObesity

Give him half of your dinner...every time

I have to make sure my child has a well balanced diet.

Buy him new toys before you go out of town as a peace offering

I needed him to know that I still loved him and that I was going to come back home.

Throw him a birthday "pawty" and insist that everyone bring a gift

That cake was a pain to bake and smelled so weird. The things I do for Hank...

You own a leggings with his face on them. Yes... this one is bad.

Is it bad to admit I also have the matching socks?

Take him to Starbucks for puppuchinos so often that the baristas know him by name

Your barista knows your order, my barista knows my dog.

Make sure his Instagram is always poppin

Hank has dog friends on Instagram. Other dog moms and I communicate to each other as if we are our dog. I must stop this sentence before I really think about how insane this is.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
