Dating with baby goggles on

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Katherine Baldwin

It’s September 13th, which means I’m forty-and-a-half. This is a little worrying, both professionally and personally. Professionally because I’d hoped to turn this site into something more over the course of my 40th year – an online magazine at least, … Continue reading →
