I’m so excited to share my friend’s new blog for Parents Magazine! Bekka Besich is a childhood friend of mine who is a delight to be around and a hoot to read. She’s writing all about her experiences expecting baby #2 in her blog, Great Expectations. Her tongue-in-cheek, ruthlessly honest, and “endearingly imperfect” stories will make you laugh till you cry. (And because I’ve been reading her personal blog as well, I know there are times she’ll make you just plain old cry. This one still gets me every time.) Check out her blog and become a fan of hers on Facebook!
