Your Beauty and the Beast takes are accurate.

I just can’t get my rage boner up for Barbie when there are so many Disney princesses to hate. Like, do you even KNOW the theme of Little Mermaid? It’s “give away your VOICE, the very essence of what makes you you, so some boy will like you!” That’s fucked! Barbie is just thin with boobs and a lot of outfits. Someone…

That narrative is everywhere, and it’s so damaging. I had a ton of trouble with my first kiddo, and we ended up supplementing to the point that the breastfeeding I did was essentially for show. Even knowing, intellectually, that she was absolutely fine with formula (healthy! happy! absolutely loved the stuff!), I…

Oh my gosh, your beautiful girl!

This take is 100% wrong. My work wardrobe is like 70% wrap dresses (always with a cami underneath, these boobs need containment). I am literally wearing one right now. They’re the only thing from my pre-baby life I can still wear, because they’re so forgiving. Team wrap dress 4-eva.

But like, did it work? Because I definitely know the pain you’re taking about, but I’m fairly confident having your husband go to town on it wouldn’t be markedly more effective than your baby or pump. I feel you on the desperation, though! Handwarmers in your bra help a lot, I found (thanks, after-hours nurse for the…

TJ’s has the cheap butter, Whole Foods has (surprisingly) the cheap milk and much better looking produce, and there are some glorious places if we’re interested in a road trip (such as), but none of them are walking distance from my house like S&S is, so I keep going back like a chump. Sometimes it’s 8PM and you just…

Carly Simon has been to my long-time stylist, so now I can technically claim that she and I see the same stylist.

I also thought that was the McGrath one.

Agreed on all counts, and especially about the bathrooms. Even my 4-year-old knows we don’t go to the bathroom at Stop and Shop unless its a real emergency.

I’ve breastfed and I’ve had clogged ducts, can I judge? Because I am. A) That’s not this works - hot compresses and frequent feeding/pumping fixes it, and B) Look, if you want to add breastfeeding into your sex stuff, you do you I guess but I’m seriously weirded out by the idea, and I definitely don’t want to be privy…

I used to watch Antiques Roadshow with an old roommate who would always say, when some ugly shit had a high estimate, “Check, please!”

Yes to your Fage opinions, which is why I’m pissed that all the stores near me recently majorly decreased their Fage stock (presumably to make room for the 800k other yogurts available). All I want in my life is the 0% Fage with honey, but no luck. Also, you are correct that Chobani is literal garbage juice.

Old Navy has recently started up sending me emails about maternity clothes again, and I actually was worried for a minute that I was pregnant and didn’t realize it. 

I lived through (and wore) these clodhoppers during their first tour of duty. Hard pass.

Uh, I think she’s saying not that it’s easy, but rather that being a mom did not fundamentally change who she was, which was a person with her own career and interests. Which, same! Motherhood did not fundamentally change me as a person. I’m still me, just with two new little pals. I think that some people use…

Nicole Cliffe is the absolute best. She follows me on instagram, and occasionally likes pictures of my kids, and I die of joy a little each time.

I am now picturing your classic Market Basket customer (god bless ‘em) surprising herself with her own reflection in the freezer case, and it’s delightful.
