I got the same Ipsy box you did. Do you mind if I ask what color your eyes are? I also got the blue eyeliner. My eyes are blue/grey, and I’m 43, so I was going to give it unopened to my 18 yo niece. I didn’t think it would work for me.

Little Doo went through a stage where she pooped at naptime and before bed. I thought that would never end but it did. She was a bear to get to sleep at ages 2-4 when she was napping during the day, and to get down for her naps. She still doesn’t want to go to bed at night, but at least she’s usually out by 9 instead…

Yes! I was 9, and I woke up to find my grandmother already up and watching the wedding. I remember watching it with her.

Don’t be. My cousin at one point ate nothing but blueberry waffles and hot dogs. He was the pickiest eater I have ever encountered, and I’m middle-aged. He’s now in his 30s and eats EVERYTHING, including sushi.

The Little Dude is 13 months. He eats a ton of mostly fruit and some veggies (Dude has been eating an entire peach plus other stuff for dinner every night) and there is nothing I can toss in the toilet. Even if it is firm, he ends up smashing it when he lands on his butt, which usually happens before I can change him,…

Little Doo is 7. Last year, thanks to Gangnam Style that was all over TV and the radio, she insisted on calling everything sexy. No one in the family influenced her; I actively tried to discourage her use of that word since she has no idea of what it really means.

The first time I saw “Chicago” in the theater, I turned to my friend and said “too much hair removal.” They’re in lingerie the entire time. Although I image the theater actresses can get away with those really thick nude colored tights, but models and celebrities can’t.

I went to brush one of mine (already fell out) and I lost it down the drain. But I think I was 12 or 13 at that point, so I don’t think I was getting any money for it anyway.

Yes, Little Doo has been getting $2 per tooth. We agreed that the two upper front teeth are worth $5 each (when she finally loses them). I’ve had the two fives hidden away for months now so I have them when I need them. She’s almost 8 and she’s only lost two on the bottom so far!

You can also get a great deal if you are a Costco or AAA member and you use their auto buying program. I just bought a new Odyssey, and the Costco member price was $6k off of invoice and $3k less than the KBB average sales price.

Definitely not high on my list, which is why I haven’t done it. I took Little Doo to a waterpark after school ended, and my son went to his sitter just like usual. He’s just starting to walk, plus he still needs naps. There’s no reason to take him, unless I’m taking Little Doo and he can’t go to the sitter. But there…

Costco sells a bamboo shawl (bambina?) for $19.99 that is the warmest thing I have ever felt. They have different versions in the summer and the winter. I didn’t care for the summer version I bought a few years ago, but the winter version is incredibly soft and warm and folds up very small. When I used to travel for…

Not sure that they need this or that it counts, but I believe that if you divorce prior to 10 years, you only have to pay alimony for half the term of the marriage, so up to 5 years. After 10 years, you can be required to pay alimony for life. Also, as others below have stated, after 10 years you can also collect on…

My son turned one this month. His appointment was originally scheduled for the day after his birthday, and the pediatrician’s office called and said his doctor was going to be out of the office that day, and we rescheduled for the day before his birthday. During the appointment, his pediatrician realized that he was…

Thank you Kelly. My mother, who is in her early 60s, recently (right before my son’s first birthday) posted a list on my Facebook page that compared vaccines in 1985 to vaccines now. Her chiropractor and a few other wackos, all of whom are probably too old to have babies, but should remember polio, brought up the…

It’s been a while since I’ve been on Match, but there was one guy who used one of the free communication weekends to try to get laid. Overall, I did find more relationship material on Match than on OKC. I deleted my OKC profile after getting 2 hookup requests from significantly younger men in one day. I never met any…

I might be interested in some of the middle-aged divorced fathers, as a middle-aged divorced mother. Oh, who am I kidding? I’d settle for a full night’s sleep and the chance to watch (undisturbed) one of the 500 movies in my Netflix queue.

Nitpicking here, but if that was where the bear was supposed to be sewn up, wouldn’t it go all the way up the torso?

Exactly! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been given two $5 instead of a $10, but it’s enough times that I’ve joked with my friends for several years that there’s a nationwide shortage of tens.

My soil is pretty hard and somewhat clay-like, as my grass is dying and clover is taking over.
