Breakfast sandwiches are pretty much the world’s most perfect invention. I prefer bacon, egg, and cheese myself.

What do you eat for breakfast?! :)

This is fantastic. Can everything you write from now on be your attempts at translating from other languages?

I totally agree- it would be great if some other milestone were used as the opportunity for big gift-giving, especially since lots of people don’t get married. Like you say, graduation, or when the person moves into their first apartment/house after college, or whatever.

Maybe she has a team of four cooks to expedite the hulling of vast quantities of strawberries.

She must have been planning on returning for cash or store credit, right? Because that’s nuts. Either that or they have an amazing life in which they routinely set out five different ice-cream flavors to make an ice-cream buffet for dinner.

It sounds like your problem is with the tradition of giving gifts at weddings and not with the registries themselves (or maybe it’s both). I appreciate registries because I don’t want to get them something they don’t like/won’t use. Even people I am close to have at times surprised me with their taste (as in, it’s not…

Check out Momofuku Milk Bar. They do un-iced cakes that are genuinely delicious with unique flavors. They are based in NYC but they ship.

That’s crazy! Where I am there are some areas that were clearly not designed with pedestrians in mind, but it is pretty easy to mostly avoid them. Good luck with the new baby, I hope he gets out of there soon!

They would just alter the practice so women came earlier in their pregnancies.

We have one because we do a nanny share and I have been surprised at how well it works. I would never have thought the tiny wheels would work on the uneven sidewalks we have.

I had my kids later and it has been really great not having tons of financial worries. I really don’t understand the mentality that I sometimes see of “Don’t worry about your financial situation— have kids and everything will work out!” I’m not saying everyone should have to be well-off to have kids, but I think it is…

I think there are pros and cons to both ways of doing it. We waited until we were older (mid-30s) not for financial reasons, but because we met late. Regardless, being financially stable with young kids has been great. Having babies/toddlers is such a stressor, and so is financial trouble. It’s really nice not to have…

Would it be possible to get a smaller, train-friendly single stroller that has one of those little wheeled platforms on the back for the toddler to stand on? I wore my second one a lot when he was smaller, but it was the winter. My first was born in the summer and I couldn’t wear him— the few times I tried he wound up…

Mine are 2.5 years apart so I totally feel everything you are saying. My older one literally walks directly into people because he’s not watching where he’s going. Or I’ll tell him to move over to the side to let other people by and he stands there frozen right in the middle of the sidewalk. Or he remembers that I…

I live in a city with a toddler and a baby. The stroller is just so convenient. Our almost-three-year-old wants to walk everywhere. But then any trip takes an hour because he stops to look at the flowers down the street, inspects each fire hydrant, takes a break outside the neighbor’s house, decides to walk backwards…

Thank you for saving me from having to go on a similar rant. People who think the needs of the mother don’t/shouldn’t matter can go fuck themselves.

Yeah, and interestingly, her three sons all go by B names (like Caitlyn did pre-transition) and her daughter from her previous marriage has a C name. I realize her first wife also has a C name, but it seems consistent with Jenner/Kardashian naming conventions.

I have a freakishly long torso, which I guess explains why I have always been more comfortable on men’s bikes. Once in a bike shop the guy who was helping me was like, “I don’t want to offend you, but you have short legs.” I was like, “My legs are the same length they were when I walked in here, so no I’m not…

“Why did you choose your cake flavors?!” Because they taste good! Please don’t tell me that there is supposed to be deeper thought put into this decision.
