I always buy my son a ticket even though he isn’t two yet because I don’t want to hold him for several hours, and 9 times out of 10 the flight attendants act like I’m an asshole for bringing a car seat on board. It boggles the mind.

1. One of the most frequent reasons I fly with my kids is to get specialized medical treatment for my 4 year old daughter, who has a congenital leg malformation. In fact, we are taking a four hour flight (with my 10 month old son, too!) tomorrow so that she can have surgery where they will break her leg, insert rods…

I am not short, but I have no waist. Like, there is a straight line from my rib cage to my hip bone with no indentation. Low rise jeans fit me the best of all jeans. (And you can’t say no one looked good in low rise. Britney looked pretty damn sexy.)

Lactose doesn’t pass through breast milk. Milk protein does. Lactose is a sugar. Milk protein is a protein.

I’d like to see a woman review the AppleWatch. I got mine yesterday, replacing my Pebble. I vastly prefer the look of the 38MM AppleWatch to my Pebble. It fits better on my wrist. For me, a smartwatch solves one of the biggest problems of being a woman: my phone is always at the bottom of my purse out of sight and out…

He wouldn’t lie about that in the press. He could be sanctioned by the Bar. It’s such an easy thing to prove.

I assume that “in excess of $15,000” is a filing requirement to show that the court in which she filed has jurisdiction over the matter. If you read the story, it says she asked for $7M. She is looking to get rich.

For what it’s worth, burning bodies smell like barbecue. Like delicious barbecue.

I have two kids, neither angels, and I always return the cart. Jesus. It’s not that hard.

I’m OK with Midway food because I spent my 20s in Chicago, so Potbelly is kind of like my default food. I’m never that stoked to eat Potbelly, but it will always do. However, once last summer Midway was jam packed and the line for Potbelly was down the terminal and I didn’t have time, so I got a Ben and Jerry’s…

We are almost double the upper bound in my state, but after student loans and childcare, we don't have any special luxuries.

Use nipple cream (I use Earth Mama Baby Angel, but any kind will do) on a chapped nose when you have a cold. Even Vaseline irritates my chapped skin, but nipple cream is like soothing little angel kisses.

Dissolve it in hot water before adding it to the machine. It's annoying to have to take the extra step, but it works so well. And the liquid Oxi Clean is useless.

Yes. The 535s are everything, and they cost $35 on Zappos. My other jeans are $200 Paige, and I'm honestly not sure they're any better.

OK, so... My daughter needs this surgery due to a birth defect leaving one leg shorter than the other. A few facts: it's considered painful, but not super painful. Kids only take pain meds for a few days to a week afterwards. And you are able to stay weight bearing, swim, etc. Your greatest risk for pain is pin site…

This is one person's experience. I had the easiest time breastfeeding for 15 months. No pain. No scabs. My kid bit me once and it hurt. We even weaned super slowly so there was no painful engorgement. Overall, it was an easy, great experience. And it was free! Formula costs a FORTUNE. I hope Tracie's bad experience…

Sorry, I just saw this question. It was a relatively new study that said that giving tylenol/motrin may reduce the immunity conferred by the vaccine. I'm sure it's not a big deal, but we try to avoid giving meds after the shots.

The logic I've heard is that it limits the temporary after-effects. People claim that the baby is less likely to get that 18 hour miserable fever they get after vaxing. Is this true? I don't know. But as long as their vaxing relatively on schedule, I don't really care.

Alternative vaccine schedules are relatively common here in Colorado, but everyone I know who follows them DOES get all the vaccines for their child in a perfectly reasonable timeframe. (Certain shots happen 1 month- 6 weeks after the traditional time.) This is about spacing out shots, not about not getting them. You…

I'm not as big of a neat freak as Kim, but the shoes everywhere would drive me nuts. My husband has pretty big feet, size 13, and his shoes weigh a freaking ton and are hard to step around. No lie, I broke my baby toe on a pair of his dress shoes once. I assume Kris' shoes are bigger, heavier, and even more of an…
