Seriously. My ex-husband is an officer in the Army, and it was this shit right out of the gate, even back in 2003, before there were this many companies, and this much social media. I think I can only remember one spouse get together that wasn’t a front for some MLM nonsense. My distaste for such things, coupled with…
I feel really bad for so many of my girlfriends, who feel that selling things from their home is the only way they can contribute financially to the household while raising children. As someone who spends more than $24K a year in daycare costs for two children (at the second cheapest option in the area, so not…

Posted in the “alternatives” thread, try directly supporting the indy companies Modcloth has always bought from. Miss L Fire, the BEST shoes. They also buy shoes from indy/quirky companies B.A.I.T., Chelsea Crew, Lulu Hun, etc.

Second eShakti- I also haven’t gotten anything from them in a few years, but my weight has finally stabilized post-baby so I do plan to get some stuff for spring.
