As a labor/birth and postpartum doula myself, I know the challenges when it comes to finding a balance between being affordable and making a decent living. I participated in a six month internship as part of my training and during that time was working as a student doula for the sake of gaining experience and so my…

Get yourself a doula!! They can help out with all that pesky house stuff, that rambunctious toddler plus a lot more. They’ll also have tips on belly binding and general tips for cesarean recovery. ❤️

You should write puberty books. You phrased that thought very well.

It sounds wrong because it is. Simple, isn’t it?

Personally I utilize my breasts as two large stress balls under times of extreme duress (and they are fantastic for this purpose).

Oof. I always go major reverse snob on celebrities who own ridiculously huge properties and massively hugemongous homes with theaters and kitchens the size of a restaurant and whatnot when there are people just down the road from them (in Hollywood this is the case) who are sleeping on the sidewalk. But I suppose if…

I hate hearing my own voice on a recording. I sound pedantic. And when I speak French I sound like a five year old. What is that about?

That’s interesting, it was NPR that I was listening to this morning. I guess the important thing in all of this is that the tent city jail was shut down.

He seems to exist on pure spite, so that’ll probably keep him going for at least a decade or two.

Yay nap day!

I wasn’t listening carefully and hadn’t yet had any coffee, so I didn’t catch all the details but there was something about how a pardon isn’t supposed to be granted until someone has officially been found guilty of something, and even then there’s a five year waiting period except in the most dire of cases. Basically…

On the news this morning it was pointed out that Arpaio has not yet admitted any wrongdoing, and accepting Trump’s pardon would be an admittance of guilt and then he’d possibly be opening himself up to civil suits. But to go the other way he would have to tell Trump to take his pardon and shove it, so it’ll be…

Samesies.

I LOVE her. I’ve been rewatching Sex in the City and she’s so lovely. I fell in love with her when she was in Hocus Pocus and remember my eight year old self being horrified to learn she smoked. I was extremely sheltered.

So cool! I have a client who is a week overdue, I was hoping she’d have the baby today.

Mmmmm. Gotta put some rosemary in there next time, and just a splash of red wine.

It seems like you went above and beyond in your attempt to respect your mother’s opinion and viewpoint. I’m sorry she couldn’t do the same for you. My aunt voted similarly, for Trump because she said “Hillary Clinton is a murderer, I could never vote for her”. She also only gets her news from Fox. But she is my aunt,…

Shit, you’re right. Especially on a nice sponge.

I’m not sure it’s meant to be taken literally this bit. Like the way Jonathan Swift didn’t actually intend for people to consume children, I don’t believe Tina here wants us to actually go out and just eat cake while 45 has a tea party with the KKK.

Clearly.
