I've discussed how I dislike the concept of Santa before. Unfourtunately my 2 year old noticed a giant inflatable Santa at the grocery store, and she fucking loves him. (giant inflatable Santa sprung a leak, and has been taken down, so now she says "San' ... where are you??!!...San' Sick!!!" all the way through the…

That really does sound amazing. I'm going to make it tonight, and not tell my husband about the mushrooms (it works when I put spinach in his pasta or stir fry and just don't tell him)

For money, health and ideological reasons I want to introduce some vegetarian meals into my family's meal rotation. Baby steps.

That did not work at all! this:

Our daughter is basically named after Georgia Lass from Dead Like Me. It was on my list since I was around 17. What happened was my husband has ADD, and couldn't stand to pore over baby names with me, and so I gave him a list of my faves, and he rated them. He thought Georgia was ok, but the only name he liked a lot…

YES!

Every time I hear the name Gideon I think of this :

What in the heck was that thing where they were... blinking...on/at...each other (?) Is this something people do?

I have no tips, but I thought it might help you to know that I once had a non-neutered cat artfully piss directly between a mattress and boxspring, without getting any on the outside. The same cat later taught himself to pee in the toilet, so there could be hope.

1. Shopping for my brothers in law. My sisters in law are easy and cheap to shop for (Felted brooches from the farmers market are under $10.) My nephews are fun to shop for (a big plush Bob-Bomb, a copy of Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb and some wooden animal cutouts, done) But it's extremely hard to shop for adult males…

We wanted a girl. We got one. She's awesome. We're supposed to be trying to get pregnant again (not going so well) and I'd prefer another girl. Mostly because my sister is my best friend, and my brother and I only started to be on friendly terms this year, but also I feel like girls can be whoever they want to be, and…

yeah, she's 3 ft tall which puts her in the 90th percentile for height I beleive. She's 2 1/4. She's really muscular, and when I say she's not fat, I mean that relative to my own baby pictures. Whereas I had big belly rolls and an arse so big my parents couldn't find disposable diapers big enough to cover it, my…

It's been days, so you'll probably never see this, but he never tried to meet the "15 year old girl" in real life. Apparently the police were contacted, but we live in Canada, so theres every chance the cops just ignored the report.

My 2 year old weighs 36 pounds. And she's not fat. Just to add to the WTF sentiment that a 14 year old weighed 28 pounds. The malnutrition must have gone on for years, and her growth must have been stunted, because I'd imagine if it were a case of starvation over a short period her bones would make it impossible to…

A story of failed vigilante-ism: On Facebook I once received a message from a stranger with the name of one of my husband's cousins as the subject, and video titled something to the effect of "depraved pervert ect ect." He was a youth minister with a pregnant wife so I assumed it was bullshit and deleted it without…

cram it Ronson. I get complaints if I don't remember to upload photos of my kid on facebook every few weeks. And I handmade that goddamned tutu. And anyone with a basic grasp of technology can easily either edit thier subscriptions so they don't see my photos, unsubscribe to me altogether, or if they find photos of my…

my grandmother had 12 childeren, and her uterus certainly did prolapse. Just not spontaneously at the time of childbirth. It happened when she was in her 80's, a few months before she died from uterine cancer. Just because historically numerous pregnancies weren't unusual does not mean that it's healthy, or what our…

Can anyone confirm that nail polish remover will remove permanent marker from plastic?

Pregnant women can have caffeine. Just not an excessive amount. But I even know someone who's doctor recommended drinking coffee prior to an ultrasound so the fetus would move around more.

I worked for one of Budget rental cars' call center's for almost 4 years, and either theres a fair few pantyhose pervs, or someone from my training class talked to this guy : He told my friend Denis "I bet you can't wait to get home and take off those pantyhose!"... to which Denis replied " ...I'm a man..." and got…
