More than proving that Celeste is a bad mother, the circumstances are proving that she is a terrible lawyer. Everybody has to keep reminding her that she is a lawyer, and she is always surprised that custody battles against bitter people are ugly. She also loses it when most lawyers have tricks to keep themselves…

I am not sure that they would even have the money at this point, but I am positive that somebody like Renata would have a pre-nup for the cheating and even though the rest of the debts are community property, the nanny would not be her problem other than emotionally. Also, I am pretty sure that the letter of…

I just finished my last parenting class for being a foster parent. Now all I have to do is pass the home inspection, and then talk to the agency about finding a Native American girl who is available for adoption as well as fostering and slowly meeting her to see if it will work. I am excited and scared all at once.…

The thing is if they just calmed down, they might be good friends.

I was under the impression that it was the apartment that Celeste rented to get away from Perry, and since it was already furnished and she may help with the rent it is perfect for Jane since she is family now.

I am confused as to why Jane does not get a restraining order against Mary-Louise. Stalking her, and then moving into her apartment complex is far too creepy and not good for her child. Also, why did Celeste not get the locks changed first thing after telling Mary-Louise to go. She should also get a restraining order…

He really does sound like Samuel L. Jackson when singing ( which he does very well). And I am going to have the silent e song going through my head all day.

For the time being, stay in front of a fan and put some damp washcloths in the freezer ( in a plastic bag) to put on your neck, face or under the baby bump. It’s not a total solution, but it helps.

Good point, thank you!

Bonnie’s mother looked amazing in the 70's gear. I don’t know if she would have been old enough to work that look in the actual 70's, but ... wow. Also, it would have been a smart social move for Renata to ask Chloe to DJ Amabella’s party ( Chloe is a budding musical genius after all). And Madeline could tell her…

The Octavia/ Dioza thing might be slow, but I love their bonding. Octavia is probably exactly how Dioza wants her baby to be ( plus or minus the cannibalism). And I think we have a contender for the baby’s godmother. And I am impressed that the glowing anomaly not only healed Octavia, it also conditioned her hair and…

I am in need of some opinions. I have been getting ready to foster/ adopt a child, and am getting close to the home inspection part of the process. The thing is that I have my mother’s old bed which is a replica of an antique, but is also old enough to be an antique and would be fine for a kid that is elementary to…

Your story just made the entire week better!

For some reason, probate law brings out the very worst in people. If you are worried for your grandmother, you might want to tell the nursing home that the family is taking her assets. Nursing homes usually have some very serious lawyers who will defend their clients’ assets with everything because it could pay for…

Love the romper, please tell me you got the tiara hat too!

Geraldine Brooks writes some good ones. I like People of the Book, which has several eras as a book is passed from one person to another and a scientist studies all the clues she can find in the book, including plants in the pages.

Congratulations! The charm is adorable! Even though I live in Southern Arizona where it is over 100 F every day, but somehow, being in a place that is built to be damp and coolish would be so much worse because we already know stuff like when it is a terrible idea to go outside, and the fact that window tinting and…

When you add the tiny, unstable heel and unsupportive straps, that is an ankle break just waiting to happen.

Now that is a LADY with STYLE. I wish I knew her.

That is a good idea. I will look into that, and it will keep me busy while I wait for the unknown, which is nobody’s favorite thing.
