Perhaps I am the laziest lazy that ever lazed but I use the pods. The Costco ones are awesome and the price difference isn't a big deal. I suppose measuring laundry detergent isn't that big of a deal but when I used the liquid, I somehow ended up with detergent drips all over the washer and my husband would use a…

I don't know, I think my baby ventriloquist dummy is some pretty good competition. We had to come up with something to highlight the fact that since birth she's had a hairdo.

Case in point - none of the friends or family members who were in direct contact with Thomas Eric Duncan contracted ebola. I think we should have a mandatory quarantine for measles or pertussis, they are highly contagious and there have been over 17,000 cases of pertussis since January 1 this year. Why isn't anyone…

I live in Texas and I just had my second baby 5 months ago. I noticed a huge shift in attitude about breastfeeding since I had my first child 7 years ago. The hospital was almost obnoxiously pro-breastfeeding and there are billboards and commercials everywhere about breastfeeding. Including ones that inform you that…

As a woman who has experienced infertility, I think this is great. As a working mother who got laid off 2 months after I returned from maternity leave, I think - how about making it possible for women to have children without worrying about derailing their careers. I don't know about Apple and Facebook specifically…

I'll take any Crim Law case over those early Supreme Court cases about interstate commerce. I dare Shonda to make a show where that's titillating or interesting. Can't be done.

I'm not protesting at all, I love me some schadenfreude on occasion. I am merely pointing out that not all criticism is trolling, a point that you seem to have completely missed so I will stop feeding this troll and get back to my pathetic little life where I don't have a blog that presents an idealized version of my…

Now who's trolling and name calling? Again, there are celebrities who manage to maintain their privacy by NOT PUTTING IT OUT THERE. Compare how many pictures you see of Kim Kardashian's baby vs. Kristen Bell and Dax Shephard's baby (hint - none). If you parade your personal life in front of the cameras and use your…

If it makes you feel better, the last few times we went it wasn't that great.

The terms "trolling" and "bullying" seem to be applied pretty broadly for any instance of criticism. I'm sorry but I think there's a difference between a woman harassing the parents of a missing child who were unwillingly thrust into the public eye and criticizing bloggers who put literally every aspect of their lives…

Thank you for posting this, I had never heard of Dr. Love but I just signed up!

I know this is terrible but I would like to know that Amal has some flaw, even something tiny like she hates puppies or something. Because brilliant, gorgeous, successful AND married to George Clooney is a little to much for my mortal brain to comprehend.

I couldn't even make it through a minute of that. I have a 4 month old and I made sure my husband, mother, and I all got pertussis vaccines before she was born because we live in Texas where pertussis outbreaks have reached epidemic proportions. It's also worth noting that it's a disease considered so virulent that…

So I just had a baby at 45 - a delightful surprise after years of infertility and my older child is 7. My husband and I are also dealing with aging parents. I have to say all the arguments about saddling children with the responsibility of dealing with you when you are aged are kind of bullshit. My dad had cancer and…

I'd be willing to put money on that not being the first or last time he's assaulted her.

Congrats to you too! My new baby was a surprise too - at 45 and after years of infertility (and another miscarriage). She was a little superstar with the maternity nurses, they dubbed her a "miracle baby." My husband and I still look at her and say to each other "can you believe it??"

When I had my first child 7 years ago that was my exact same goal. It had taken me 3 years to get pregnant, I had a miscarriage along the way, and was finally pregnant after my 3rd round of in vitro. I didn't even go to birthing class. I really had no expectations around the birth, just wanted a healthy baby. I had a…

Me too, I've got a 7 year old and a 3 month old and I've done that schlep out to the minivan to change the baby and yeah it sucks but I also acknowledge that the world doesn't revolve around me and my kids. As Elaine would say "we're living in a society here!"

I lived close to where this crash happened and the thing that stuck with me was the fact that there were lap infants (2 I believe) whose parents survived the crash and they did not. The flight attendants were very vocal after the crash and pleading with the FAA to no longer allow this practice. The FAA concedes that…

When I had my first kid, I actually read a lot of waste industry research on this because I was curious. Turns out pretty much anything in a landfill sits forever, landfills do not provide the type of environment conducive for things (including biodegradable items) to degrade. Cloth diapering doesn't have a hugely…
