Thank you. :)

Wait, what? Why the fuck don't adoptive/foster/surrogacy parents get equal time off to moms who gave birth? Yeah, birth is hard, but most moms have physically recovered in eight weeks. The 16 weeks off is because BABIES need caring for, not because birthing magically means you need extra time that an adoptive parent…

OMG. I can't believe I said the wrong name. Can I blame it on being two days postpartum at the time?

Just FYI, iron-on vinyl, plus a vinyl cutter (like the Silhouette Cameo...don't buy a Cricket, never buy ProvoCraft because they are EVIL) makes for the best damn custom t-shirts ever. Super easy! http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/t-shirt-vinyl-…

The TARDIS blend sounds DELICIOUS. And no, I'm not just saying that because I'm embarrassingly obsessed with all things Who...

No, I think she's from the Sanchez campaign team.

Seriously?! Tell us you have some sort of awesome story about getting to meet cast members, puh-leeeeeze! :D

Seriously! I was stoked to see another ginger (I'm a redhead). And I was even MORE thrilled to see a curly girl, because my 4yo has curly hair and it made me realize NONE of the princesses thus far have curls.

AND the mom is neither evil nor dead!

I lol'd.

Kids are incredibly gullible. They tend to trust their mums to a fault. Fortunately, most parents aren't evil shits who tell their kids they're dying. The biggest lie I tell my kid is the whole Santa thing, and I think that's true for most parents.

Merida is awesome. I adore the movie Brave. It has two strong, female role models who show how to move past mistakes, learn to cooperate/listen, and illustrate the power of love in a positive mother/daughter relationship. It also passes the Bechdel test (Eleanor, Merida, Maudie = 3 women, with names, who talk to each…

Seriously. Now I'm all "hmmmm...I wonder how much a juicer costs..."

That too. :)

"Interesting side note, however: Aspointed out by Katie McDonough over at Salon, the president didn't say the word "abortion" once."

You should also poll people on what their patronus would be!

Looks fine to me. I'd rather MiniDork be knowledgeable and unembarrassed about sexual matters so that she and I can comfortably talk about making the right decisions for her regarding who/when/how. It's much easier to talk to young kids about the mechanics of where babies come from than it is to talk to a kid in…

I think the biggest factor is genetics. But with twins it is likely you will never go back to pre-baby "normal."

It's said that using a wrap/corset (like The Belly Bandit) helps the skin and innards come back together after pregnancy. So weight loss, nah, reshaping, maybe. I'm due any day and have one to try, so maybe I'll have to post on GroupThink with my results. I never tried it with my first baby. I also have a hip…

Ever pregnancy is different...not just every woman is different, but every pregnancy, even multiple pregnancies for the same lady, can be completely different.
