Yeah, except that unlike Breaking Bad, this show is about and marketed to teenagers.

Well I can’t speak for PDAvenger’s wife, but as someone in the mental health field who works with teenagers, I would say the “better direction” would have been to not show it at all. Because maybe you as an adult  can see that the purpose was to “take the romanticism” out of it, but that is not the same conclusion a…

THIS. I am SO sick of everyone claiming that these shooters were “bullied.” First of all, the term “bullying” is thrown around WAAAY too easily and is used as an excuse for everything and it diminishes the experiences of the kids who actually ARE bullied. Secondly, using this as an excuse for a shooting is victim…

Unless you’re my brother (which I doubt because I can’t imagine he reads anything other than sports articles), it’s possible there are TWO Ravolta-hating moms out there. Or maybe there are MORE and it’s a whole movement! 

Too bad for them, the kid was following all of the Trumps on Instagram, so....

Seriously, the guy should be able to afford a wig that doesn’t get mange. And don’t even get me started on the neck beard. Ick.

Definitely continue with therapy- any big life changes/transitions are stressful, even when they are good things, so it helps to have a professional who can work with you to sort it all out. But being in a major city helps because there will be a ton of other people your age and lots of activities to try. And you will…

Oh then you will be fine with meeting new people. You will have lots of new teacher colleagues to hang with!

What are you doing after you graduate? Job? Grad school?

This one!

So I work in a high school, and right now our seniors are all freaking out about high school being “the best time of your life” and being almost over, and after I finish laughing, I tell them that is absolutely NOT true. Nobody remembers or cares about high school. And I will tell you, that is also very true about…

Not really a “Craft” per se, but we made over an old pop up camper last summer and this week our work was featured on the Pop Up Princess blog, which I’m pretty dang excited about.

Whelp...lots of changes in Fashion Don’t world this week! Last Friday husband accepted a new job, Sunday morning we discovered I’m pregnant. At 38. Husband is 40. We didn’t think it was even possible, given that it took 3 years, a miscarriage, and a lot of useless fertility treatments to get our now 2 year old. So now…

I had the same question. I’m white and from the midwest (ground zero for weird, gross foods) and I have NEVER seen raisins in potato salad. That’s just madness.

I flushed a miscarriage. I went to my first prenatal appointment at 9 weeks, found out there was no longer a heartbeat, and was given misoprostal to induce labor (because let’s be honest, that’s what it is) at home. It was incredibly painful, physically and emotionally. And even that early, there is a LOT of blood and…

I had no idea they were married. I only know him from that show Life in Pieces.

Twitter? Seems like companies respond much more quickly when stuff like this hits social media.

Huh. He sounds a lot like my (soon-to-be-former) administrator. You, on the other hand, sound cool. And we’re hiring! Care to relocate?

Exactly. It’s not like SHS is “uniting” for women when she gets up there and continues to make excuses for that giant orange blob of misogyny.

The irony here is that the research shows that when you have heterogeneous groups of students (meaning lower-performing and higher-performing), ALL students are more successful academically. Meaning that these parents all have their J Crew panties in a bunch over the “poor” kids coming in, when in reality it will…
