I will forever sing the praises of that calculator. I kept putting my wide, shallow breasts into 34/36 B cups and *hating* the strange gaping, weird dimpling, unnatural profiles that resulted.  Stumbled onto A Bra That Fits, and now my 32 DD (!!!) plunge bras suit me perfectly.

r/abrathatfits is SO informative. I’m one of those “wide but shallow” people who didn’t even know that was a thing until I’d been an adult with boobs for wayyyyy too long.

Nah. Formula’s not worse, especially if the alternative is...not enough food!

Good for you for doing what your baby needed! I had a friend whose wife breastfed their kids for 1+ year each, and was of the opinion that “everybody should do it.” I pointed out that, even putting other barriers aside (time/place to pump, cost of supplies, etc), not everyone physically *can* breastfeed, and this dude…

So I was trying to find that Jagged Edge “Let’s Get Married” song, and came across Meet Me @ the Altar and I can’t get enough. Same vibes—so fun!

Yeah. This article (kinda) serves its purpose—be able to describe what you do without falling back on a title that can be misinterpreted. BUT. Titles absolutely do matter, especially in certain sectors where there’s a rank structure/hierarchy to be followed (not just for “following orders,” but even for things like…

You’re absolutely in good company! Just yesterday my kid froze in place in the kitchen after dinner and said “wait, I didn’t get to do all my video game time today!” I told him that I was proud of him for having such a fun day at school (in person, finally!) and getting so much fun outside time on his bike, etc. that…

Contrary to her practice of commenting on nearly every aspect of my own life, my mother was refreshingly subdued when it came to offering parenting advice. One thing she did say was that, just like kids need to learn to walk, and feed themselves with a spoon, and hold a crayon, sometimes they need to learn how to…

Oh yeah, this is a good one. And I agree, it can be SO hard to follow through on—especially if the consequence means I’ve lost one of my “tools” (like the screen time I use to get a few moments of peace and quiet for myself...).

And you know what?  I would have respected (a little) an admission of mistake, miscalculation, whatever.  But trying to pawn it off on his kids first, then making it sound like he figured out on his own that it would be better if he wasn’t nice and comfy in Cancun (as opposed to only making that decision after the…

OH MY GOD. The first time I heard my kids doing this I thought it was adorable, something cute they were doing together—they were setting goals, making plans for their next “episode,” etc.

“She was looking for a protector. Any protector.”

I worked with a woman who seemed very sweet, but wholly unqualified for her job. She’d receive constructive feedback, nod sweetly, and go back to doing things the wrong way like no conversation had ever happened. She was big on “making connections” between people, “creating opportunities” where she thought she saw…

I have been all in on Travis Barker since forever.  Good for her!

YUUUUUUUP.

Holy shit. That just made me think that this guy is probably the kind of guy who thinks he HAS to know how to do everything himself. That asking for help, collaborating, or working with a team to solve a problem is admitting some sort of weakness. I hate those people.

I was at YMCA camps for years—as a camper and as a counselor. I never saw anything “inappropriate” (i.e. between counselors and campers, or between management/directors and counselors), but counselor-counselor relations were like an 80s horror movie setup on steroids.  As soon as anyone could get a spare minute alone,…

I came across an article where he responded to questions about his elaborate game day outfits with something along the lines of 1) it’s part of his game preparation and something he just enjoys doing, and 2) fashion is a fun way for him to express his creativity and he feels like he’s setting a bit of an example for…

The study of household efficiency is FASCINATING to me. I love seeing how an environment (layout, storage solutions, materials) can be constructed to maximize the efficiency of the humans’ activities both individually and end-to-end (like for a kitchen: cooking [further broken down into retrieving, measuring,…

I’ve worked out at home due to necessity for a while (single parent + morning workout-er), and I’ve appreciated the increase I’ve noticed in exercise modifications/options listed in the online workout routines I follow. Acknowledging that not all of their “followers” will have the full complement of gym equipment…
