I totally agree. I love holidays- all holidays! Halloween is BIG business around here. And although I am an anti-religion athiest I’m certainly not going to take the magic and joy out of the holidays because other people suck!

It’s such a hard topic to bring up with your kid when family is involved! I have no problem discussing almost anything with my daughter, but the emotions just run far, far too high for this for me to tackle right now.

It’s so strange because he is such a smart, successful person but he is absolutely nonsensical when it comes to religion. He’s also very manipulative and the king of gas lighting so I suppose I’m not surprise. Those are some very, very good points you laid out- especially the fact that others are encouraged to…

Thank you! I’m not sure I like them as much as the gingerbread zombies we made for Christmas haha!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! Ever adult I’ve ever met who was raised as an athiest is pretty rad and it makes me feel better about how I live since I have that innate religious guilt inside me. Candy, presents, feasts, and family are all awesome which is why I have no problem doing them. I…

Exactly! At Thanksgiving last year he said something about needing to pray/ “give thanks to god” since that is the “reason for thanksgiving.” When my little brother and I were like, uh Thanksgiving is a secular holiday my dad said “that is the most retarded thing I’ve ever heard before.” So yeah he’s a real peach.

I totally agree with you. However my in-laws are evangelicals and if my daughter ever said anything to them about Jesus just being a story- which I absolutely think she’d be able to ubderstand- it’d cause WWIII in my marriage. I think that’s a talk I’ll have with her when she’s old enough to know not to say anything…

He absolutely does. We didn’t spend Christmas day with them and this year we’re skipping easter too. It’s only hurting him that he won’t get to enjoy these holidays with his grandchild.

I LOVE Dipbrow! Nothing nothing nothing else compares to it, including all of the other pencils and powders I’ve tried- and I’ve tried all of the Anastasia pencils! I have blonde, caramel, and soft brown that I *try* to blend into brows that don’t look like I’ve sharpied them on- but I definitely have to keep…

I haven’t smelled that Tom Ford scent yet, but so far I haven’t smelled any Tom Ford perfumes that I haven’t liked. They FINALLY released rollerballs at Sephora so I bought Black Orchid, Velvet Orchid, and Noir and I’ve been wearing them every day. Noir especially smells so amazing!

Those are gorgeous! It decided to blizzard out here in Colorado so I’ve been inside all weekend anxiously waiting for the nice spring weather to arrive!

Any parent Jezzies out there that aren’t Christian but celebrate Christian holidays with their kids?

I’m an Atheist, and am pretty anti-religion to boot. However, I don’t see any issues with celebrating Santa Christmas and Easter Bunny Easter with my toddler (she’s 4 right now.) We haven’t done any Easter celebrations…

I love the insanity that is Dance Moms. It’s the perfect blend of trashy, scripted drama and actually talented and watchable talent (the girls dancing.) I’m pretty sure the most fucked up part of Bryn’s Black Dahlia dance was when Gianna was like “here let me google imagine some pictures of her for you.” I was sitting…

I don’t have an iPhone but I’d definitely submit a sample for this study. I had horrific PPD but I know that my mom didn’t.

I had severe PPD and my daughter had severe colic. For the first four months of her life I never once saw her awake and not screaming. If she was awake, she was screaming. She slept really well though and we also bed shared and sleep nursed which helped a lot. However I definitely don’t think my PPD would have been as…

Has Gawker written about the judgement yet?

Oh girl I feel you so hard right now. I had the yeast infection from hell last month and I got so desperate I dumped out an (unused) enema bottle and filled it with diluted ACV to douche with. And then I soaked a rag in ACV and put it on my outer bits. It was SO PAINFUL but I was desperate! I ordered some boric acid…

I’m in late to the thread but I wanted to put this out there: Does anyone have a recommendation for a vanity mirror with good lighting? I’m going to be redoing my bedroom in a few months and I already bought a new vanity, and I decided that instead of just the regular mirror on the wall I’d like a fancy lit mirror.…

Oh... oh my god. Are you me? Because those are exactly the thought I have been having lately. I feel like my family’s personal secretary and that my husband doesn’t put any effort into learning the details of OUR life himself. He was upset with me that I didn’t give him the exact time for our daughters gymnastics mock…

I mean, she’s a very recognizable person too. I’m sure Jimmy Kimmel had about 1 second of surprise when he saw her at the end of the aisle, and then that was it. Wouldn’t it have been much funnier to find a woman of the same stature and have her wear a veil over her face so that the real surprise was at the alter? I’m…
