I love O Magazine (yeah, I know, but it’s actually great if you want something beyond the typical sex/fashion/beauty mags), but Oprah was talking about her recommitment to Weight Watchers in the last issue, and then I read that she bought a stake in the company. Unbelievable. Did she think no one would notice? I’m…

I also despise Elf on a Shelf (creepy) and don’t get the obsession with Disneyland/world/empire, but...what’s your beef with Pinterest? I’m so curious! I hate the aspirational decorative cupcake stuff, but it’s great for organizing recipes and planning personal events.

I quit watching after the episode where Danny “forbid” Mindy from leaving the house with the baby (because there are germs outside so Mindy can never go outside ever again) and she gets bored and has to sneak out. ~Hijinks ensue~ Danny catches her and gets mad, etc. It was so terrible, and so untrue to the characters,…

I stared at the picture for a full minute (before reading the headline), trying to figure out why Prince Harry was photoshopped on a beach with Demi Moore.

(or Saint Jeff Goldblum, I hope)

Not an infectious disease (?), but I’m morbidly obsessed with necrotizing fasciitis, and the horrible, strange ways people get it.

It’s real! Babies can sense your nervousness, so if you are holding them and feel scared or uncertain, they will cry because they don’t feel safe. Confidence is everything with babies.

My dog’s vet won my eternal loyalty when she kissed him on the top of his head at the end of his first visit. Sounds silly, but I was a nervous new dog owner and it made me feel better to know that she liked him.

The patriarchy gets you every time!

You rang?

1 million percent correct. You articulated this so well. And the flipside is that moms who aren’t self-immolating martyrs (much healthier, imo) are pushed into a weird place of having to jokingly-but-not-really label themselves “bad mom” for doing normal human activities that don’t relate directly to childcare,…

As a fellow bargain-hunting Jew, I’m shepping nachas. ;-)

I love your dedication to the TJ Maxx clearance rack; it spans across the ages (really just the multiple yoga pants-related posts today, but still).

what. also, why.

Thank you for pointing this out - if unmedicated vaginal birth is the only “natural” birth, what does that make other births? Unnatural? It’s just more BS mom-shaming that makes women feel like crap. A mom friend of mine once said, “If the baby comes out of your body, it’s a natural birth,” and I’ve always liked that…

I’ve used it several times and have been happy! The prices have gone up a lot since my first rental a few years ago, but I just wait for a 20% off coupon or other promotion. It’s great for fancy or special events.

I saw someone wearing a “Take Me To Paris” shirt yesterday, and I winced. Not such a cute, fun reference right now.

Thank you notes! Why are men incapable? I wrote all of my 150+ thank you notes - including to our mutual friends - within a month of the wedding. My husband’s relatives still have not received their thank yous several years later. He had under 10 people on his list. It really bothers me, but I refused to do it for him…

Have not seen Spectre yet but I NEED THIS HAT

I don’t get Demi Lovato’s 2nd tweet - what was wrong with her wording?
