So all three of my incredibly bizarre crushes DIED in the last seven days. Bowie, Rickman, and fox Robin Hood. I can't even deal with this right now. So much sadness.

It is not. Most households can’t afford that.

I LOVE how people just casually suggest that working from home is equivalent to maternity leave, like it’s so easy to work while caring for a newborn. The first three months with my second born were so intense that taking a shower felt like a major accomplishment.

I’m a picker, too. I pick ALL day. All day. It’s totally a stress-relieving activity, which is not the right way to deal with stress. It leaves my skin a mess. I pick at things that don’t really even exist, until there is something that crops up. It’s a horrible habit, and I don’t know how to stop it.

She needs to raise awareness for African wildlife next!

A good rule of thumb: if it makes parents’ lives easier, it is good. If it “enriches” baby’s development, it is probably BS.

I waited until I was a bit older to have kids (I had mine at 33 and 36).

At 38 pulling an all nighter with the kids when they’re sick then…
