Hey, Kristen. Sloths, man. Awesome.

*BARF* That is all.

This is why I don't buy tops for my daughter there. Their pants actually fit her, so... Old Navy, Target, and Walmart are essentially the only places I shop for my 3 kids. Walmart has some questionable things, but they no longer carry the ridiculously age-inappropriate Mary Kate and Ashley line. But, my mom... She…

Of course Bieber ripped off his shirt. He just wanted his tummy scratched.

West Side Story and Phantom

So my husband and son survived their first backpacking adventure! No bear, wolverine, or squirrel attacks. It was a success!

Don't feel bad. He shouldn't have pressured you for a hug. Giving you advice doesn't him some kind of right to physical contact with you. He should have backed off when you hesitated. That said, I completely understand why you allowed it. It's such an awkward situation. Sorry you got the icks. Maybe just a quick…

Maggie Smith is a beast! Love it!

Apparently I am, too, because I just read apple juice and went "Ewwwwwwwww".

Wishing you the best of health. As far as breast-feeding, all 3 of my kids were formula fed. They are each above average in their development. But most importantly, they are happy, healthy, and loved. Isn't that the most important thing? Good luck to you :)

I'm so glad lol that he has such a good sense of humor lol! The thought of someone talking like that, laughs randomly punctuating their speech, is actually hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

Lol! Great story. Thankfully, this is definitely not elk country. But squirrels, man... They are devil spawn, or I could just be pissed that they ate every pear on our only pear tree. Grrr...

That's okay. Hubby has his knife ;)

If I'm invited, some peach cobbler with coffee sounds awesome! I'll even bring a plate of chocolate chip cookies that I just took out of the oven :)

Oh, my husband totally knows his shit, and the national forest they went to is only around 20-30 miles away. But there is no phone signal. And BEARS! I forgot about the bears! Going to open a bottle of wine now...

I plan on lurking on Jez tonight. My husband and 9-year old son went back-packing, and I'm a nervous wreck. Reading about your weekend plans, what you're having for dinner, or your latest OKC troubles will keep my mind occupied. So, thanks for that.

Dude, this post! I just keeled over myself. Your daughter said it better than any of us stuffy grown-ups. YOU are her best mommy. In that same article, I was (generously) commended for my self-awareness as a parent when my depression is detrimental to my kids. You have that self-awareness, as well. That, coupled with…

May all of the Kardashians go into hiding and STAY there. Wishful thinking I know.

Thank you!

So sorry, I don't. I found it through a link on The Hairpin. I think it was in NY Times?
