Eh, his sexuality is HIS own. Who am I to say how he should feel or to whom he should be attracted. Shit, rock your muumuus, be as queeny, or butch, or femme, or fierce, or whatever. Love who you want; fuck who you want. Choices, everyone, it's pretty great!

Ladies, ALWAYS keep a job. Even if you are only working the most minimal number of hours...10-15 hours a week. Even if you are paying someone the same amount to work your children while you are away. Even if you fucking hate your job....

Mariah's closet is literally my mother's dream for me. We've been talking about that episode of Cribs since it aired. So many cute ass shoes. So few opportunities to be completely, over the tippity top glammed up.

Maybe he doesn't know what words mean. Sometimes my five year old tries to make arguments using words that pop up in our "word of the day" app. Nice try, but...

It's the hair...

I just started watching True Blood, and I don't know how I missed it up until now. Alex Skarsgard is a tall glass of phwoar. Every time he walks on screen, it's like Bell Biv DeVoe's Poison starts playing in my head.

Yogurt should be simple and fat-plus. Reduce your calories somewhere else. I also think Chobani and Oikos taste terrible. Fage, Seven Stars, and Brown Cow (w/ the cream top) are the bestest. Plain, with a little honey, fresh peaches and berries, toasted pecans, and a light dusting of cinnamon. Yum.

She dyes her hair brown now and straightens all the curls away. It's sad actually.

Your experience is really similar too mine. My siblings and I used to have a running joke where we would tell people we were from a different country each week.

Oh man...THIS all day. My kid is biracial—big curly red hair. (I'm black and my ex is glow in the dark white.) I have a few examples of crazy shit people have said to us:

What is Tyson Beckford up to these days? That would be a sold out show!

I'm an atheist, and sometimes I really wish that I could believe in religion/spirituality. I think there is something really beautiful about the sense of community that you get with a synagogue or a church. I used to work for a kosher catering company, and more times than not, I would find myself backstage with a…

Sorry I missed that part, but it's still a very bad idea.

Hi...um, that's a really bad idea. It sounds like a Nat Geo style, colonialist, sexually exploitative PR disaster . It's terribly offensive. As a black person myself, if I saw something like what your father is suggesting, I would boycott the company or the artist. I might plaster it on the interwebs so that other…

This!!! My little Zip Zap would only sleep if in a Moby or Ergo carrier and wanted to be held all the time. I wish I could have put him down. He always had a perfectly round little (emergency) c-section head. He's super cuddly as a 5 year old too.

Boo, what happened to kismet?

Eh, just figure out how to make your own damn pancake and top with fruit. My five year old is a basically a vegetarian so he gets a lot a special pancakes made with greek yogurt and garbanzo bean flour (white flour too). He won't eat syrup or honey, so just a fruit topping of fresh peaches or whatever. Tons o protein…

I think I was the same age when I found out not being blond haired and blue eyed really meant something. Not to say that it's a magically cake walk if you are, but you totally feel it when someone tells you you're cute...for a brown girl.

I used to think I was terribly unattractive...sad, cave troll ugly. I recently realized that I just have a magically ability to sneeze, eye twitch, or fall over as when somebody says "cheese". It's the reason I look so different in candid shots vs staged fiascos. I used to have a really strict veto policy which now…

I would highly recommend The Hello, Goodbye Window and Sourpuss and Sweetie Pie by Norman Juster and Chris Raschka. These books tell a very sweet story about a girl spending quality time with her grandparents. All Juster books should be required reading anyway. They should just send a copy of The Phantom Tollbooth…
