This seven year old girl knows the difference between there, their and they’re?!

I think he should have been found not guilty, but I’m quite confident he either did it or knows exactly what transpired.

*high five*

It can become OCD, and hoarding, but for most of us it’s not. I also seldom use food coupons because they’re often processed stuff, but the non-perishables I save money on allows me to expand my food budget.

Her grandmother’s name was Joan. I guess they could have explained the significance in the name choice, but I think Joan (or Joanie) is cute.

Not a bad idea actually, for someone who feels blue in the winter or deals with mild seasonal affective disorder. I always avoided tanning, but I can see how lathering up with a good amount of sunscreen and spending 9-10 minutes in a booth for a couple times in the dead of winter can be relaxing.

Brazil. We don’t have Ritter Sport but we have these, and they are pretty good. I only found a photo of 4 flavors but in reality they have like a dozen.

the rum raisin one!

Every year I post a “this is not a date rape song” here and on Facebook. Having parents who married in the 40’s and used this slang often, it’s not a song that you can apply today’s slang to. This song is exactly as interpreted in the Twitter verse. Give it a rest already!

I think it’s worth it, but I’m a working mom of one three-year-old, so I still have a life outside my kid and she’s at a pretty adorable age. I miss some parts of my pre-kid life (easy travel, regular happy hours and gym time), but she adds so much joy to my life, I wouldn’t go back. Pregnancy sucks (I’m 10 weeks with…

Incredibly so! The true cost of clothing, where the cotton/wool/silk is bought from a farmer at a fair price, the weavers/seamstresses earn fair wages, and the retailer sells them at a reasonable margin... is quite high. Everything else, like Primark, is an inferior product.

Also depends on your scalp. If it’s very dry, you have totally, totally different needs from a human oil factory like me. And someone who falls somewhere in between has yet other needs...

It’s more of a commentary on the narcissism of many who post on Instagram. Very few great artists use(d) themselves as the sole subject of their work. Instagram promotes exhibitionism at the expense of intimacy: how many special moments are now paused so that someone can get a pic to post of it? Sorry, the thesis of…

I really don’t see much room for commentary on women’s success here, though, accidental or otherwise. It’s more about how social media and presenting an idealized image of our lives has become so all-consuming.

I always forget about Nordstrom Rack!

And lace. And crochet. Crochet fucking everything.

I LOVE the Merlin. We were using swaddle sacks but when she started rolling she would just roll to the edge of the crib and bang herself awake or get her little legs stuck. The Merlin gave us another few months of blissful slumber, oh how I miss that. Now she’s awake every 2-3 hours.

Yeah, my sister always says her kids were overcooked - one was 10lbs, the other was 11lbs. Both were like a week late.

I have been known to tell my doula clients they bake lovely babies.

That’s good to know, as I'm planning to nurse :)
