Want hands-free pumping but don't want to cut a sports bra?! Get two elastic bands, loop them together to make a figure 8 sorta thing, then attach one side to the front hook of your nursing bra and the other around the trumpet-y part of the breastpump. Voila!

The reason you buy "special" bags is because they are guaranteed to be sanitary, they have thicker material so the bag doesn't rip as easily, and they have measurements on the plastic so you know how much is in there.

I guess if these tips work for someone, great! I am laughing at the idea of fitting into an old sports bra or a shirt with buttons/cowl neck/etc. that I owned before. I had to buy a bunch of new stuff once my son was born, so it made total sense to get a few things that would make nursing easier. Since I was doing it

You can pry my nursing tanks from my cold dead hands.

Nursing bras have been money well-spent for my wife. She's been able to use them through three kids now, and I'm not sure that buying a sports bra for her new size and taking that time and effort to convert it would have been worth whatever minimal price savings (particularly amortized over the span of those three

Wonderful! it's a hit here in the UK.

Or we can just stick with Mexican-Kenyan as that is how she identifies and call it a day.

I think spenguin is pointing out that "mixed" tends to imply ethnicity not culture. She clearly identifies as both Mexican and Kenyan but her ethnicity is Kenyan.

Eh. Dual citizenship is a thing. I was born in England and lived there for 4 years while my parents were working, then we moved back to Trinidad and I grew up there. I claim Trinidad because it's home (but also because England's citizenship rules are odd) but I would gladly claim both if I could. Being multi-cultural

Now playing

Well, she was being backed up by the Best Band in Late Night™.

Roots! My favorite versions of songs are always if Roots covers them with the artist! This is so amazing! They are SO talented, and she gets right in the groove with them! Brilliance!

Thanks, Burt!! Music done that well brings a happy tear to an old Ogre's eye.

I maintain that these songs played by kindergarden instruments are really just proof at how good of musicians The Roots really are. Anyone who can get a great rendition of a song out of a 3 year old's xylophone and a kazoo deserves major props.

yah, I actually really liked it this year... minus a couple of snafu's there were some golden moments! Pharrell's Happy was great, and the Pizza and selfie jokes I thought were cute.

No, but seriously what is going on with Jaden Smith? Too much Xenu?

Read it at Barnes & Noble (do they still have those?) at your lunch hour, and spill lots of coffee on it

I'm with you. There's nothing wrong with disliking the Oscars. But if you "have to watch them for work," you could at least throw some kind of effort into it outside the standard "they're boring! They suck! It's the elitist of the elite being elite!" Okay, agreed. So tell me something new about it. Just as the Oscars

Yeah, that one is def the worst one. Not funny. Completely racist.

Maybe she lost the Gawker staff Oscar pool.
