My mom did the same. We were blessed with Viking warrior shoulders, so the damn things just looked ridiculous on her. She used to cut them out, pull out the filling, then stuff them with cedar chips. Voila! Instant sachet. Mom basically invented Pinterest.

"I'd like to say "thank you" to my mom for telling me I had to be quiet while we watched the news, just so she could yell at the TV every time Ronald Reagan came on. I love you, beautiful lady."

GO BUCS!

I was lucky enough that my old job gave me $ in an FSA for medical expenses, and I used part of that one year to get some really great prescription sunglasses. Now I can't go back; I'm in love with them. I don't need glasses normally (unless I am super tired) but those RX Ray Bans are the bomb. I will just have to…

I have blue eyes as well (medium to dark) but I totally feel you. Also, going outside w/o sunglasses is basically impossible for us light-eyed folk. I always marvel at how my brown eyed husband can just, like, WALK AROUND outdoors w/o shades on. I have back up sunglasses all over the place in case I mislay my faves!

Thank you! He's even been made into a mascot... behold!

Pshaw. We've has DJ Kitty holding down the 1s & 2s for YEARS here in Tampa Bay at the Rays games. Behold:

effing up loose/lose is just unforgivable. Get your shit together, Renee.

YOU STOP YOUR DEFAMATION OF DRIED APRICOTS RIGHT NOW! Dried apricots are amazing and have nothing to do with this terrible excuse for a human being.

this is impressive, but the thing of paramount importance is: WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE? Every time I see a fancy-ass cake like this I am unmoved until it's proven delicious. If it ain't tasty, that's a damn sad waste of cake potential.

Anyone else think if the comeuppance that is coming & how this scene needlessly complicated it now?

EWWW times infinity for that last thing. Times infinity! So glad you were there to stand up for him. People who write off female sex offenders who prey on middle school and high school boys INFURIATE me. The young men are damaged so deeply by inappropriate contact. Also, I taught high school for a long time, and I…

I agree, but there is some crossover. I'm sure Daddy will never want to think "daughter" and "penis" in the same sentence. (Like I'm sure they won't ever want to hear "Mom" and "sex" in the same sentence. We've actually joked we'd be thrilled if they were both lesbians, as we'd probably still get grandchildren. (I…

She would have been an AWFUL Agent Hill. Epically bad. Thank heavens that bullet was dodged!

My life-saving find that easily (and comfortably!) fixes the "this _______ shows too much boob" problem:

Honestly, if this were NOT basically the most powerful woman in the world, if this were a "normal" like me, I could KIND OF see having the discussion. There is no question that I DEEPLY NEEDED my mother after both births, both for moral support and childcare. Some people really only have grandmothers for childcare, so…

Listen: I'm as feminist as they come, and my husband is a feminist as a guy can be. We also have 2 daughters. We've heard all the jokes about getting a shotgun when they are teenagers. I'll be honest with you, if my husband DIDN'T think this way a bit I would wonder. The last thing he would EVER want to do is rob them…

to be fair, here in FL the "I've got a bathing suit on, lemme just throw a big t shirt over it & I'm good" look is pretty common in grocery stores or Target/ Walmart, especially ones near the beach. I've never rocked it myself, but I see it all the time.

OMG: Valentine's Day and Easter are like second and third Christmas now for some kids. We really try to restrain the madness at my house, but it is epidemic! Factor in how the ENTIRE WORLD seems determined to undermine my "super limited sugar" stance, and you can understand how more and more mommies are hitting the…
