My grandmother came from a giant Irish family, fourteen kids in all. Only three made it to adulthood because of measles, polio or influenza.

Can we talk about the GORGEOUS little ring you're wearing? Pretty please? Thanks for the nail tips - will probably do this tonight after I chisel off all the old congealed glitter- but that ring is GORGEOUS and lovely and where can I get one?!

Sounds like it's time for...

April 3, 2022...

Still fabulous!

Yeah, this is totally about shaming and not the BF being a monster or the mother being a coward.

Oh my gosh I spent a FORTUNE in Athleta the last time I was in the States (September). A fortune, I tell you, and very well spent. Athleta is genuinely fantastic. Fantastic.

I love Athleta. They have great running capris and their yoga tank tops are too expensive but I imagine buying them in every color - as I would if they weren't so expensive. But I do shell out for their pants. And really good quality basic mix and match bathing suits. I would shop there more if they ran more frequent…

Same. I get the "you are SO tan what is your secret?" "Being birthed from a brown lady" is usually my response.

People that hate dealing with return policies do.

I should have clarified - I buy all of my Athleta clothes on sale. I have a store close so I can try things on it needed, but then I wait for them to go on sale on line before purchasing (the in store sale racks are normally lacking but their online sale section is legit). I also work from home and while I don't want…

Yes, me. I'm a full on Athleta whore, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I'm a total slob and I feel like there clothes make me feel as "pulled together" as one can look while still wearing elasticized waist pants.

Yeah, I never found anything I liked on PL that wasn't already on Zappos — usually in more color options, for a lower price, and with faster shipping. Also PL's nav suuuuuucked.

It's ok, In 2 years, she'll have a Mommy blog about her snowflake child who can't process the complex sugars in refined carbohydrates and is allergic to the colour red.

This woman is the type of mother that makes me hate mothers.

Miss South Africa and Miss India killed it!

If Canada doesn't win this category, the judges are fools. I'm sure they are regardless, but Canada must win this.

i feel like i need to rep miss India's costume

I was very romantic and threw mine into the sea :)
