Firstly: yay! Cute story, happy couple, free food. What's not to love?

Yeah, you can't beat the convenience of just whipping out a boob. No bottles to wash! No mixing or warming! Just BOOM, done. But I have been jealous of my formula feeding friends, who could get dressed without thinking about boob access, drink whenever, and not worry about engorgement/leakage when you get

For the collar, I bought a cheap pair of lacy boy-shorts from the Walmart lingerie department, cut them in a collar-shape, and pinned it to my robe. It was all I could do that night to refrain from announcing loudly that I had panties around my neck.

She might have paid for the gown outright. I had to, then a few years later I turned it into a Judge Judy costume.

Aw, don't let the horror stories deter you if you ever feel like trying. Once I got past the first couple of weeks (and I won't like, it did hurt), breastfeeding and pumping was really easy for me. I even left the baby on a week-long business trip when he was two months old and pumped exclusively for that time, and

Jesus.

Sorry you're getting all this grilled cheese aggro. While I do prefer the classic butter-in-pan recipe, I have also made toast and then microwaved the cheese to melt it on the regular. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Did you dive for it? I was just listening to the DJs on the radio talking about this guy who flushed a phone and tried to save it. Firefighters had to come and bust him out of the toilet, he had his arm so far down the pipes.

Ha! In that case, I think he got what he deserves.

One day, some poor woman's husband is going to fish that out of the garbage disposal or something. I guarantee your sports bra did not venture far. (Also, HA!)

I was raised to be terrified of flushing tampons, let alone pads, so that this is a problem is a huge WTF to me. The boxcutters, though? There's a story there.

Because if they weren't flushable, no one would buy them.

Are you secretly me? I have both the diaper sprayer and the flannel wipes. Except, I just keep a spray bottle of straight water to spray the dry wipes, or on occasion, directly on a poopy butt if it looks like a doozy. I've never tried the sprayer as a bidet, though. Is there a way to change the pressure?

I wanted to share this for the anti-tampon-flushing post, but there were too many comments and I didn't think it would be seen. But here goes my grossest story:

I know it's too late for you, but if others thinking about cloth diapers see this: Diaper sprayers! It attaches to your toilets and sprays off ALL THE POOP! And the package said that it can double as a bidet, though I would want to change the water pressure from "Firehose" to "Gentle Ass Shower" before I did that.

Good luck! I got pregnant pretty much immediately, so you're right to be ready for it! My son just turned one, and as a teacher I get to experience both being a stay-at-home mom during breaks and a working mom during the school year. I prefer to work. I mean, I love spending time with baby, but once you get used

BudgetBytes.com! It's not a vegetarian site, but because it's focused on cheaper eats there are TONS of vegetarian options, including lots of tasty Asian and Indian recipes that you can replicate without buying a bunch of hard-to-find items. My husband and I eat vegetarian 4-5 times a week for budget reasons, and I

Sounds yummy! My husband made a Bolognese sauce like how his Italian grandma used to make, and we had it over rigatoni with a Caesar salad on the side. Tomorrow night: homemade sausage & onion pizza!

Congrats! I tested into the gifted program at my school in the fourth grade. I knew what the minimum IQ was, thanks to a chatty classmate, but my mom never told me what MY score was. I think that helped. After that initial test, nothing about it was ever mentioned again. Then a few years later, I enrolled in a

I've been using Neutrogena's UltraSheer Liquid Sunscreen. It's very lightweight, and hasn't made me break out. I just wish it came in a lower SPF. Numbers greater than 30 burn my eyes!
