I frequently take a mid-week day off to do any bricks and mortar Xmas shopping I need to do. Make a good list, do it all in one day.

This. Eat your dark leafy greens, get a little sun, and call it a day.

It looks like Spiderman seems to have snagged some of that Kryptonian fabric that Henry Cavill sported in Man of Steel.

The basic Wacoals are in the $50 range. I think I've picked up greniers for that much. At the moment, I'm still stuck on Bravado nursing bras (tho I'm done nursing). Find a Nordstroms or a boutique that will fit you. I can't shop at VC because I'm DD+ these days, but compared to the $60 bras I buy at boutiques, VC…

Good thing there isn't a baby in that picture, or that would be an obscene breastfeeding image. I'm looking at you, Facebook.

It'll go great with your Girly Go Garter. http://girlygogarter.com/ (on SheSteals today)

I'm not blase about poop, but pee... meh. Pee is not so bad.

I am so ready for breast cancer awareness month to be over.

I love Grumpy cat. I delight to see FB photos of her everyday.

My mom had the pelvic floor surgery in her 60s. It was a bladder prolapse. She's doing well now in her late 70s. She has knee and back problems but that is unrelated. She did have a difficult recovery tho.

I disagree with baby monitor. Off the shelf baby monitors are fairly inexpensive (for sound only anyway), easy to use, and easy to give to the baby sitter. Sure you could rig up something that uses an old smartphone (if you have one). If you set up something that streams to your phone or your computer, are you willing…

Yeah, this has been thoroughly documented over the years. Healthy Sleep, Happy Child is my go-to book on this and it's very research-based. Honestly, I think it should required reading for all potential parents. Read it during pregnancy so you won't have to read it while sleep deprived after the baby is born.

Also have you ever noticed how bikini tops are always just the right size with none of this bra hassle

Yeah, another thing to know about "sister sizes" is that when you really need, say, a 36DD and a bricks and mortar store doesn't have one in stock, sales people will try to sell you hard on a 38D that will make you uncomfortable and be a complete waste of money.

No, my babies were definitely nothing like half my smell and half my husbands. Babies have a smell unlike toddlers, preschoolers, older children, teenagers or adults. Some of it is definitely hormonal — as in babies don't have the hormonal levels that most of us do. Or the body hair to hang on to smells. I also…

Yeah, the #1 tip should be "Get a job that pays you twice as much as your basic living expenses (housing, food, etc.) because you are going to need that much money to afford the other tips.

Did you not get Christmas and Easter breaks as a kid?

I'm a knitter, and I admit to having a few handfuls of unspun fleece that exist just so I can pet them. Llama is good, but my favorite is a yak/silk blend.

So does this mean that if an older person has trouble hearing you, you shouldn't talk louder, you should pitch your voice lower?

My sister, 12 years older than me, was a professional model. My favorite comment by a (drooling) distant relative when she was at the height of her career and I was an awkward tween: Don't worry, maybe *someday* you'll be as pretty as your sister. I'm not sure I ever was, but I will say this: I don't have health…
