I’m coming up on 5 months postpartum and I still feel like I have a touch of aphasia. I say the wrong words or can’t come up with words quickly enough, it’s incredibly frustrating. I can’t even blame it on sleep deprivation, kid’s been mostly sleeping through the night since about 8 weeks. At the same time I can… Read more

I haven’t seen Palin’s name on any attendee lists, what’s the deal there?! Read more
I hate to be a massive downer but I need some good thoughts in large quantities. My cousin’s boyfriend died in a dirt bike accident today, he hit a tree and was killed instantly. They just bought a house together, they were going to get married in the next few years, he was only 24. I’m so scared and sad for her, I… Read more
I have friends who refer to themselves as Cafeteria Catholics for doing exactly what you describe. Read more
Gross. I found out at 10 weeks my very, very wanted fetus had no heartbeat and was medicinally induced. I can’t even process how horrifying it would have been to be legally required to fish that out of the toilet. I just shuddered typing that. These fuckers are sick. Read more
How shocking! Read more
Which, coincidentally, is exactly what you do when you have a spontaneous or induced miscarriage and I don’t see any of these assholes up in arms about that. If they are so worried about the damn fetus why doesn’t the miscarried one get the same treatment? Read more
My cousin works in rescue and has a little paw (dog, of course), super cute! Read more
It's fine that I heard both of these in my head in their respective voices, right? I don't watch too many cartoons for an adult, right? Read more

Yummmmm. I make something similar to the processed version but with avocado in place of the tahini. Read more
Cauliflower! Read more
Tell me more about this jalapeno tahini situation pls. Read more
I definitely think that’s weird! I was pregnant last year on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and there was nothing more than a cursory, “We’ll have a kid by this time next year, whoa,” on both occasions. Read more
That’s not even two pints of Ben & Jerry’s a day. I see nothing untoward here. Read more
Good for you and congrats on the babe! My husband took two weeks of vacation and has said multiple times that it wasn’t nearly enough. He’s already mentioned hoarding vacation for the next one so he can have more time which seems incredibly unfair. It also created a bit of jealousy and self-doubt for him that wasn’t… Read more
Are you saying that women who plan to have children should spend their entire early career hoarding time for when they eventually have them? Read more
I'd be happy if they just posted his name every day. I love to say it in my head. Read more
They must also be wrapped in tin foil, which really holds the cold in. Read more
I’m so sorry. I had an induced miscarriage at 10 weeks in January 2015 after they found no heartbeat. It does get easier and I was lucky enough to get pregnant again a few months later, my son is four months old and perfectly healthy, but I still think about the other pregnancy. I don’t know that I will ever have a… Read more
