Here are 5 tips for navigating the garden center waters. Go local for the best variety I like to buy my plants from a small, family-owned nursery for several reasons. First, I like to spend my money in my local community. I also trust the folks who run the small nursery and know that I can come to them with questions and I’ll be given good advice and suggestions. They also propagate and grow many of the plants they sell, and they offer only what will grow in my climate....

But the problem is a lot of people want to always know the drama; everyone feeds into negativity. And I’ve been definitely someone who has mixed myself into that shit … It’s OK, we all make mistakes. But just because I unfollowed someone doesn’t mean we have to go on a witch hunt … Imagine having a falling out with someone you’ve known for six months and then it’s blasted all over your family’s Facebook or in your circle; it gets old — so imagine it getting amplified by millions of people....

Money and a Black Card are apparently a volatile combination, because Kim has taken herself under the knife more times than anyone other than her plastic surgeon’s accountant can accurately recollect. It’s sad, actually, to see a woman literally pick herself apart—with the help of modern science—and morph into a completely different being. Plenty of us would change a thing or two if we could. (Heaven knows I would get these love handles whisked off with the quickness....

I’m probably about as “pro” boys in dance classes as they come, but I’d love to hear what you have to say. I say if a boy is a dance enthusiast or even simply interested in taking a dance class, then by all means, sign him up. My oldest took a hip hop class when he was about four, and it really helped with his coordination, his ability to listen and follow direction, and his energy overload too....

She figured out how to make it herself and it’s sugar wax!...

Married couples who have “sexless marriages” are, indeed, unhappier than those who have plenty of the between the sheets action. But just what constitutes a “sexless marriage”? I know for my husband, if we fall below once a week, he starts to get pissy. It may sound bad, but it’s true. There is a lot of door slamming and whining and “why aren’t you paying attention to me?” But you know what?...

But while I work primarily from home, once in a while, an opportunity pops up that allows me to escape from the cave of my kitchen island office and venture into the city to go to work like a regular person — which I absolutely love. I jump at the chance to get out of the house when I can — which puts me in a bit of a pickle tomorrow evening....

With kids still going strong on the Hatchimals craze this holiday season, many parents are currently shopping for anything and everything that has to do with these beloved toys. However, after her daughter recently received a horrible reaction from a Hatchimal bath bomb that she got for her birthday, one mom is warning parents to think twice before putting this product in stockings or under the Christmas tree. Jennifer Renee/Facebook More from CafeMom: Warning: Parents Are Getting Scammed With Fake Versions of This Year’s Hottest Holiday Toy More from CafeMom: This Mom’s Genius Elf on the Shelf ‘Retirement’ Plan Is the Sweetest Idea Yet UPDATE: On December 12, 2017, Spin Master, the company behind the Hatchimals brand, shared a statement with CafeMom about its investigation into these claims: “Spin Master has been looking into the matter with the manufacturer and licensee to whom we license the Hatchimals brand....

Oh, but she could. She is. Those headlines that warn about a spike in girls hitting “early puberty” have come to roost in my house. According to statistics, the rate of precocious puberty has doubled in white girls in America. In black and Hispanic girls, the march toward puberty has always been faster than their white counterparts, but the white girls are catching up. Fast. Like my daughter. First it was the distinct scent of onions from her armpits after she’d play....

Maternity leave for women is of course about physical recovery, but isn’t it more importantly about bonding with your child and figuring out how to parent him or her?

The problem is that it would be looked down upon in their workplace and by their peers....

Back home, we tried to make a fresh start, so I didn’t think anything of it when Robert asked me to sign the papers. But afterwards, he just grew nastier. One night, we got into an argument and he grabbed me by the shoulders. Shaking, I ran from the room. Two weeks later, I typed out a curt email to Robert. “I want a divorce,” I wrote. “I’ll be seeing a lawyer on Monday....

For infant formula to be labelled organic, 95% of its ingredients must come from farms that use sustainable agriculture practices. That means they don’t use conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. Also, any animals used to produce organic foods must not have been given antibiotics or growth hormones....

But on this tragic day, 15-year-old Alexi was at a friend’s house when the two decided to have a snack. Alexi accepted a Chips Ahoy cookie out of the package that her friend offered her; the foil wrapper had been folded back and, according to Kellie, her daughter had neglected to read the label because “the packaging was too similar to what we had previously deemed ‘safe’ to her.” “She ate one cookie of chewy Chips Ahoy thinking it was safe because of the ‘red’ packaging, only to find out too late that there was an added ingredient....

Corey has been married for four years to Steven* — the couple has a 1-year-old daughter and Steven’s mom lives with them. Things have been great, Corey says, but her husband has recently wanted to get kinky in a way they haven’t really before. He’s really into biting. And she likes it.
