The latter scenario is exactly how I ended up in the ER, broken ankle elevated and wrapped in ice. It’s also the reason that now, 2.5 weeks later, I’m only able to run on a treadmill, wearing athletic tape, for periods of no longer than a half hour. But to me, it’s running. I’ll take it. To my husband, it’s a sign of things to come. The fact is, [exercise can come between couples]( http://online....
But I was determined to rise to the challenge — All toys were sanitized before they came within 10ft of my child. People were sanitized too, they were also grilled as to when they were last sick, if they knew proper baby handling techniques, and the date of their most recent TB test. Then came child number two, and I was racing to get her home … it’s amazing how much changes between your first and second....
If you’ve been looking for something to replace the “Roses are red, violets are etc” in your kid’s Valentine, here’s a selection of deeply ridiculous poems I wrote when my kids were younger. It’s almost disturbing how these are all still true today: Did you know you are my heartdid you know you fill me with happinessdid you know you are my everythingdid you know, my dear, oh did youknowIt is 5:30 in the freaking morning?...
This Heart Healthy Bisquick recipe is a spin-off of Bisquick’s classic back-of-the-box one for strawberry shortcake, but with the added benefit of being healthier (and less fattening!) than the original. I’m talking fat-free milk, fat-free whipped cream, and absolutely NO butter. That’s pure heaven right there. Now I just have to stop myself from making them every night. Heart Smart Strawberry Shortcakes adapted from Bisquick Ingredients: 1 pint strawberry, sliced 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup Bisquick Heart Smart mix 2 tablespoons sugar 1/3 cup skim (I used fat-free) milk Fat-free whipped cream...
Sure, you might hate yourself in the morning given the calorie content of this heavenly dessert, but isn’t that what Thanksgiving is all about? Crust: 1 1/4 cups gingersnap cookies (crushed into crumbs) 1/4 cup melted butter Combine crushed cookies and melted butter. Press into bottom and up sides of 9" springform pan.

To me, “Holiday Casual” means your favorite cute red top or casual red dress. Or it could mean throwing in a silver, gold, or black sequined piece in with otherwise casual party attire. And you will probably see some Santa sweaters there, too. My personal choice would be a simple red dress, tights (or black leggings), and boots. Check out these inexpensive options below: This look includes a drape-neck belted sweater dress (Express, $52....
Plus size women don’t have many brick and mortar locations where they can go and try on clothes to see how they fit — we usually have to guess at our size and order things online. But this might change really soon — thanks to Modcloth. After ending the segregation of sizes on their site by including their plus-size range as part of their regular collection, Modcloth has opened this store in Austin so their customers can try on clothes IRL....
You may think it’s cute when your toddler tries to climb on the back of your Great Dane, and being the gentle giant that he is, he takes her for a ride. There’s all kinds of videos on the web dedicated to kids riding dogs with comments like “Oh, how cute!” and “Too funny!” But it’s neither cute nor funny — it’s dangerous for the animal. Dr. Sarah Bassman of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine explains the health risks for letting your child ride on your dog’s back....
As if Fenty Beauty wasn’t enough to snatch our wigs, Rihanna’s just added the highly anticipated Savage X lingerie brand to her Fenty empire. The extensive collection’s bra sizes range from 32A to 44DD, and its underwear ranges from XS to 3X. It’s great to see a celebrity designer putting in the effort to include a variety of body types, especially for a plus-size woman like myself. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have my doubts....
The statement left fans wondering, “what happened?” Now, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of just that. However, there was reportedly no screaming — Jeffree and Nikkie merely had to raise their voices because they were on two different levels of a multi-platform boat. Two Benefit employees were present, but no security was called and no threats were made. Sanders has received information from Jeffree in the past, though — and Jeffree has made private statements to other YouTubers, so it’s unlikely that Sanders is bullshitting us with this one....
In the interest of saving money, I decided to shave instead. Um. Not so cute. Aside from the stubble in one day (hey, I’m part Span-talian and hairy), I got a wicked case of razor burn. According to my poll on what CafeMoms do with the hair down there, 69 percent shave. So how to do you keep those unsightly bumps at bay? CafeMom Jmum gave me the scoop. She told me that she recently posted a question about what she could use to shave her bikini area without suffering through horrible razor burn afterwards....
With a few pointers — and a few great options — here’s everything you need to know about the Year of Sheer. I refuse to give that up. Now, before we get to the fun stuff — the clothes — allow me to bestow a few pointers I’ve acquired about doing the sheer look: If your bra is going to be showing, do a darker version of whatever sheer you’re wearing....
I didn’t think I’d be this way, but I am. When my daughter cries, I pick her up. On the rare occasion that she cries when we put her down for the night — I let her fuss (that’s fuss, not wail) for about 10 minutes or so, and if it doesn’t stop, I scoop her back up and rock her until she seems like she’s ready. My husband doesn’t love that I do this, as the reason for her crying at this time nine times out of 10 is due to being overtired, but I just can’t leave her....
But then three years ago, I decided to chop off my hair to a long bob — and it was my biggest regret. I have been trying to grow my hair out ever since, but as everyone knows, the journey from long bob to long hair, don’t care can take FOREVER. My friends who have extensions recommended Bellami hair, the gold standard. But those extensions can get expensive — I needed inches fast, and I needed them affordable....
For the first couple years, they did. I was that smug mom who bragged about how her boys devoured beets. But then they started preschool, and discovered the wonderful world of crackers and granola bars. Suddenly they wanted nothing to do with any vegetable that wasn’t a potato. I can still get them to squeeze a pouch of fruit down now and then, but trying to get them to eat vegetables?...
I could feel my thighs rubbing together from the moment I got out of bed that day. They were big and sticky and they were clearly reacquainting themselves with one another after a 50-degree-and-under, sweat-free winter. I knew I’d start chafing soon. I also knew that if I didn’t take any preventative measures, my upper-to-mid thighs would be raw and bleeding within a couple of hours. This was never especially pleasurable....
Literally the only thing I can remember about those evenings was the one time I curiously snooped around in their bedside drawer. Did I actually find anything? That memory, like the memory of how I handled caring for a small child and an infant when I was all of 14 or 15 years old, has been lost to the ages. If you’re thinking I seemed awfully young to be in charge of a baby, you’re not alone—these days, the trend has dramatically shifted away from using teenagers as babysitters....
A study conducted in the Czech Republic found that women perceived men with brown eyes to be more trustworthy than their light-eyed counterparts. They argue that there’s something inherently more baby-faced about men with brown eyes (they generally have bigger mouths, broader chins, bigger noses, and more prominent eyebrows than blue-eyed guys), which makes them appear younger, which makes them seem cheerful, which makes them seem like good guys to whom you can open up....
Basically, Isla is busting out of her dress here. Her cups have officially runneth over. And while I’m sure Sacha Baron Cohen (or any dude) isn’t complaining, it’s proof that small-breasted women can get away with riskier fashion choices — and, well, more fashion in general. There’s … less to get in the way. The dress Isla is wearing here just doesn’t look right on her. I mean, she looks incredibly gorgeous and va-va-voom, but I can’t help but think this is a gown more for someone like Anne Hathaway or Cate Blanchett....
She admitted on Access Hollywood back in 2010 that she’d consider posing for Playboy if all the money went to autism research, but no word yet on whether or not she’s following through with that idea. I was a fan of Jenny’s when she hosted Singled Out and I think that episode where she guest-starred on Wings taught me everything I know about the humor of mis-remembered song lyrics, but she kind of lost me when she went all anti-vaccine on my ass....
