I’ve gotta say, if I ever walked into a party and saw a pan of what looked like kitty litter on the buffet table, I’d be legitimately terrified. Wouldn’t you?! Of course this Kitty Litter Cake Recipe is bound to be a huge hit with kids, not to mention cat lovers. But plain old cake lovers will dig in, too, once they give it a taste.

Then we moved to another state and spent three months sleeping in my former mother-in-law’s king-size bed beneath a crucifix hanging on the wall. (My Jewish-Catholic daughter was conceived in that bed.) Sleeping in a bed that size took some getting used to because we were really, really far apart. Literally and, as I found out a few years later, metaphorically too. I’m not saying that’s why I got divorced, though it would be nice to be able to blame it on an inanimate object....

Thankfully, my nurses were insistent that I start a routine of stool softeners and staying hydrated after I delivered. When the dreaded event finally happened — at home, five days later! — it was shockingly impressive in terms of output but surprisingly not that painful. And I just need to emphasize the amount of relief I felt having passed that extremely harrowing postpartum hurdle was HIGH. Really, really HIGH. And it didn’t even hurt!...
The next day, Chris was arrested and eventually charged with first-degree murder as well as unlawful termination of a pregnancy. “Had we had any inclination that we thought he was involved, at all, no way would I have let him in my house with my wife and kid,” Nick said. Now knowing that the man who allegedly killed Emily’s best friends spent the night so close to her is something that the Thayer parents are still coping with....
Most of the time this ailment pops up when a friend or family member presents you with an adorable infant, freshly hatched. Or perhaps you see a new mom or dad at the store and they don’t seem exhausted and stressed out at all. Sometimes these new families look so good, they make you forget all of the pain of the early days of baby-raising. BUT THAT’S ALL A FARCE!...
A standard affogato is a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream (or gelato if you’re really feeling Italian) and a shot of espresso/brewed coffee. But we like to take things to the next level, which is why we added a shot of Frangelico liqueur. Three ingredients; one sweet, melty, boozy dessert. The Italians know what’s up. title: “How To Make A Frangelico Affogato” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-18” author: “Beatriz Howe” A standard affogato is a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream (or gelato if you’re really feeling Italian) and a shot of espresso/brewed coffee....
The idea is to glue a floating ghost on the inner lid of a mason jar using hot glue, a wooden spool, a wooden knob, and a lollipop stick. Place a square of cheesecloth in liquid starch and then drape it over your ghost shape. When you screw the lid into place and turn the jar upside down, you will have what appears to be a mini ghost terrarium. Watch the video as I complete this craft and decide whether or not the ghosts in a jar were a Pinterest win or a Pinterest fail for me:...
I searched for a leather jacket for years before I found mine at All Saints. It’s a heavier, fall-weight leather, with lots of useful pockets, and not too much hardware. I love it so much, and it fits me so perfectly that it’s become an indispensable piece in my wardrobe. But a lot of people ask me how, exactly, to WEAR a leather jacket. After all, if you’re going to spend THAT much money on something, you’d better have a plan for how to rock it....
In a recent Facebook post, blogger Laura Mazza of Mum on the Run explained why she’s had it with moms who treat play spaces like a makeshift baby sitter. “Today I found myself saying the words ‘hey, that’s not nice’ … ‘please stop’ to two little kids. Kids that weren’t mine. Why? Because no one else was gonna do it,” she writes.

As it turns out, the date stamped on the side of a medicine bottle is not a hard and fast rule for when the contents go bad. “An expiration date is the manufacturer’s guarantee of total efficacy,” explains Deb Lonzer, MD, a board-certified pediatrician and the Chair of the Department of Community Pediatrics for the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital. In other words, up until that specific month, date, and year, your baby Tylenol or cough syrup will work as well as promised....
Does this mean Kat proposed to her man on Valentine’s Day? “Is he flashing a ring? CONGRATULATIONS!” “This is gonna be one hell of a weddinggggg.” “I hope you have finally fount the one who is your forever and ever.” “Congratulations and how romantic!” So really, if she’d proposed, I feel like he’d square up and tell the world. So. There it is. Whether she proposed to him with a ring, or he proposed to her with a lip print tattoo, we may never know… unless we’re told....

The latest look in Nail Sunny’s beauty arsenal is an ant manicure. It’s exactly what it sounds like and it’s totally disturbing — in more ways than one.

According to Richard Branson, who tells the tale on his blog at Virgin.com, a generous man by the name of Pankaj Shah was dining there as well. He had the wonderful habit of anonymously paying for people’s meals when he was dining out. On that particular night, he asked restaurant staff to find “the couple who looked most in love.” They did, and Shah went on about his way, probably never giving them too much more thought beyond hopes that they enjoyed the meal....
Assuming he is telling the truth, he says: Agreed! But yowza. That’s a lot! And that wasn’t all. Seriously, I have three kids (which seemed like a lot until I read that post), and we are lucky to even dream of having alone time that much. Maybe it’s because we have a 6-month-old? I hope so! Jeesh. I feel badly. Ouch. That’s bad. The thing is, all that nonsense about married sex being less plentiful?...
First, she asks other parents not to put her on a “pity pedestal,” where they say things like, “I couldn’t do what you do every day.” Jeppson wrote, “I know those comments are well meaning. Truly, I do. But, frankly, I have never felt like intervening and helping our children was a choice we had. It’s not like lessons or little league where we made a choice to be involved — it is something our children NEED to have a shot at life....
Setzer, an Ohio mom of two, shared her daughter Emmalee’s unthinkable seed tick encounter in a Facebook post last summer, but it’s just starting to go viral. “Emmalee was playing outside yesterday rolling around on the ground while enjoying the sprinkler. After coming inside and laying down for a nap I just happened to notice tiny (and I mean TINY) little black dots all over her legs, abdomen, arms and armpit area,” the mom reveals in her post....
Got that? No matter what he says; if you don’t want him in there watching you push his baby into the world, he doesn’t get in. Greatest court ruling ever? Not so fast. The first-of-its-kind-in-the-nation ruling comes out of New Jersey where a mom named Rebecca DeLuccia got pregnant and engaged only to split with fiance Steven Plotnick before the baby was born. Plotnick felt he was being kept out of the loop on the happenings with his baby, so he sued for access, and the feces hit the fan....
Yes, I was more than a little obsessed. Now that I have four kids, I look at all the moms I see whipping out the wipes and the gels and the high-chair covers and roll my eyes because it’s a total waste of time. I should be clear that I’m not a slob. Quite the opposite, actually. I clean my bathrooms at least once a week, vacuum my floors every other day or so, and do the dishes every night before I go to bed....
