This is a sponsored post written by us on behalf of Pampers. All opinions are our own. I can’t wait to have another toddler running around the house. It’s such a fun age; everything is new, interesting, and fun. Okay, so not all of it. There are times when you want to pull your hair out, but that is part of being a parent. At least, by the time your little one is a toddler they should be sleeping all night or you at least hope they will....
Aussie mom-of-six Krechelle explained that pooing as a mom is like any regular poo, except that it never actually happens when you want it to. “I literally don’t have time to poo. It gives ’not giving a sht’ whole new meaning,” the blogger wrote on her Facebook page, Eightathome. “So you hold and you hold and then you become constipated but you can’t cry because somebody’s probably watching you poo....
Bootea’s “Teatox” is a popular detox drink that celebs like Ashley Tisdale and Kim Kardashian use. It’s NOT a diet tea, per their website, but “a great way to kickstart a healthier you.” (Still, according to The Daily Mail, the tea is a popular way for brides-to-be to quickly slim down for their big day.) The tea’s list of ingredients sounds a-okay: Chinese oolong tea mixed with mate leaves, ginger root, fennel seeds, lemongrass, dandelion, ginseng, gotu kola, and nettle leaves....
The anticipation was palpable: would this movie (an adaptation of the same-named Marvel comic) be as good as Frozen, or even better? What immediately became clear was that this film — about a 14-year-old robotics prodigy named Hiro and his 10-foot-tall inflatable robot friend, Baymax — seemed designed to capture the imaginations of boys much more than the princesses and ice castles of Disney’s past hit. Plus, this film is not a musical, so don’t expect your kids to bellow some catchy new ditty like “Let It Go” all winter, either (phew)....
A bikini bridge is the view of your stomach, waist, and legs when you’re lying down, wearing a bikni and taking a selfie. Your bikini bottom should stretch along your thigh bones, creating a “bridge” of fabric along your pubic area. There should be a small space between that and the fabric. Although rumor has it that the “bikini bridge” trend is actually a hoax on the media, there is no denying that there is a bikini bridge tumblr page, and people share bikini bridge photos on Twitter....
Further complicating matters? Nerve damage in one of Suzanne’s breasts made breastfeeding excruciatingly painful. And then there was her crippling postpartum depression (PPD) … she had to deal with feelings of failure that she couldn’t breastfeed through a haze of sadness. She felt alone, so she started to write. Suzanne launched her Fearless Formula Feeder blog with the mantra Standing Up for Formula Feeders Without Being a Boob About It....
The steamy shoots are meant to capture newylweds at their most intimate. Kind of like bride and groom boudoir photography but with the feeling of, well, the glowy, thrilling, sexy post-nuptial “morning after.” Typical set-ups include the new hubby and wife in their bedrooms or hotel rooms snuggling, showering, or well, whatever else they’re comfortable doing in front of the camera lens. But don’t get the wrong idea … We’re not talking about porn here....
Remember when you used to sit down at the dining room table with crayons and butcher paper and waste away an entire afternoon? Ah, so long ago. Now your kids are all about their cellphones and trying to convince their university of choice that Keurigs are so much safer than hot plates. But if your teen is obsessed with having the coolest dorm on campus, you’re in luck — because we’ve rounded up 10 of the blogosphere’s coolest crafts for college dorm rooms....

Which is unfortunate, because no one can give all the time with getting anything back, and addicts will never be forced to confront their own issues if there’s always someone there fixing everything for them. Codependents often develop their own substance abuse problem just from the sheer exhaustion and stress that naturally comes from a relationship with someone addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, or themselves. Relationships are hard, man, and there’s going to be a natural ebb and flow in even the best partnerships....

The love letters I write them now are meaningless and they could care less that the photo albums are all up to date. It’s the little things that seem to mean the most to them — the stolen hugs and solo date nights and special handshakes we share. I want to make an effort to show them more of those little moments, so I turned to my mommy friends to find out how they show their children love....
We’re highlighting jobs that don’t have you scrambling for a babysitter on a regular basis, and jobs that aren’t more stressful than four months of 4 a.m. feedings. Big points for jobs that don’t take you out on the road and jobs that don’t have blatant pay discrimination (even though all jobs still don’t pay equally for men and women). Finally, jobs that are meaningful could trump all of the above, because some people need a really, really, good reason to do something that takes time away from the kids....
And what better way to re-enact the history of eyebrows than by doing it myself? Join me as I take you on a video journey through 100 years of eyebrow trends. But of course, that’s not what happened. Women often darkened their eyebrows if their hair was blonde (like Mary Pickford, pictured above), or lightened them if their hair was dark. Rather than lightening my own eyebrows with a period-appropriate DIY mixture, I opted to draw them in nice and full with a gray brow pencil....
Despite that, many of the heroines of Disney classic animated movies are admirable in other ways. They’re undoubtedly tough cookies. They are true to themselves, remain loyal to friends, never give up, and always seem to be humming a cheerful tune. We can learn so much from them about soldiering through life with a smile — and accepting help when it’s offered from the unlikeliest of sources. These 11 quotes from the girls of our beloved Disney movies are perfect nuggets of wisdom for our daughters’ ears....

Vitamin D: Eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain this vitamin — but it’s all in the yolk. Blood spots: Sometimes eggs have little blood spots, also called meat spots, in the yolk. Contrary to rumor, blood spots do not mean the egg has been fertilized. It happens sometimes when a blood vessel is ruptured while the yolk is being formed. Industrial egg farms try to pull those eggs out of production because they know it weirds people out....
