“Sex Confessions” is a series featuring your naughtiest bedroom secrets and fantasies. Some will sound familiar, others may give you ideas, some will turn you on, and some are dark and twisted. You might want to sit down for this. The relationship a woman has with her mother-in-law is sometimes a very complicated one. And what can add to the sometimes awkwardness is if your mother-in-law catches you doing something you “shouldn’t” be doing....

Ah, but we moms have our secret weapons. “Melatonin,” one mom whispered to me on the playground. I’ve tried it, and yeah, it works. But how safe is it, really for kids? We talked with a pediatrician to see what he thinks about giving kids sleeping aids. Dr. William C. Harenburg is a practicing pediatrician at Wheaton Pediatrics outside Chicago, Illinois. He says he has prescribed melatonin for kids with sleeping issues — but only if other measures haven’t worked....

Soap on a rope is back, and it’s no longer just your dad’s toxic-smelling cologne kind either. Nope. Now soap on a rope is made with good-smelling, sometimes fresh cut, and often handmade with all-natural ingredients, and it looks good. An adorable addition to your bathroom decor and no more sudsy bar cluttering up your sink. We probably owe the return of soap on a rope’s coolness factor to the folks at the Ace Hotel and their modern, in-room soaps on ropes....

Keeping in mind that I’m none of those things, I’m also a firm believer that going to strip clubs is right up there on the cheating scale. As close as 7.9 is to 8—that’s how close I think sitting in a sleazy little den of smutty dancing is to actually carrying out the dirty deed of infidelity. Why not? All of the pieces for the freaky deaky equation are right there: mental fantasizing, physical desire, and emotional hot-and-heaviness....

By delivering via C-section, Dial could recover in the same hospital where Grayson would be, instead of being induced at a different facility only for the newborn to be immediately transferred. Unfortunately, their little fighter didn’t make it.

More from CafeMom: 15 Gorgeous Spanish Baby Names for Girls That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked Want to know which names made the popular baby names list? We’ve got our readers covered. According to Laura Wattenberg of BabyNameWizard.com, the big newcomer in the top 10 is Elijah, which bumped Alexander out of the top 10 for the first time in a decade. “That exchange highlights the increasingly smooth sound of today’s boys’ names, and the dominance of Old Testament names among tradition-minded parents, " she says....

We all know there’s arguments out there as to whether or not drugs during labor are safe, but what I want to talk about is more profound. If you’ve watched The Business of Being Born, you already know what I’m talking about. If not (or if you forgot), I’m talking about the scariest period in history for pregnant and birthing women … the period of Twilight Sleep. First, I need to introduce to you two drugs:...

Then you stumble across a picture of the intrusive trollop — or worse, see the chick in person — and you think what in the blazin’ frumpy hell?! Did I really get played for that?! Happened to my best friend, who is certifiably adorable. Not just because she’s my bestie, but because she’s apparently physically pleasing to the average male eye. Still, that didn’t stop her then-fiance from wrecking their whole relationship with a woman who looked like she rolled out of bed, rolled on the ground, rolled through a hostile beehive, and then rolled in the hay with Keisha’s man....

And now here we are, 2013, the summer of chia seeds. Suddenly I’m seeing them everywhere. So fine, my brother was way ahead of the trend. And yes he beat me at badminton. But how do you eat them? What’s the big idea with these seeds, anyway? Let’s talk about the health benefits of chia seeds first. Since this is a relatively new food on the market, most of those benefits are anecdotal....

Scratch that. I am judging you. Yep, that judgment thing that us cohort of mothers are not supposed to engage in because we are all one village? I’m entirely doing it to you, and I’m not going to apologize for it. I suspect that may come off harsh, but what is also nasty is the way you were speaking and grabbing your young boy who couldn’t have been more than 3 years old....

I’m not normally a big fan of bumper sticker philosophy, but I do find that certain quotes about parenthood stick with me over time … maybe because my brain only has room for nugget-sized wisdom these days. Or maybe because it’s so deeply satisfying to experience, in a few short words, the thoughts that have crossed my own mind as I clumsily fumble my way through the momentous task of raising young people....

Available up to a size 12. Two-piece prom gown ($142, Unique Vintage) Although there have been MANY Disney princess-inspired lines, this one may be my favorite. I love how it’s reinvented the gowns for the 21st century: Just look at that Cinderella crop top or the mermaid dress for Ariel. It’s unclear if this is an official Disney collab, but it’s great to see a new interpretation of the characters’ famous looks....

It’s not uncommon for women to wear several completely different bra sizes, depending on the store, style, and fit of the bra — and we’re still getting it wrong. An estimated 64% of women in the US wear the wrong-sized bra; I personally have five different band and cup combinations in my lingerie drawer. And that’s bullshit. Bra sizing is supposed to be based on a series of standard measurements, but as we all know, every C-cup is totally different....

It seems perfect… but what are these swimsuits actually LIKE? Do they arrive looking like deflated sea monsters, or can you trust the sometimes dodgy-looking images on the site? Do the suits fit? Are they actually cute? Jess and I decided to find out. Buyer, beware. Second: Even if I had bigger boobs, this cross-your-heart top would have strangled me to death. But I’ve paid way more for swimsuits that fit me WAY worse....

Pass. So when I learned that Forever 21 has a bridesmaid section, I KNEW that Alle and I had to check it out. With gowns starting at $18, we were curious if this could be a bridal game-changer. While I’ve only been in two weddings, Alle has been in eight. “Bridesmaid dresses are always unattractive and expensive, and they ALWAYS need a million dollars worth of alterations. If the F21 versions are cheap and cute, I’m down” Alle said....
