Her granddad Jack Hornsby passed away in 2007, just six years before Jade’s daughter Lacey-Mae Head was born. While he’ll never get to meet his great-granddaughter, at least Jade and her family (Jade’s mom also thinks Jack made a cameo in the ultrasound) now have a keepsake that includes a missing loved one. At first glance, it does kinda look like there’s a profile of someone’s face next to Lacey-Mae when she was in the womb — but does that mean it was her grandfather?...

Which is exactly what makes it tough for moms when baby hates being swaddled. With everyone telling you to do it, you find yourself wondering if it’s normal to have a baby who fights the blankets at every turn. Now for the good news … According to Ann Marie Schmersal, nurse practitioner in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Dayton Children’s Hospital, a baby who hates to be swaddled is absolutely normal....

But I’ve never gotten a massage by a male therapist. I’ve often wondered how it would be different. Mainly, would I get sexually aroused? I haven’t been turned on by a massage before. My only bodily response, other than the release of some taut neck muscles, has been the increased need to pass gas. And that’s embarrassing no matter what the gender of the massager is. But massages can definitely be sexual....

According to the New York Times, an increasing number of day care centers are now making care available for kids 24/7, in order to meet the round-the-clock childcare needs of today’s working parents. That means kids are being dropped off and picked up late at night, or in the wee hours of the morning, as their parents head to and from work. That means some of them are not always eating dinner with their families or sleeping through the night in their own beds in their own homes....

One of the top sex symbols of the 1990s, Pamela Anderson, is now 45. And some recent published photos of her have brought out the haters. “Holy cow, she’s gotten old!!!” exclaimed one reader. Some others chimed in with, “A little Botox on the forehead is needed,” and “She’s looking rough.” Here are 10 reasons Pam might look “older” than her age. Airbushing. At 45, it’s natural that Pam would have some lines on her face....

Breastfeeding mom Paige Peterson posted a side-by-side Facebook photo of two frozen pouches of breast milk pumped about two weeks apart. The pouch on the left looked to be “normal” breast milk — it’s off white in color — while the one on the right had changed significantly in terms of color and was more yellow. Peterson says this change was brought on by her daughter’s flu diagnosis. More from CafeMom: This Mom Squirted Breast Milk in Her Sick Kid’s Eye & People Are Divided “Raina tested positive for flu this past weekend,” the mother wrote....

Posted under the name GabeandJess on YouTube, the woman says she’s 38 weeks pregnant with TWINS (yes, twins!), and this was her last resort to bring them into the world already. “After 16 days of contractions, lost parts or all of my mucus plus 14 times, 4cm dilated, 70% effaced, numerous false alarms, and virtually no sleep…. I have no other options… ;),” she wrote. What she does next you will not believe....

Twenty-seven year-old Jada* has been married for five years. She has what she says is a good life — a son who amazes her every day and husband who does well financially — but she never wants to have sex because every time she does, her husband argues with her. Paul* is 30 and Jada says he is very romantic and loving but something changes after they have sex. He criticizes her....

“Singapore’s population, it needs some increasin’, so forget waving flags, August 9th we be freaking … the birthrate won’t spike itself!” True statement. The government of the small city-state has done a lot to encourage some baby making — there are tax breaks for families with children, government paid maternity leave, and government subsidized singles’ events like speed dating and dancing lessons. I don’t know if they’re happy about this Mentos ad or what, but officials shoudn’t be too upset — if they want more babies, this might just be the way to do it....

Bikinis are skimpy enough — but Brazilian bikinis are a whole other story. Up until recently, the bottoms were barely large enough to be considered anything other than a piece of dental floss. I never understood how wearing a piece clothing resembling the size of an oral care product could be comfortable, and thankfully, Brazilian swimwear designers are wising up and realizing that most women want a lot more coverage on the beach....

Not only is fall a gorgeous time of year, it’s the best to come home to the warm, inviting scents of classic comfort food. Of course, the best part of any beef stew is how versatile it is. Throw in any kind of vegetables you want, but after a day’s worth of slow cooking, they’re sure to taste amazing and perfectly complement the tender, juicy beef. Enjoy!

It’s also about recognizing all the women in our lives who fill motherly roles. But how do you recognize them without overshadowing your own mom? Say, how do you celebrate your step-mother, who has clearly taken on a major role in your family, but isn’t your birth mother? Granted, Step-Mother’s Day is the Sunday after Mother’s Day, but recognizing a mother-figure on actual Mother’s Day can still hold so much significance....

Q: My 10-year-old son is very sensitive, and sometimes overreacts when his friends tease him in a playful way. This is something his teacher noticed last year and something I’m now noticing more and more at home when he’s playing with his friends. Is there something we can do at home this summer so that he’s better able to handle this when he returns to school in the fall? A: Your son is not alone....

When limo driver Danny Izzi pulled over right away and got out to help the passengers trapped inside, the kids didn’t stay behind snapping pics with their phones and posting them on Instagram (which wouldn’t have surprised me). Instead, they followed him — gowns and tuxes and all — and went right to work. “We kind of reacted to it, ran out of the limo and did what we had to do,” said Western High School football player Frank Tucker....

I actually don’t get to say the words “I am a stay-at-home mom” too often, since being one greatly limits my daily human interactions. I have been rocking this gig since my first daughter was born, three years ago. There were plenty of surprises when I made the transition. Like how amazed I was by the amount of money you can save when you don’t ever go anywhere. Conversely, how amazed I was by the amount of extra money I was willing to spend so that I didn’t ever have to go anywhere (life pro tip: there is a real company out there that makes edible cookie dough, and they will deliver it directly to your freaking doorstep)....

This reminds me of a funny scene in the movie Away We Go where an uber-crunchy mom scolds another couple for even thinking about putting their baby in a stroller. “Why would you want to PUSH! your child away?!?” she says dramatically. So what’s the big deal? Most of us need strollers to get around with our babies. Even moms who prefer baby carriers sometimes use strollers when they’re out for longer stretches of time....

Sometimes, that YouTuber drama is a just a minor slip-up, but at its worst, it can perpetuate dangerous societal ideologies in the most blatant ways. These 19 instances are the biggest of 2017: The amount Nikkie was paid was never confirmed — all Jeffree’s threats achieved was a storm of drama that only made Nikkie look naive and vulnerable. Meanwhile, she stayed quiet, likely for legal reasons. He quickly apologized for any offense taken from the wig and clarified his intentions....

The truth is even I, the author of the piece, have not tried all 50. Has anyone really? It’s an extensive list and not one that’s easy to get through, especially if you’ve committed to marriage and monogamy early in life. So instead of saying we MUST do these things, let’s say instead that we should be open to the possibilities. Is this a checklist that you have to complete in order to die happy?...

So, because I’m definitely not the only person on a budget who is wondering this — and because I am a certified beauty investigator, after all — I decided to find out. IS there really any benefit to splurging on lashes, or should we all just stick to buying and throwing away the cheap stuff? Let’s explore our options. Application, especially for a lash newbie, can be a nightmare with these....
