Anyway, if your guy has been a little too tough and not enough vulnerable lately, here’s help: A new poll by PRS Music has nailed down the top three songs that make men cry. And this list came after this week’s Glee, so “I Want to Hold Your Hand” as sung by Kurt is not one of them. Wondering what they are? Got a few good guesses before you click?...

The military, in particular, has a proud and long-standing relationship with body art, and hundreds of thousands of proud patriots bear a tribute to our great nation on their body. But all citizens can show their pride in so many different ways. Here is a collection of different-style all-American tattoos, and all carry great meaning.

Our battle with the hairbrush is not fun, and we’ve tried a host of detanglers. Some of them work quite well, but when I see the list of chemicals in them, I think I’d rather go back to the battle of the brush. Sure, there are natural detanglers out there, but they are expensive, and my daughter has a LOT of hair. So I’ve found a host of recipes for homemade detanglers that are easy to make as well as effective for adults and toddlers alike....

The Frisky just had an article on the inanimate objects people love, and the results will scare you. One man got his penis caught in a drain pipe (yes, seriously). Another woman can’t get off unless she has her beloved laundry basket. And yet another loves a vacuum cleaner. Look, I am not one to judge (read: yes I am), but this is a touch weird. In the spirit, however, of love and acceptance, I will create a list of 5 potentially hot and sexy inanimate objects....

Five Little Pumpkins. This was my son’s favorite — we recited it over and over again. Kids can learn to tell it along with you, and I love the hand movements. Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9r65lQUqMg In a Dark, Dark House. This is a simple story that makes the use of repetition. The “scary” part is just the surprise at the end. Remember to start out in your regular voice and then get quieter and quieter so the loud “Boo!...

That said, certain tests and procedures are often recommended for women over 35. Here, 5 prenatal protocols these expectant moms may want to consider and what “older” moms who’ve been through them say about their experience. 2. Nuchal translucency screening: Also called the NT or nuchal fold scan, this non-invasive test is one that Dr. Dweck recommends to all women regardless of age. It uses ultrasound to measure the clear (translucent) space in the tissue at the back of your baby’s developing neck....

I even accepted a screen-printed shirt of Dora with my daughter’s name on the top. I am a total hypocrite. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my kid loves her some boots and backpack. Dora is kiddie crack, and my kid has taken a huge snoot full. But if she grows up to be anything like the bilingual girl with a horrible sense of direction, I give you permission to make me wear a Bad Parent badge....

Lots and lots of spit-up: A little spit-up is perfectly normal, but a lot can mean something else is going on. If your baby is healthy except for his frequent spitting up, give Similac® For Spit-Up a try. It is clinically shown to reduce frequent spit-up by 54 percent! Excessive fussiness after feedings: Some babies will fuss and fret for no apparent reason after a bottle. They seem to love their formula when it’s going down but then cry about it when they’re done, even when they’ve been burped....

Sure, they’ve got money, fame, and countless admirers, that’s true. But even the most beautiful of models is still a human being. As such, it shouldn’t be surprising that even they get dumped. A quick jaunt down memory lane should remind you that just because supermodels seem perfect, it doesn’t mean their lives are without flaw. Supermodels get divorced just like the rest of us — albeit, most of the time, they are divorcing someone equally good-looking....

And I’m sure that you, like me, kind of roll your eyes at that every time you hear that stat. If you’ve been wearing bras for a long time and they’re not dangling off your elbow, they probably fit you WELL ENOUGH. How much better can a bra possibly fit? Adding confusion to this situation is that there’s no real metric for what a “properly fitted bra” actually IS. Added to that, bra fit advice is treated like The Matrix — nobody can explain it, you have to experience it for yourself....

People around the world have been eating bugs for thousands of years. The critters are an excellent source of protein, they’re low fat, they’re plentiful, and they don’t require a lot of resources to raise (oh hello there, California drought of 2015). “I compare insects today to lobsters and sushi in our culinary history,” says Addison Lilholt, author of Entomological Gastronomy. “Lobsters were served to prisoners and not looked at as a white-tablecloth dining experience at all....

We already shared with you a full platter of scrumptious grilled cheese sandwiches ideas. But did you know there was a dark side to the classic? There are those who would twist the sandwich into something so unholy, so revolting, it’s almost unrecognizable. Witness: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Gone Horribly Wrong. First of all, there is our favorite: Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt. Because your grilled cheese needs mozzarella sticks, obvs. I mean, there’s a glimmer of a good idea in there....

Well, according to experts, the benefits of teaching a baby sign language go well beyond a cute parlor trick to show the grandparents. Even after your baby starts to talk — and read — a background in sign language gives them a leg up in these areas and more.

Looking back at some of the things I did when my daughter was a newborn, I laugh, because wow. Crazytown, USA. But I’m happy to learn that I’m not alone in not being the only overprotective weirdo shortly after giving birth. Can we blame it on the hormones? I asked a group of my favorite mamas if they did any over-the-top, nutty overprotective things when their babies were first born, and boy did they deliver!...

If you find your budget is limited, forget about the swing, the special washcloths, the fancy crib, or the decorative mobile. None of those can save your child’s life. Get a good car seat … and here are the 7 rules to follow when buying one. Buy your seat based on safety, not pretty colors or the stroller it comes with.You may be in love with a design, but if your baby doesn’t fit in it, it’s a worthless deathtrap....
