Every mom I talked to had a different way to hold her baby while nursing, a different breastfeeding “style” so to speak. So which one was right? All of them. Every darn one of them. How you breastfeed a baby, it turns out, doesn’t matter all that much. What does matter is that mom and baby are both comfortable and the little one is getting to eat. The real trick is finding what works for you....
Plus, they take forever to dry. Have you ever tried blow-drying your eyelashes? I have. It’s crazy. Based on my experience, this isn’t true. I’ve been getting lash extensions for two months now. I’ve gotten them done at fancy, high-end salons and less expensive places in my neighborhood. No matter where I go or how much I spend, my natural lashes HAVE fallen out. They don’t fall out all at once, and you won’t be lash-bald — but they do diminish....
So how did we get here? Well, let’s take a very enlightening walk down memory lane. Beyond that, Kim’s photo recalls the exploitation of Saartjie Baartman, a Black woman who lived during the nineteenth century. The native South African was captured, sold, and sent to Europe to perform in a human-oddities show — because of her large buttocks and elongated labia. She became known as the Hottentot Venus, and spent the remainder of her short life being exploited in freak shows....
When I got divorced, getting used to being the only adult in a household of three wasn’t that easy for me. I had relied on my ex-husband for a lot, whether it was dropping the kids off at school in the morning or running out to the bank to get money for the Tooth Fairy or bringing home a paycheck. But I very quickly learned a few things that were really beneficial to me in the months after my divorce....
Your baby suddenly becomes alive at night, just as you are preparing to go to sleep. Like something out of a horror film, he stretches his hand or foot out from your belly and you spend the next three hours (when you should be peacefully sleeping) watching your abdomen rise and fall like the ocean. More from The Stir: 15 Gross Pregnancy Symptoms That Stick Around Long After the Baby Is Born Your urine smells absolutely foul because of the insane number of hormones coursing through your body....
Rule #1: Don’t leave dangerous crap on the floor. No, seriously. Although your goal is that your baby never falls from your bed, it can happen. Babies can suffocate in a pile of your dirty laundry if they land face-down in it. Or drown if you happen to keep buckets by your bed. Ahem. If your baby DOES fall off your bed, let’s hope you actually hear it (unlike the parents in that story)....
Everyone serves pizza. Many kids are too excited to eat an entire slice of pizza (what a waste). The little guests will often lick the frosting off their cake or cupcake, not even touching the bottom part (more waste!). For my son’s 6th birthday party at a local nature center a few weeks ago, I switched things up by hosting a light brunch. The menu was incredibly simple to the point it involved almost no prep....
I had a chat with Samantha Huggins, DONA certified birth doula and one of the directors at Carriage House Birth in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to get her trusted advice on this critical time so mamas-to-be are well informed. To know is to be empowered. To be empowered gives you a better chance of having a beautiful birth experience. Here’s what Samantha and I put together to guide you through your contractions during early labor and help you decide when to go to the hospital....
But even with all of these options, we can never be too safe when it comes to putting our children on top of a shopping cart, where the risk of falling exists. Sadly, a mom in Macon, Georgia learned this lesson in the most tragic way when her baby fell from the top of the shopping cart onto the ground and died. Clearly all of the above options weren’t available at the local Kroger’s, as the 3-month-old was in her own car seat seat, balanced on top of the shopping cart....

I’d fallen hard for her and wanted to give monogamy a try. In the meantime, she agreed to read “Opening Up,” one of the most famous poly how-to guides. The differences in our relationship styles were too great, however, and it became clear that neither of us could be what the other needed. After we split, I began considering poly as more of an identity than a preference. I stumbled into polyamory: I came out as bisexual after graduating college, and the first woman I dated had a boyfriend....
But okay, I don’t always feel like making a giant coffee cake and eating it for three days straight until it’s gone. No, wait, that’s a lie. I do want to do that, but it’s really for the best if I can just make a single-serve coffee cake. Reduces temptation, right? So I messed around with ingredients, a measuring spoon, and a microwave to see if I could create a crumbly, cinnamony coffee cake in a cup that could be made in a microwave in about five minutes at 11 p....

In an interview with Revelist at the Faviana Oscar watch party, Alexiss shared why the industry needs to change the conversation to focus not on physical health, but on the mental health of curvier models.

Dad Tim Challies says that he and his wife, Aileen, made the decision to disallow sleepovers when their children were still very young.
