In an interview with US Weekly, Madonna revealed 25 things people don’t know about her. This one doesn’t sound very Madonna-like at all because when is the last time the Queen of Pop was forced to share a bathroom with anyone? But who are we to judge? I don’t think I’d go as far as saying sharing one bathroom has to end in divorce, but for anyone who has dealt with this, it can be tricky....
More from CafeMom: 17 Weird Tricks to Get Baby to Sleep That Moms Swear By We’ve all been the adult who has to deal with a bratty child. The kid who won’t listen, throws a fit when things don’t go his or her way, and has a serious attitude problem. But what is a mom to do if she realizes that the bratty child is hers? Just because a child is displaying an attitude now does not mean that he or she will grow up to be spoiled....
There are breakups and there are BREAKUPS, and a breakup on Valentine’s Day, the made-up holiday on which the whole dang world is celebrating how wonderful love is, definitely falls into the all caps kind of breakup category. More from CafeMom: 11 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Newly Heartbroken Who knows if it’s all the pressure or expectations (or that price tag on roses!) that make this day such a hot one for love to run cold, but Cupid was clearly asleep on the job for the nine women who were willing to share their real-life stories of being dumped on the most romantic day of the year....
“Chopped” onions and garlic. If you’re in a real rush while cooking and don’t mind shedding some serious tears, try grating that onion or garlic instead of chopping. It’s not what your anal-retentive perfectionist Food Network-watching friend might do, but in a pinch, it’ll get the job done. Chocolate for melting. Grating your chocolate instead of chopping it is not only easier (maybe?), but also helps your chocolate to melt faster....
Instructions for making Pumpkin Bats. Simply paint a few pumpkins with chalkboard paint and then your young ones can make and remake and remake again their Jack O’ Lanterns over and over from now until Halloween. You know, once is never enough for little kids. It’s called, get this…the Whack-o’-Lantern.

When it was time for a nap on that tragic day, a daycare provider put Susannah in a car seat, fastened the chest straps without tightening them, placed the car seat on the bed, and then left the room. “In that time, Susannah scooted down in her car seat and caught her neck on the chest strap. She was strangled,” Erin wrote on Facebook. “This was someone who had been trained in safe sleep practices and knew car seats were not safe for sleep, but she used it for that anyway out of convenience....

In a revealing essay in the Daily Mail, Liz admits that she is a chronic “overgiver,” which, she says, isn’t quite the same as being generous. Where someone with a generous heart might give and expect zero in return, an “overgiver” gives with the intention of being “petted and feted and praised and loved unconditionally for the rest of time.” Once Liz got rich, she began paying off her friends’ credit card bills, their mortgages, and buying them homes, cars, and plane tickets....
The day is admittedly a “dark” one focused on death rather than life. For some, this is a turn-off, but to me, it’s not only the best day of the year, it’s also an amazing birthday to have. If the veil between the living and dead is the thinnest on October 31, then what better day to make one’s entrance? My husband has never once been sorry he was born on Halloween, and even if you believe in the devil or the kind of darkness that makes people afraid of this day, it’s still not a bad day to be born....

Touching, holding, brushing, tugging, rubbing, squeezing, patting. Do your breasts need a restraining order against your toddler? Both my boys have gone through a stage of being fairly interested in my breasts (lots of looking, pointing, and reaching toward); however, neither have gotten super obsessed about them (thank God!). And yes, both were breastfed (my first for 15 months, one for 9 months). I was laughing the other morning when my 3-year old was walking around with my bra saying, “These are mommy’s bress…these are mommy’s bress…” At least, he knows the proper word for them....
First of all, let’s talk laundry. Because when you’re cloth-diapering, unless you have access to a diaper service (which you have to pay for, obviously), you are doing laundry ALL THE TIME. That is no exaggeration. I was washing diapers at least once a day, sometimes more when she was a newborn. And that was after pre-soaking and all the other rigmarole you have to go through to ensure the diapers don’t get stained....

The mom clarifies that she does not overfeed her daughter — “she has less than the average amount of formula and never finishes a bottle” — and that baby “only started weaning last week and has so far only had fruit, veg and Weetabix [cereal].” Not that underfeeding your infant is a good thing… Because an infant’s diet is mostly made up of milk, which is high in fat, they often get that wonderful chub on their legs....
For those not in the know, George is a monkey who lives with his constant companion, “The Man with the Yellow Hat.” He goes to candy stores and creates store installations, he paints walls and makes smoothies and he does it all with his best friend — an adult male who wears all yellow, has no friends, job or discernible life and spends all of his time with a monkey....

According to Miami-based dermatologist, Dr. Jill S. Waibel, dark circles under your eyes are caused by blood vessels that dilate under your skin. “This area of skin is extremely thin, which causes these blood vessels to be more noticeable,” she adds. Dark circles are also hereditary! “People who have dark eyes or pale skin are more prone to having bags under the eyes, as the darker pigmentation is more likely to show through,” she says....
Michelle Greer, a woman who spent time with the family at Myrtle Beach two weeks before the murders, told USA Today that Shanann was an engaged, involved, and loving mother, whereas Chris seemed eerily distant. “She was wonderful with the girls,” Greer said. “She told me she was expecting; she was very happy. She was very engaged with her little girls. … He didn’t seem engaged at all. There wasn’t any affection....
Benjamin arrived weighing 8 pounds, 3 ounces at a hospital in Florida, and the family is said to be doing well. But whether it was Preston who actually delivered the baby is the question many are asking. Her whole pregnancy — or lack thereof — has been the source of many rumors and much speculation. The rep’s statement is pretty vague and doesn’t mention Preston actually giving birth, which doesn’t do much to squash rumors for those who are looking for any signs of some pregnancy conspiracy theory....
