Niamh Reid’s 17-month-old daughter Doireann was enjoying a snack when the unthinkable happened. “Doireann was at her childminder’s and she was given a rice krispie bun with a little marshmallow,” Reid told the Independent. “But she started to choke and lost consciousness.” More from CafeMom: 7-Year-Old Fatally Mauled by 2 Pit Bulls in Tragic Accident It just so happened that the little girl was given the treat right before her parents were due to pick her up....

However, his mom is a doctor, and upon hearing the stressful news of the unexpected operation, he called her for support. Grandma-to-be quickly grabbed her hospital badge from home, and even though he didn’t ask her to come, she let herself into the ward during Mom’s surgery. “I wasn’t asked if it was okay if she could be there, and because I was being stitched up [in the operating room] still, she held my [dear daughter] before I even got to....

Between the grocery shopping, picking up the kids from summer camp, cooking, and cleaning, it’s easy to see why moms have it hard finding time to exercise. That’s why I love this countertop push-up exercise by Squeeze It In, you can do while you’re waiting for the noodles to boil. Stand with hands placed on the countertop shoulder width apart. Bend arms and lower chest to within a few inches of the countertop....

Because while those may be what makes a man sexy on the surface, it’s a different ball game once he’s your husband. As I settle into life as an “old” — okay, older — 30-something married lady, I’ve opened my eyes to a new kind of turn-on which has very little to do with my husband resembling a rom-com’s dashing lead and more to do with him resembling … a dad....

Also insulting: a word of advice dispensed at a friend’s bridal shower that left me with the wow-did-she-really-say-that? face. This chick stood up, toasted her sister — who was the one getting married — and made one simple suggestion: “Surround yourself with married friends. You’re a married woman now, so let go of anybody who might distract you.” Welp, I’ve been found out. That sure enough is my ulterior, underhanded motive....

Yep, the previous owners had cats and I’m going to go out on a limb and say they were not fans of the litter box. And our dog doesn’t like this either and shows her disapproval by peeing over the cat markers. Good times! I made it my mission to solve this problem that many deemed unsolvable, and without ripping out all of the carpet and investing in very expensive wood floors....

Well, the big news is that the 39 year-old adventurous foodie is pregnant with her first child! Padma was married to writer Salman Rushdie, but the couple split in 2007, and there is no one she is currently linked to. The Endometriosis Foundation of America was co-founded by Lakshmi, and she has suffered with the disease for years. Which makes me all the more happy for her baby news. I am super curious who the dad is…I wonder if he’s a chef, another acclaimed writer perhaps, or a guy next door type....

An investigative probe by Reuters and NBC News delved deep into underground “adoptions” that are really no more than people posting on the Internet that they don’t want their kids anymore and are looking for someone who does. Most of the time, but not all of the time, these kids were adopted from foreign countries. The children usually range in age from 6 to 14. Over a five-year period, Reuters found on average one child a week being “rehomed....

Turns out the federal government has been doing just that, for many women in fact. In a bad example of some of the flaws in our nation’s health care system, Medicare paid $395 a pop for vacuum erection systems for allegedly needy patients, including women. In total, Medicare paid out $28,600 to a couple of men in Florida who were running the fraudulent scheme. In one case, a single woman was approved for FOUR penis pumps....

One photo shows her son who seems to be around 5 pulling down her underwear and marveling at what he sees. The commentary on these photos ranges from people who see the beauty in them, the “depth of humanity,” then there are the ones that call it a “crotch shot” and “creepy” or “strange.” Some believe the child is going to need therapy as a result. I see a moment unique to motherhood in this image — in all Carucci’s images....

A handful of Redditors think they’ve found the one cure-all cream that’ll work for anyone with cystic acne. It will cost you next to nothing, so it’s worth a shot, right?

The religious group has been posting absolutely bats**t crazy messages on Facebook—just in time for Easter!—in which it lambasts women who have either opted for C-sections or allowed their doctors to give them one. They say women who have the procedure are taking the “lazy” way out and that women who give birth naturally are “superior” and deserve respect—though what I suppose they mean to say is that they deserve more respect that those who get C-sections:...

Make sure you and your toddler aren’t one of them. If your wee ones are like mine, they’ll try to persuade you to give them a go at the carving knife or tool. You’ll say, no, of course. No child under 5 or even older should ever handle sharp instruments. So how can they join in the fun while still staying safe? “Let them scoop out the “guts” … draw on the face that you are going to cut out … set the [unlit] light inside,” says Kimebs....

“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. Today’s sex confession comes from Zoe*, who is so freaked out about sharing this she doesn’t want to reveal anything about herself just in case someone she knows reads it and suspects it’s her....

For me, that journey began when I started style blogging. I wasn’t just styling outfits for myself, I was inspiring other women to dress as freely as possible, so I began wearing crop tops, bodycon dresses, skirts, and even sleeveless tops. I know that last one isn’t easy for a lot of us. But especially in the summer, it’s painful for me to see another woman sweating it out in a thick cardigan for no reason other than fear of what people might say/think about her arm fat....

It sounds weird, but it’s totally true–and it’s based on scientific research. Dr. Alan Hirsch, author of Scentsational Sex, measured women’s arousal when they whiffed certain scents. Blood flow to the vaginal area was strongest after smelling cucumbers and Good & Plenty candy. As for men, blood flow to their penis increased after catching scents of lavendar and pumpkin pie. Hmmm. Slicing up cucumbers and putting them under our noses isn’t exactly convenient or sexy....

Finally, the glam guru has given the people the tea they really want! “It has great emotional meaning to me,” she shared. “To me, it means everyone is included. Everyone is under the halo. Everyone is thought of and no one is left out. There is something for everyone. It’s an all-inclusive brand and I knew that that would be so important in every move that I made with this brand....

The “Keeping Up” star has dished out a lot of advice over the years: some good, some bad… and some that just feels like #lifegoals. From private planes to latex catsuits, here are Khloe’s top tips. “I had my team put together a list of sex positions that burn the most calories, because what’s more fun than getting down??? LOL,” she wrote on her website. Reverse cowgirl is the winner in Khloe’s book....

But I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Here are the best places I’ve found to hide sex toys. Just please don’t tell my kids! In a locked bedside table drawer. That way, the toy is always within reach whenever you’re feeling the itch to get down and dirty. If your kids get curious about it (mine have), just let them know that even adults are allowed to have secrets....

You know what they say: The bigger the hype, the bigger the let down. Here are 12 times we were all let down by brands this year: And they were right — after multiple damning reviews across the beauty community, the brush sets failed to sell out, unlike most of Jenner’s other launches. But once the collection’s anchor — a neutral eye shadow palette not too different from Too Faced’s others — was revealed, buyers were already moving on....
