That she … did. In her post, cheekily entitled “A Tale of Two Titties,” Melissa announces that she’s having her breast implants removed, because: She reflects on how many years ago, after breastfeeding her son Dakota, her husband remarked that her breasts were “socks full of marbles with knots at the top.” What the …?! But it’s what set the wheels in motion for her to get her breasts augmented “without doing any research,” she writes....

“Old-school tattoos were heavier because the needles were heavier,” she said. title: “Minimal Line Tattoos” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-22” author: “Thelma Riley” “Old-school tattoos were heavier because the needles were heavier,” she said.

Literally. Cops in North Carolina say Clay used her own tools to put a mark on the tween’s skin that will be there forever — or until someone coughs up the money for laser removal. Come on, hasn’t she ever heard of fake tattoos? Or maybe the word “No”? I’m not some skin ink hating prude here; my husband has two. But he’s a grown man who was in his 20s and a father the first time he got inked....

OMG! How could this have happened? Oh I know. The mother is black and the father is white. So you have fraternal twins who don’t look a lot alike. This isn’t that unusual and Jezebel agrees. My twins don’t look a lot alike. In fact, Penelope is more olive skinned with brown eyes and looks a lot like me. Hunter is fair and blond and has blue eyes like my husband....

Unfortunately, this husband’s problematic thoughts on vaccination illustrate the kind of dangerous misinformation that has lead to a growing number of parents refusing vaccinations and, in turn, leaving vulnerable populations susceptible to outbreaks of diseases that were, at one point, almost eradicated. “It’s alarming to see the rise in exemption rates across this country, putting communities at greater risk,” said Amy Pisani, director of the vaccine-advocacy organization Every Child By Two, recently told The Washington Post....

After yet another heartbreaking miscarriage, they sought medical help again, and this time, they conceived six babies. “I was scared to death. I’m a smaller framed girl, and my first thoughts were on how I was going to successfully get six kids here without something happening to them or me,” she said. “There was a lot of fear. We didn’t know what to do or think.” More from CafeMom: Mom Found ‘Decomposing’ Forgotten Bandages in Her Vagina 7 Weeks After Giving Birth However, she made it longer than expected and started having contractions just shy of 30 weeks....

That was the struggle one mom from Massachusetts faced when her son started telling her that he wanted to be a girl. Adrienne Anzelmo wasn’t sure how to guide her child through his journey, but ultimately it was her love for her child that saw her through. “He didn’t play with toys the same or get excited about the same type of things,” Adrienne said. “Matty always wanted things that were pink and items that sparkled....

“A few years ago if you had told me I would be painting pregnant tummies on a daily basis, I would not have believed you,” Carrion tells CafeMom. But after a pregnant friend asked the artist to paint her, a business was born — and now, Carrion couldn’t be more thrilled. “I’m so happy to share this experience with future moms,” she said.

I am 23 years old, with two children of my own. One is 2 years old, the other is 2 months old. Thankfully I’ve never struggled with low supply for either of my babies. And as of right now from my 2-month-old, I have 1000 ounces stashed in the deep-freezer. My mom, Trisha Hernandez, felt her water break yesterday at 11 a.m. and my little brother, Mr. James, was born at 10:27 a....

And men refer to their penises by name in conversation. Bobo can’t smell because he has no nose. Ralphie doesn’t care if your hair is dirty. Oh, Willy is very alert and standing at attention this morning. So why don’t women name their vaginas? And I don’t mean a slang name like bearded clam, fur burger or see-you-next-Tuesday. And I hate hearing it referred to as my lady bits or my va-jay-jay....

But for the love of all that is holy and good in this world, ask an intelligent and successful friend to look over it before you print out 100 copies and start mailing them off. Hint: if their jaw drops, eyes go wide, and they refuse to make eye contact with you, that’s a BAD thing. If your Christmas card photo looks anything like these, run, don’t walk, to the shredder, and then try to get a photographer who isn’t high on crack to take your picture … one who also isn’t afraid to tell you you’re insane....

This Week’s Secret: My daughter is 4 months old now and has been diagnosed with acid reflux. All she does is cry. And cry. And cry. AND CRY. I’m a stay-at-home mom and at the end of my rope. I bounce her, we take walks, I try the swing, and on and on. But lately I have just been putting her in her crib, going into the bathroom, and running the shower....

I spent over 10 years of my life convinced that I’d never be able to conceive my own children. From the age of 14 and onwards, doctors seemingly couldn’t wait to tell me about the infertility rates of plus-size women, particularly those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) — a condition characterized by irregular periods and excess hormones in the body — like myself. Now, at 27, I wish I could go back and visit that first ob-byn — the one who told me I’d have to drop at least 70 pounds if ever I wanted to have kids in the future....

Maybe that’s what they should put on the gentian violet box? The easy over-the-counter fix for yeast infections doesn’t get marketed as a vagina fixer-upper, but that’s OK. Here’s betting it’s better than anything you’ve ever tried. And you’ve probably tried it all, haven’t you? About 75 percent of women will have at least one case of vaginal yeast in their lifetime, most will have more. Suddenly you’re itching between your legs so often that people are starting to wonder: if you’re really that obsessed with checking to see if it’s gone, have you had a sex change?...

I recently came across this awesome idea from CafeMom sgr123 in the Susie Homemaker group. This smart mom repurposed her daughter’s baby bedding into pretty accents for her toddler-ized room. Here’s what CafeMom sgr123 had to say about the baby bedding recycling project: “The crib bedding I have for my little girl is so sweet. It isn’t babyish at all. Very feminine and sweet. I had no use for the bumper and sheet since she is long out of a crib....

There are daytime pool parties and there are nighttime pool parties. And apparently sometimes during those after dark swims after the kids go to bed, things get R-rated. That’s what happened to Julie* and Kevin* when they started inviting their new neighbors over to use the pool. It started getting later and later. More drinks were poured. And the bathing suits came off. Time for some skinny dipping! Let’s hear what Julie has to say about all of this....

Sex toys can save your sanity! You thought we were going to suggest another license plate game, didn’t you? Seriously, we can’t take credit for this genius idea. A mom who left her kids in an Illinois hotel room while she got her rocks off in her van showed us the error of those license plate game ways. The kids were old enough to be alone, but when that van was a-rocking, the police came a-knocking....

“Online dating makes it easier to get dates in some aspects due to the nature of having hundreds of possibilities at your fingertips,” Kimberly Hershenson, a NYC-based therapist specializing in relationships, told CafeMom. “However, it can take a toll on an individual’s self-esteem. Your mood may become affected by how many people contact you. You may find yourself accepting dates from people you otherwise wouldn’t be interested in or are tolerating behaviors that would normally be unacceptable to you simply because anyone is showing interest in you....
