But we keep getting married! We tell ourselves we’re the exceptions. We believe we can have the fairy tale, life-long romance. But that doesn’t always quash the fears. You’d have to be living under a rock to not have some doubt leading up to your wedding these days. But it’s not like we can TALK about it, right? I mean, come on! Acknowledge and admit we’re feeling insecure, overwhelmed, terrified about making a life-long commitment?...
Or maybe you don’t want your toys back, but need a little extra money. Either way, it may sting to know that had you kept your childhood toys new in their box, they could fetch a pretty penny on eBay in 2015! Then again, why would any child have thought that way when all they saw was a fun new toy to play with? If you could go back in time and tell your little kid self to leave that Cabbage Patch doll in the box, would you?...
The five skin artists left in the running to win the competition on the Game Show Network program were given a surprising mission. They were paired up with a volunteer from the Young Survival Coalition, a nonprofit that helps women diagnosed with breast cancer increase their length and quality of life. After hearing about the tremendous physical and emotional journey they’d gone through, each artist was tasked with painting a representation of that touching story directly onto the survivor’s body....
“Every baby is different. I’ve seen a baby at 9 months take a bite out of his mom’s hamburger and also a baby at 9 months that can’t tolerate stage 2 baby food yet. “If your baby is truly gagging, even on the thinner stuff, bring it up with the pediatrician. There are some medical issues — such as developmental delays — that are presented with not being able to swallow correctly and coordinate the timing....
No, I’m not talking about baby bikinis, but I’d be happy if those disappeared off the planet yesterday. I’m talking about bathing suits that expose baby skin that doesn’t need to be exposed. I’ve got some ideas to help you choose the right swimsuit and sun-protecting accessories for your baby. Babies have thinner skin than adults, which means they can burn a lot quicker than you’d think. It also is more serious in babies, who have a much larger skin ratio than we do as well, so preventing burns is very, very important....
Wait. If he gets fussy? Doesn’t everyone always sit in the back with their little one? To be honest, I enjoy sitting next to my daughter in the car, but I’ve realized recently that this practice may be slightly annoying to undo. My daughter now knows that if my husband and I are both getting in the car with her, I’m going to be seated right next to her car seat....
But here’s the thing: It’s scary easy to catch one through contaminated fruit, meat, or water, and I was determined to get rid of any — ahem — unwanted guests I might have picked up through the years. The cleanse basically started out as a means to my flat tummy right before a vacation, but almost immediately became more like a weird science experiment. More from CafeMom: 5 Fad Diets & the Scary Truth About What They Are Doing to Your Body As far as a cleanse goes, it’s an easy list — all you need is a “clean” diet full of fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains, and at least four to eight glasses of water daily....

The SF chapter of the National Organization for Women has filed a complaint with the police department alleging that Hooters is an adult establishment that markets and sells to minors in violation of city laws. They point to high chairs, balloons, and kids’ menus as evidence. Jezebel points out this may be the first time ever that a feminist group has complained about a restaurant being too kid-friendly. I have no idea what that means and I don’t want to know....
And at risk of sounding 100 percent trashtastic, allow me to say that I love the look. It’s dangerous yet safe. It’s sexy yet conservative. It’s kinda like seeing your boobs, and kinda like not seeing your boobs. Jen plays peek-a-boo better than anyone I know (remember that sheer skirt?) and I hope she keeps on keeping on. However, I do have one question. Is Jennifer Aniston’s battery dead? Because girl left her headlights on....

Which is why instead of ridiculing Mama June for her latest unhealthy monstrosity of the meal, I commend her. The reality star recently allowed cameras into her kitchen and showed them how to make her masterpiece “multimeal.” In it? Layers of hamburger meat, milk, mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, corn, and of course — butter. Sound caloric? Well yeah, that’s because it probably is. But it also looks like a meal that most moms can respect for a MAJOR reason: ease....
Like many women, the actress says she’s worn a range of sizes — from a 6 to a 12 and above. McCarthy noticed her options shrinking as the size numbers climbed. Turns out, she’s wanted to be a designer since she was a girl. She came to New York to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology, but stand-up comedy and stratospheric success on TV and film got in the way....
Alex knows that the moments your kid “adorably defies you” and says something hysterical is a beautiful reminder that being a parent is the best thing in the world and she wanted to remind other moms and dads of that. “I didn’t see it as oversharing my life for the sake of tweet. I saw it as a piece of the parenting experience that many of my followers would identify with,” she wrote....
After waiting nearly ten months to hold her baby girl, Aimee Green was finally able to meet her firstborn, Luna Valentina. However, this emotional moment happened only after the mom from England gave birth at home and found out that something was seriously wrong. She was rushed from her tranquil living room to the hospital, but told that nothing could be done to save Luna’s life. At first, this mom was hit with unbearable guilt but now the one thing she refuses to regret is her home birth....
I don’t even think I wanted my husband there because he doesn’t have a vagina and, therefore, what could he offer? And then the day came. And my mother and mother-in-law and husband were all there to offer support and encouragement. And I will never, ever have that many people present in the delivery room ever again.

It might just be the cutest commercial I’ve seen since the Super Bowl, and that’s saying something … most commercials featuring babies hawking products that aren’t kid-specific tend to creep me out (E*Trade baby, I’m looking at you!).

“Hey sweetheart,” he oozed. “What’s your name?” My first reaction was to tell him to toddle along because I was probably his mama’s age but instead I watered my reply down to just “Ms. Too Old For You.” He asked how old. I told him. His jaw dropped and his eyes got wide. “I knew you were a little older than me,” he confessed. “But I didn’t know you were that old....
