    Truth in advertising. Snort, that was easy. As far as I’m concerned, this is the best way to lose ever! Yes ;) A fantastic description of marriage. And motherhood. Yay!! New baby! Congrats to Frema! 11 pounds 4 ounces is either a typo, or your qualification for some sort of medal. Ouch.

    SNORT and watch your back — maybe it really was him? Good lord, Karly, I almost ruptured my spleen laughing. And here’s a hell of a plan. Amy made me cry. Wonderful story. Something important to teach your kids. Unless it is your kid on the receiving end of such stares. Then it is something…

    Recall (CORRECTED): Britax Regent car seats manufactured between 11/10/2005 and 6/18/07 have an important change to their installation instructions. This means these incredibly expensive seats will no longer work in some cars. If Britax is truly not offering any recourse to those affected, this is pretty amazing behavior from a company I used to respect.…

    Whoa, that’s quite ballsy. I’m thinking that long-term it is for the best. The short-term sure sucks though. Go read it. Today. And another bit of news you can use. The importance of strangers in my life comes out every day in blogging too. Nice to see it in person. Fabulous giveaway! SNORT! And everyone’s…

    Going to Blogher? Check in with Izzy. Check my sidebar to see when I’m going. “The other parents suddenly fixate on their shoes…” Fuck. I don’t have anything else. “Somehow, the handyman convinced me that this was my fault, although he did offer to drill a few holes in the ceiling free of charge, ‘to…

    Recalls / warnings: Adderall, Ritalin, Strattera and other ADHD drugs, Ambien, Lunesta, Restoril and other sleeping pills, Actimmune, Xolair, and Salivart Oral Moisturizer. More on the full feeds / partial feeds debate. (Yesterday’s debate was in these comments.) And I just have to say… way to go Melanie!!! Whoa, can you say “self-centered“?? Not unless…

    Oh no! Imagine 3 generations from now. Whoa… I have to say that this is an interesting complaint given the name of the blog! The title says it all, and I’m just glad it all turned out OK. Hey, she and I are kindred spirits. I tell my kids that I’ll set their bones myself.…

    Product recall: Disney Princess Easter Baskets. If you’re going to boil up a mess of eggs today like I am, give Kalyn’s tips a try. Oh, and duh, don’t give pet turtles to your kids. What a sweet photo. Amanda Congdon frightens me. Is she cool? Hip? Not insane? I couldn’t even get to the…

    This puts me in the mind of getting a pedicure for myself as well… Oooohhh, stubborn kids… I can relate. “Will it grow back when he’s older?” That’s a good one. I remember the baby-product lust — and it went away after I’d had kids and therefore had no time for shopping. “Your uterus is…

    Interesting spin on Britney. A good guilty pleasure post. Yes, “reporting” has hit a new low. As an adoptive mom I do appreciate your point — and it has me thinking. But come on Beth, fess up… who is it? Rob did a nice thing. Go check it out! Someone’s going to be calling Anthony…

    A “teacher” who tells a child with one hand to “USE TWO HANDS, USE TWO HANDS.” Sigh. Stop by and commiserate with Beth about stupid and insensitive people. On a much lighter note, this is a fantastic set of photos — I could not stop laughing! I’ll have to dig out our first Christmas picture…

    I’m sorry, this argument is ludicrous. Why would anyone in any circumstance change their baby on the table at a restaurant? Misguided activism, and really really gross. Edgy Mama has a fun challenge for you. OK it’s pretty good, but I can’t fit the phrase “Oh, Damagenation!” into conversation. Epidurals are da bomb! Thank you…

    Today’s GRIT is sponsored by Red Wine. No, I’m not drinking at 5am, you ass. I write these the night before. So thank god my husband is here to watch the kids, because, whee, you know… Now on to it. YES, Andria, YES! I am SO with you on this! If the cops are calling…
