hey lady! as everyone’s favorite tumblr stylist, i’d love your help with my latest fashion search. i’d like to wear a fun, flirty-but-not-too-sexy dress for an upcoming shower (it’s at a mexican restaurant in the evening). i’m thinking one-sleeved, bright color, paired…

Confession: pretty sure I like being complimented by pretty girls better than being complimented by guys. Or by busted girls.
It takes a very confident and secure pretty girl to compliment another pretty girl instead of doing the great-hair-hate-your-shoes-critique.
I’m not that evolved, but maybe someday…
And in case you were wondering, I am definitely a pretty girl tonight,...
Life, by Caroline: Oh, How I Met Your Mother...... →
carolinek:
How I Met Your Mother has been really lovely lately. Like, curled up in a ball in the corner, crying like a small child, kind of lovely.
Tonight’s episode was about (and I don’t think this is a spoiler, because the theme comes out pretty quickly) loving someone and losing them and if your last…
I cried for a solid 30 minutes tonight, no thanks to HIMYM. I feel like I’m...
CAT: AWoman Telling her Daughter What To... →
mygabe:
We are sitting at lunch one day when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of “starting a family.” “We’re taking a survey,” she says half-joking. “Do you think I should have a baby?”
“It will change your life,” I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. “I know,” she…

wollmaus:
This is what I raved to V about.
I initially bought the 2.5 oz. bottle, which is really more bang for your buck (I’m generally always about bargain).
It took me roughly 9 months to get through it.
Mind you, in those 9 months I have been a redhead, brunette and blonde.
I have…

Omg - how did I miss the onset of H&M’s online store?!
I heart this place more than is normal, for sure, since their gauzy tunics single-handedly (or rather, double-armedly…?) saved me during pregnancy!
on mommy must-haves
So although I was 100% sure that I’d be the chicest mom ever, starting the in delivery room, the boys’ early arrival threw off that plan. Instead, I ended up having to check the mail each day for shipments of chic-making supplies, baby on my flannel pajama-clad hip.
At any rate, since I thought that maybe the many-many mom-to-be-bloggers might benefit from it, these are the items...
Retracted autism study an 'elaborate fraud,'... →
spoonfulofvigor:
This is sort of old news to me as my old teaching notes indicate I lectured about this in the summer of 2009, but I think it’s VERY IMPORTANT news for everyone to read. Basically, the only ”empirical study” to link autism and vaccines was a big, BIG fraud. Wakefield (sorry, you don’t deserve the “Dr.” when you’ve caused the amount of detriment he’s caused) is a disgrace and...
on month one
The boys are one month old today, and I have a second to reflect on the last 31 days.
First: what other moms don’t tell you:
That sleep deprivation this intense makes you question everything: whether you made the right decision in deciding to get pregnant to begin with (even though doing so was all you thought of for two years straight), whether you are or can be a good enough mother to...
Go Pack, Go!
As I was born into a family of Green Bay Packer fanatics (seriously - my grandma is in the Packer Hall of Fame as the 2007 Fan of the Year) (she was inducted alongside Reggie White) (my dad also has a Packer tattoo from when he and Granny saw them win the Superbowl in NOLA) (yes - he somehow managed to afford a ticket even though my parents were broke) (they’re not broke anymore, in case you...
