Commercials for birth control always make me cringe.

My conversations with girlfriends certainly don’t sound like that! Which is why I love this SNL commercial “advertising” NuvaBling, a diamond-encrusted form of [...]

My lack of dance finesse has been noted multiple times over the years (mostly by myself, although I’m sure innocent bystanders have noticed too), so it’s not like when I became a mom I suddenly lost my dancing mojo. But as a mom, I know I am infinitely dorkier than I once was. Mostly it’s [...]

We’ve made jokes before about how men would handle the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. But have you ever stopped to think about what would happen if men did the breastfeeding? If it was at my house, I think the baby would go hungry, as my husband has an uncanny way of not hearing the [...]

This has absolutely nothing to do with fitness, bottoms or mamas, but it has everything to do with Thanksgiving. If you liked (or hated) the Friday viral video, you’ll love this one. It doesn’t get stuck in your head quite like the Friday one, but it just may have you grabbing a turkey drumstick today [...]

Modern Family is one of my favorite shows on TV. I may have mentioned it a time or two. I can’t pick my favorite character because I swear, they are all my favorite. And I love the dynamic between Claire and her step-mother Gloria. (How weird is that?) They genuinely get along and have a [...]
