And yes, you can own this shower curtain! They sell everything on Etsy! Indoor plumbing may be the single best advancement in the history of mankind. In the past, unless you were lucky enough to live in a bathwater climate like Hawaii, bathing, washing or drinking often meant hacking a hole in the ice first. …
If I could do this I bet I would have been invited to a lot more parties! Or.. not. I used to be fun at parties. I could do stupid human tricks like stand on my head while tying a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue and then drop into the middle splits, …

Cartoon from the perpetually awesome Natalie Dee Constipation: Lots of people have it. No one talks about it. Yet everyone needs to poop. Indeed, I daresay that a decent dookie is one of life’s great pleasures – one everyone deserves to have, er, regularly. Spending half my life in bathrooms, as I do now that …
I wish. Crouched low over the bathtub, I laid my head against the cool wall as I switched the blowdryer to my other hand, careful to keep the hot air trained on a small, nubby, once-blue, now-damp baby blanket. “Are you done yet?” I heard my husband call over the sound of our son …

I’ve got news for you. You might want to sit down for this one. Despite what your mother probably told you, babies do not, in fact, grow in stomachs. (Dear children, women are not cannibals and we don’t eat our young. Usually. Don’t push me though, especially when it comes to bedtime.) But do you …

There are many healthy activities that I wish I could do but for various reasons can’t get away with. Take running at night – it feels like flying but there are myriad safety issues. And now that I’m a responsible mom-person, I can’t risk a twisted ankle or, worse, a mom-napping. I’d also love to …
