Look, I'm not saying McDonald's did this themselves, I'm just saying, a lot of the people that work there probably agree.

My decision to bed-share with my children despite potential SIDS risks has less to do with studies, and more to do with instinct.

I didn't get a lot of mothering as a child, but when I did, it was from her. She taught me how to sew, how to crochet. She taught me how to stand up for myself, to be tough. She taught me how to make fried chicken and fried okra, which I will never make, because it's fucking gross.

More and more programs are offering services to help companies support and retain women during their maternity transition.

Having kids doesn't have to mean the death of your sex life.

Our relationship has been a little complicated. I've loved you a lot, and I've loathed you at least that much, but mostly you've just gone unnoticed.

It doesn’t get any more difficult to insult ourselves, regardless of how old we are. It would be ideal if it got easier to respect ourselves, but it generally doesn’t do that either.
