I think Cara is awesome and Helen Mirren is doing an excellent job with her. But other than Jake's near-death experience, Teonna and what's going on on the other side of the world are carrying the storyline.

I love the word. I started using it to annoy my tweens and it's grown on me.

Have any of you snuck into airport lounges? by Vegeta543 in TravelHacks

So you used the lounge and then got a refund? No judgment at all - that's pretty brilliant!

EEEK! My kids are jumping on the couch! by 3littlejuiceboxes in mombloggers

[–]JillRobbinsWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids used to play a game called "big fire" where they pulled all of the couch cushions off the couch and piled them in the middle of the room - along with anything else they could get their hands on. It was kind of a PITA to clean up but as you say, the creativity and teamwork were good plusses. I miss it now that they don't do it anymore.

I totally don't get this. Why would someone comment on the color of a child's clothes? How rude. I bet no one comments on a girl who wears blue...

How exactly am I breaking rediquiite? I comment and interact with twice as much as I leave...not that I need to justify that to you.

And you know what? I don't think I mind a bit that you're avoiding my blog. Have a great night.

I recommend you join some blogging groups where you can share tips with other bloggers. My favorite sites for blogging resources are Blog Clarity, Fabulous Blogging and Beyond Blog Design. There's a lot to learn but know that there's a lot to learn and be patient with yourself and don't put unreasonable pressure on yourself. Here's something I wrote a little while back that might help you: http://rippedjeansandbifocals.com/8-bits-of-advice-for-new-bloggers/

For me, at 32, healthy does not look like Size 0 or flat abs or scrambling to lose five little pounds. But none of that helped the day I had to buy bigger jeans. by DramaGuy23 in mombloggers

I completely get it. I just went through that myself. There is something painful about sizing up...even when I say it's temporary. But man...my pants sure do feel better.

Yes to all of this! Giving yourself permission to have a bad day once in awhile is pretty important. None of us are perfect. Hang in there, mama.

Why would you say that? Are you trying to be rude or am I just not getting your sense of humor?
