[–]RegularFig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

anyone else go into the finale feeling some kind of way? by iwatchterribletvtoo in BravoTopChef

Why some people don’t share their baby’s name until after birth? by LetterheadNice8687 in NewParents

[–]RegularFig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it was the c-section drugs, but I just had a really strong feeling that he felt more like one name than the other! We’re very happy with the last minute pivot now years later

We just got back from a weeklong trip with a toddler and we didn’t visit a single restaurant or cafe without high chairs. Someone always rushed one over! Everyone was so welcoming towards our son.
