I think everyone should have to re-test for their driver's license at 65 and every five years after that.

Not sure if this is an UO.........I just read that Massachusetts banned hospitals from giving formula goodie bags that are provided by the formula company. I appreciated the heck out of my goodie bag. I was determined to breastfeed but my milk never came in, I decided that formula was a better option for my family. I think all that matters is that your LO is healthy and gaining weight. I do not understand why the government thinks they should make such personal choices for women. Reading stuff like that can make women that formula feed feel like failures. I am in no shape, form, or fashion trying to have debate over breastfeeding versus formula feeding. I am just adding my 2 cents that banning goodie bags is ridiculous.
I liked mine, too, even though I BF.
That can of formula is going to get me some good food and antibiotics after doomsday happens.

Ari was born in probably the largest hospital in Boston... I had no idea hospitals even give goody bags of formula. My hospital did ask several times if I was bfing are formula feeding, which I always replied bfing.

On my way out they gave me several phone numbers to call for breast feeding help and said that if there were problems with my milk that the bf support would help with formula as well.

I don't care for ranch dressing and I don't feel the need to put it on everything

In Texas it's THE condiment. I don't know if you'd make it here.

I wish I really felt this way. I do. I love ranch dressing, but I hate how it is possibly one of the worst things for you.
High Protein Ranch Dressing from Leigh Peele
Fat Free Fage Yogurt 0% - 100g
Fat Free Sour Cream - 70g
1/2 tsp Dried Parsley
1/8 tsp Dill Weed
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
2 Tbsp Water
It's pretty delicious.

Thanks

My hospital banned this and Bloomberg is trying to get it banned in all NYC hospitals. I EBF but I still don't think it's right to make formula feeders feel like they are doing something wrong.

I agree that he is not funny, and all of his movies are pretty much the same...however, I have only one exception. I LOVE Anchorman. I freaking love that movie.

Breakfast is fantastic.

Brunch is better because you can drink.

Brunch for dinner is the best.

My UO--my relationship with my husband is still my most important relationship. I love my baby unconditionally, but I will encourage him to sleep in his own bed and room (and also work on keeping bedtime fairly short) because I need that time with my DH ALONE. Even if we only stay awake for 15 minutes once the kid goes to bed--those are the best 15 minutes. My DH rocks and I want to make sure we keep our relationship working.

I couldn't wait for H and me to get back into the same bed together every night, but I don't feel like that means my relationship w/ H is more important than my relationship with DD. They are just different kinds of relationships, and you have to nurture both. It's like the world wants us to pick one over the other, and I just don''t see it like that.

Ladies, ladies, there is a compromise in the breakfast vs. lunch battle, and it's that glorious bastion of day drinking known as BRUNCH.

OMG. I am going to equate my reaction to this to your reaction to me never seeing Star Wars. Seriously, missing out on brunch for this long of your life is a tragedy!

There is this AMAZING place known for brunch in Detroit that does bottomless Bloody Marys and mimosas and they have the BEST French toast stuffed with marscapone cheese. Their eggs benedict are to.die.for. OMG I want some now...

That is really what I think, but I have a lot of people IRL that act as though there is NOTHING more important than the baby and you should do whatever is easiest/most natural for the baby before everything else. I'm sure Thad would be really happy if I rocked him for an hour every night, but then I would get no time for H. That isn't ok, so Thad gets 10 minutes of rocking.

I just remembered my uo!!! I don't like eating meat when I can tell it was alive. So I can't eat anything if the bone is still on it like ribs or chicken legs. I love meat too much to not eat it, but as long as I can't tell what body part it is, I'm okay for the most part.

1. Brunch is my favorite hobby.

2. Cheeseburgers for breakfast sounds delicious.

3. I actually do think skinny jeans can look good on most people even if you are overweight. It's all about what shirt and shoes you wear. I rocked maternity skinny jeans my entire pregnancy.

4. I love both ketchup and ranch and could eat them on anything, including my own arm.

5. I thought cones were stupid until I realized I could eat one and push a stroller around at the same time.

I think my main issue with skinny jeans is that they are so very 80s-riffic to me and I just haaaate most of the 80s fashions...we've already suffered through that decade- must we again?!!

I was at Beth Israel.

I've actually heard that they weren't giving samples anymore- I thought this was an older thing. I just didn't realize other hospitals did give goody bags.

I received a ton of formula samples in the mail and just assumed they got my name from either hospital registration or BRU.

Also! Pinterest makes me crazy. I was on earlier today and there was a "tutorial" on how to "make your own bathroom mat". I clicked it and found the directions:

1. Buy a rug

2. Buy a stencil

3. Stencil a pattern on said rug with paint that you also purchase

Really?? It cost this lady like $30+ to make a sh!tty looking bath mat that I imagine would get paint crumbs all over your feet if you used it for any extended period of time. Andplusalso, this does not count as DIY in my mind. DIY, to me, saves you money and is better than buying the item outright because you made it.

AND people who think Marilyn Monroe is a role model are ridiculous. You know she slept with the president right? While he was married? And had how many other extramarital affairs? And you are dressing your daughter like her and posting the pictures on pinterest why?

I disagree. Bed sharing and maintaining a healthy relationship with my spouse are not mutually exclusive whatsoever. Bedsharing was and will continue to be a mutual decision and we maintain balance between parenting and our adult relationship.

Breakfast is gross, brunch is crowded and over priced, and the phrase "breakfast for dinner" makes me squirm,
