Where Are They Now? Toddler Version.
Ever watch the VH1 show, Where Are They Now? It's about what yesterday's celebrity is doing today. For example, Vanilla Ice twenty years ago? Rapping. Or trying to. Source Today?

We Are Family
We are a baseball family. I know some of you will read that and think Gah! Baseball is too slow! There's no hard hitting action. But what the sport lacks in physical contact, it makes up for in heart. In history. And in the hot dog gun. Extra innings. Inside-out-hat rallies. Grand ... » Learn More about We Are Family

Some would be wrong. If I am ... » Learn More about You Have a Beautiful Cervix

Oversharing: Baby Fingers, Mommy’s Kisses, and a Date with the Porcelain Throne
This is a rare Oversharing moment; Meredith is officially an IRL (in real life, for my dad) pal because I bunked with her at the Scary Mommy meet-and-greet a few months ago.

12 Years Ago
I was walking to my first class of the day, American Literature I think it was. I distinctly remember thinking how oddly quiet it was, and I took note of how many people I saw on their cellphones. Most of whom were crying. My first thought? Break-ups. College was drama, so I chalked it up to love ... » Learn More about 12 Years Ago
Oversharing: They Say Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. But PhotoShop Can’t Hurt
I'm pretty much in love with today's Oversharer. Vikki Claflin is one funny broad, but she's also quite possibly the happiest, most optimistic writer I have ever read. Must be why everyone is gobbling her up, namely the infamous Erma Bombeck's Writers' Workshop. Vikki has flexed her writing muscles ... » Learn More about Oversharing: They Say Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. But PhotoShop Can’t Hurt
