Father of newest Duggar: 'We'll take it one at a time'
Fri Jun 14, 2013
- While I am not personally part of the "Quiverfull" movement, I do think it is nice to see families that view babies as blessings rather than burdens.
Chinese parents left childless do battle against one-child policy

- India's average fertility rate is 2.5, not much above replacement fertility. If you want to talk about countries with high fertility rates, try sub-Saharan Africa. Niger, Somalia, Zambia, Uganda, and Malawi all for average fertility rates of 6+. Also, Afghanistan (6.2).
People think they're eating less than they are, survey finds
Fri May 24, 2013
- Subway is only healthy if the diner makes good choices there. Their 6" Veggie Delite has 230 calories while their 6" Chicken & Bacon Ranch has 570. On the side, someone could have apple slices or a chocolate chip cookie. Coke or bottled water. Customers making poor choices is not Subway's fault, …
More brands find it's not a stretch to offer plus-size yoga attire
Mon May 13, 2013
- One of my sorority sisters is plus-sized AND a competitive triathlete. She may wear a 16 but she could out-exercise my scrawny size 6 self any day of the week! I lucked out in the genetics department; she did not (I've met her family).
When an uncommon name gets trendy: Leave my name alone!
Fri May 10, 2013
- Too funny! I also wanted to be Jenni, Jessi, or Juli (with a little heart over the "i") when I was a kid like so many of my friends. I have a name that was seen as way old-fashioned in the '80's but is fairly popular today. It's weird to see all these little girls running around with my name...
New rule makes it easier for stay-at-home partners to qualify for a credit card
Wed May 8, 2013
- In a community property state like mine, the spouse is legally entitled to half of the working spouse's salary. I'm a SAHM now but a few years ago I was the breadwinner while my hubby was a full-time grad student. We have been married for 15 years and legally all the money that was earned during our …
'Fatkini' blogger designs stylish plus-size bikinis
Wed May 1, 2013
- Bathing suit sizes are bizarre. I'm petite (5' 2.5" and 115 lbs.) and wear a 4 or 6 in regular clothes. But for a bathing suit I have to go up to a 14. My 10 y.o. daughter is 4' 8" and weighs around 70 lbs. She wears a girls' 10 or 12 in regular clothes. We just bought her a bathing suit yesterday a …
If (going to) weddings costs too much: Meet the refuseniks
Tue Apr 30, 2013
- I bought my bridesmaids their dresses because I knew that two of my closest friends couldn't have afforded to participate otherwise. The other two were better off, but I was still choosing the gowns that they may not have ever wanted to wear again (now that it's 15 years later I should ask if they e …
Missing Brown University student's family dragged into virally fueled false accusation in Boston
Fri Apr 19, 2013
- I hope that everything is okay with the missing student and I'm sorry that his family has had to endure added stress on top of the uncertainty of his whereabouts.
Have websites made all weddings look the same?
Wed Apr 3, 2013
- So instead of all the wedding magazines featuring the same lame-o trends, now it's Pinterest. Back when I got married in '98, the big trends were disposable cameras on the table and either blowing bubbles or releasing butterflies as the bride & groom exited the church. Oy!
