As a plus-size woman rocking a fairly new mom-bod, I love me some dresses. Flowy, flattering — dresses are usually the comfiest and easiest outfit to throw on. However, because my thighs don’t even remotely have a gap, dresses in the warm summer sun also mean an insane amount of chub rub . I’ve tried every cream, powder, and hack to banish it from my life, but alas, the only thing that works is to wear shorts....
When we were younger, we loved talking on the phone. We could spend hours on a landline, chatting with friends while painting our nails, watching MTV, or even vacuuming if we had a super-long cord. The simplicity of a landline phone helped us learn important social skills that many kids today lack. One Seattle company wants to change that. Tin Can offers analog home phones for kids that use Wi-Fi calling with no frills....

When people are in long-term relationships , things change over time. As we age, we grow and become different versions of ourselves . That’s not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing.

For some people, the excitement and desire are just as intense 20 years into a relationship as they were two months in....

Blending families is almost always a challenge in some way. For the common parent, they have to find ways to make the children from their previous relationships feel that they’re still loved, while managing the feelings of their new partner.

Some days being fashionable just isn’t in the cards. The energy required to pull together an outfit is so far beyond the scope of reality, it’s almost laughable.

If you’re the type of person who wears dresses, you know that they can often be the perfect style solution....
