Many, many women have spent their entire lives knowing that one day, they’ll be a mother themselves. They crave the pregnancy, the sweet little baby, and little people to love them and call them mama. There are also a good number of women who have never dreamed that dream, and thanks to the way society is...

I imagine that teachers who have been in the business for awhile (or even a single year) have more than one example of a moment when they were dealing with something that wasn’t covered under their paltry salary. In fact, most of what they do is worth more money, but I digress. These 15 teachers are able...

Happy-making is the best part of my job, y’all, and if we can get it done with a short list of memes, why not take the leap? If you’re a meme lover, or just someone who enjoys a good chuckle now and again, you won’t regret taking a few minutes to scroll through this list...

If there’s one thing my true crime obsession has taught me, it’s that you can never truly know another person – not 100%. You could be related, or you could have been friends for years, but absolutely everyone has secrets they will probably never reveal. This can be especially scary when you’re a woman in...

Capitalism (and Amazon) have convinced us that there’s a handy product for every scenario – cleaning included – but back in the day folks had to figure out how to tidy and spruce and de-grime their spaces and things on their own. If you’re looking for cheaper, faster, and effective alternatives to a cabinet full...

Anyone who has spent time around kids knows one thing for sure – you can never guess what’s going to come out of their mouth next. They say the funniest things, and on the flip side, the creepiest, weirdest things you’ve ever heard in you life – and I’m guessing these 14 people spent at...

We all love our kids, but there are also times when they say things that make us want to run screaming the other direction (and definitely lock our doors at night). There’s probably nothing more to these types of eerie comments than overactive little imaginations, but then again, maybe there is – and I bet...

Listen, I know there are technically scarier animals in the world than birds, but they totally freak me out. They’re too smart for their own good, they can fly, and something about their beaks really weird me out. Geese are definitely birds you don’t want to mess with – people say the nice people of...

Even if we all know that stereotypes aren’t fair and don’t describe every individual in  given group, there is a reason that we employ them on a regular basis – largely because they’re funny. Also, though, a large portion of that group probably does identify, and if you’re a millennial, there’s a really good chance you...

Home shopping can be super daunting, whether it’s your first time or not. The thing is, most of us only buy a couple of homes in our lifetime, so we can forget all of the things we swore we were going to remember by the time “the next time” actually rolls around. So it’s great...

Thanks to technology, pretty much every aspect of our lives has changed immensely – and quickly – within a single lifetime. A person who is in their eighties or nineties today could never have dreamed what the world would look like between their childhood and the their old age. Cleaning advice has changed, too –...

It can be hard to be surprised some days, you know? In the age of the internet it can seem as if we’ve seen and heard it all, and looking things up is as easy as pressing a button or even just asking Alexa. There are mysteries out there in the universe, though, and we’re...

Listen, there’s no doubt in my mind that we’re all individuals – even if we were born within the same decade. Being a millennial doesn’t mean you’re programmed like a robot, right? True, but listen – the era you were born does have more than a little to do with your upbringing, personality, and experience,...

No one likes to hear that the only reason you supposedly can’t understand a feeling or a piece of advice is because you’re too young. That said, experience is the best teacher, and there really are some things everyone has to learn in their own time – like these 15, all totally true. 15. Both...

I’m sure that, by now, most of us realize that when you’re talking to someone who graduated from Harvard, they’re definitely going to tell you at some point that they graduated from Harvard. This Harvard alum accepted a date with a guy who posted on his online profile that he was also an alum, and...
