An Apple a Day…
You’ve been eating apples entirely wrong. Did you know you’re supposed to eat the core AND the seeds? Nicole explained why scientists think that eating the entire apple is better for you than tossing the middle away. We aren’t sure we’d try this, but it could be the way of the future!
Disney World: The Happiest Place on Earth?
Not if you’re one mom who posted a RANT on Instagram about how terrible it was that childless people and Millennials get to go to Disney World. The incident happened back in September but it’s just recently gone viral. While we find A LOT of things wrong with the horrible things this woman said, the most important part of all this is to remember that she was upset because her kid had to wait in line for a Mickey soft pretzel. Once you hear our reactions, what do you think? Do you agree with us? We think perhaps this woman should be banned from Disney for her less than happy attitude.
Wedding Crowdfunding?
Let’s just start with this: there are VERY VERY VERY few circumstances when asking strangers to donate money so you can throw a wedding are appropriate. So when Amanda Knox (famous for being accused, convicted, acquitted, convicted, and acquitted again of her roommate’s murder) posted asking for help, people were not happy. Was it her history that bothered people? Was it the fact that she just traveled to Italy and that money could have been spent towards a wedding? Was it that she and her fiancee are planning an elaborate extraterrestrial themed wedding instead of just a small ceremony and backyard barbecue? Yes. Yes to all the things. What do you think? What is an appropriate way to ask for money for your wedding? Is this an overreaction or did she do the wrong thing?
If you need (or want) more information on Amanda Knox, check out THIS ARTICLE on Marie Claire that also shares the trailer for the Netflix documentary.
The Worst Possible Time
We’ve all been there. You are standing helplessly by as someone you know (and maybe love) is doing something at absolutely the worst possible time and you are powerless to stop it. You know everyone is staring (and judging) but what can you do? You’re annoyed, embarrassed, and frustrated. If you can think of a time this happened to you, you can definitely relate to this photo of Princess Claire and Belgium’s Prince Laurent who took a phone call during the national anthem which was being played as part of a military parade.
What’s the most cringeworthy thing you’ve seen done at a very inopportune time? Share with us!
Parents are Humans Too
We just want to thank Snooki for keeping it SO real and posting a picture that we at The Ladies Auxiliary can totally relate to.
She got a LOT of heat for this photo and honestly, we don’t get it. Some days, this is just what being a mom looks like.
Nursery Rhymes with Carrie
When you have kids, or spend time with kids, suddenly the nursery rhymes of your own childhood are pulled from the depths of your memory to be shared again. Unfortunately, they often get stuck there, ear-worms that float around in your brain ALL DAY LONG. The more you think about them, the more confused you become. Your brain begins to analyze the words, the motives, the lessons. Well, Carrie is here to help and she’s starting with “The Three Little Kittens.” Here is the full text of the poem just in case you haven’t heard it, or it’s been awhile:
The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear,
That we have lost our mittens.”
“What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.”
“Meow, meow, meow.”
“Then you shall have no pie.”
The three little kittens, they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,
For we have found our mittens.”
“Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,
And you shall have some pie.”
“Purr, purr, purr,
Oh, let us have some pie.”
The three little kittens put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie,
“Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear,
That we have soiled our mittens.”
“What, soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!”
Then they began to sigh,
“Meow, meow, meow,”
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens, they washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry,
“Oh, mother dear, do you not hear,
That we have washed our mittens?”
“What, washed your mittens, then you’re good kittens,
But I smell a rat close by.”
“Meow, meow, meow,
We smell a rat close by.”
We theorize about the poem, but here’s another interpretation of what might have happened to those mittens…
The Bachelorette: Finale Recap
We all watched. We had out hearts broken right along with Peter and Tyler and Hannah. We felt like this was definitely one oft he craziest finales in Bachelorette history so we knew we had to bring in two Bachelorette experts, Ms. Carole and Amanda to help us analyze what really went down on finale night. They did a GREAT job summarizing what happened and sharing their opinions!
We don’t have much more to say about any of this, except if your greatest accomplishment to date is a dog food jingle, you can’t expect her dad to be TOO excited about your prospects. And leave it Bachelor nation to go digging up the commercial. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure…
With Jed out of the picture, our girl Hannah can move on to bigger, better, dreamier things like…
Tyler. Honestly, there is no bad ending here. Tyler gets back together with Hannah? Win. Tyler becomes the Bachelor? Win. We are all for any of these scenarios. We love Tyler and Hannah so much, we just want them both to be happy and we want to see MORE MORE MORE of them.
In closing, thank you Hannah for being the BEST Bachelorette we have seen in a LONG LONG time. We had the best time watching you be unapologetically yourself this season and we hope you find happiness forever!
Thanks for joining us and a BIG thanks to our special interview guests! Don’t forget to find us on Spotify, iTunes, and social media and give us a follow. Cheers!
