Is there is no sadder reminder of summer gone by than old highlights framing your pale face? Faded and wispy, they clash with their darker outgrown roots.

Putting a baby to sleep is a very simple task, though for some reason, it befuddles new parents everywhere. Adam and I have managed to get Lucy to sleep for as long as 20 minutes straight using this simple, nonpatented formula. It’s revolutionary, really. If I had the time, I’d write a book about it, [...]
