People never give Disney villains the credit they deserve. After all, many of the “evil” women are actually more complex versions of the princesses we love so much. Whether or not you think they’re worth at least a sliver of admiration, you have to admit that they have some pretty cool names. And if any pregnant Disney fanatics need a sassy moniker for their little feisty queens, here are a few worth considering. 1.

I am one of those moms who eat a pretty healthy diet about 90% of the time. I make nutritious meals at home, and whenever I go out to a restaurant, I usually order a salad or a piece of grilled fish or grilled chicken. I mean, as a mom in her early 40s, I don’t have the luxury of eating anything I want without it immediately showing up on my hips.

One of the most frustrating ironies of being a plus-size person is when people constantly berate us about hitting the gym but refuse to make that space safe for us or give us clothes to wear there. For many people, working out isn't all about reducing their size — it's about keeping their bodies moving and as healthy as possible. That includes plus-size women, too.

We know exactly what you’re thinking: You really don’t want to get a minivan, but it just seems so convenient. You’ve also got your eye on those three-row SUVs, which might be just as good as a minivan without the soccer mom feel. So what exactly are the main differences between the two? Let us break it down for you: Minivans have a sliding door — SUVs do not. This is the No. 1 reason many parents cite for making the switch to Minivan Land.

Every child is different and moves at his or her own pace. Unfortunately for moms, there isn’t a play-by-play book that applies to all kids at all times. So sometimes we end up worrying if our little ones are “on the right track.

The decision to try for another baby is a big one. So how do you truly ever know if you’re ready? Real moms talked to us about how they knew it was time for Baby No. 2. Kat says, “One day, I saw my son playing alone in our living room and talking to himself as though he was his own playmate. It was then when I knew we needed to become a family of four." Mom Manda makes a good point.

By the time 10:30 a.m. rolls around, you've practically lived an entire life. You got yourself, your kids, and your partner dressed, fed, and out the door. You sat in unnecessarily heavy traffic, you spilled your coffee on your favorite blouse, and you somehow managed to empty your inbox.

Being pregnant in the summer — especially REALLY pregnant — is tough, without a doubt. The heat feels extra hot, the swelling is awful, and, man, do you miss those sweet summer cocktails. But the good news is that it isn’t all bad. Here are a few bonuses to being pregnant in the hot summer months. 1. There is no pressure to have a perfect beach body. Not that you should pay attention to this anyway, but rocking a bump in a swimsuit looks cute on every woman. 2.

The time that every parent dreads has arrived: potty training! But before you freak out, we’ve got some awesome hacks to help make the whole process a little more bearable: If you’re toting around a portable potty in your car, make sure to place an open diaper inside before your kid uses it to make cleanup a total breeze! No one wants to be driving around with a poopy potty in the back! If you’re potty-training a boy, toss some Cheerios in the toilet before he goes to help him improve his aim! Carry sticky notes in your bag for those times when you have to use a public restroom....

As the resident family klutz, I have broken more glasses and dishes in my lifetime than I care to count. It's never been a hugely big deal, save for the inconvenience of losing a dish and having to clean it up.

Because I am literally never going to change (I've accepted it, and everyone else should, too), it's a good idea to have a foolproof cleanup method.
