This post has been sponsored by FIVE STAR® School Supplies. All thoughts and opinions are my own. My daughter is rough on school supplies.

Whoever Invented Underwire Hated Women…And I Had The Rash To Prove It
If you peeked into my underwear drawer you would find exactly one wired bra, but it's the one bra I refuse to wear. The only time I put that thing on is in the case of an end-of-the-world emergency, like when all my other bras are in the laundry and I don't want to venture outside braless (although sometime that argument still isn't strong enough to get me to put that cursed thing on). Sure, that bra makes my boobs look bigger and perkier, but I just can't tolerate that thing for more than a couple of minutes. I swear there are little tiny daggers sewn into the seams.

“So You Just Have The One?”
One of the things I hate about social media is the number of people who try to co-parent my child without actually being in her life.
