Dear Family: Please Stop Asking Me When I'll Have Kids
If I had a dollar for every time my family members ask when I'm planning on having children, I just might be able to pay off my student loans. OK, that's a bit dramatic, but you get my point.

Stop Making Your Bed—Try Rest Instead
Productivity gurus around the world will recommend that the first task of any day should be to make your bed if you genuinely want to start your day off with the right mindset to be productive. Many of these individuals also recommend that you get out of bed as early as possible and never, ever snooze your alarm. The "right mindset" appears to be geared heavily towards conquering several important tasks in a day lest there be total financial collapse, while still squeezing in a few less important tasks as well. For context though, this advice is often given by financially wealthy individuals, those who aspire to be wealthy or successful in their field of choice, or those with highly competitive natures. What they say seems to suggest that they view every task as a challenge to be taken head-on. I sometimes wonder if any of the more aggressive ones jump out of bed, hit the floor with perfect posture, flex for good measure, and then run into the bathroom to dominate their toilets and their toothbrushes.

This Toddler Has The Best Opening Line I’ve Ever Heard

Nappy New Year!
I know. I know….cheesy title right? But I had to do it because it just fit all too well—and this is a guide on how to get in more naps this New Year. Yes that’s right, that painfully dreaded word, by anyone under the age of 18 that is. I remember being under eighteen—once. My parents would go on a much needed respite from parenting and leave us with our Aunt Monica. She was single and never had any children of her own, but somehow she “knew” parenting at best required every non-adult (that’s 17 and under) to take afternoon naps. Not sure what parenting magazine she was reading, but it was enforced like a cop on quota (no offense to cops…we all have a job to do)! It never failed and we always went down kicking and screaming. Now that I’m a parent, I understand the STRICT enforcement—it gives the “adult” (that’s me) a break…and maybe it does some good for the kid too! As you age and hit adulthood the NAP becomes a cherished and sought after thing. No longer are you going down kicking and screaming; you are kicking and screaming to go down, even if it’s for just 10 minutes. Crazy how things change…right? Or did they change at all?

On Hating, Embracing, And Trying To Undo Becoming A Basic Bitch
When I first heard the phrase ‘basic bitch’, I instantly despised the entire concept of yet another tactic of shaming women. We experience pressure from all angles, and the idea of slating those not subscribing to the performative ideals imposed on us personally deflated me. I’ll freely admit to holding myself to impossibly high standards and then feeling low when I couldn’t reach them, any degree of positive progress was never good enough if it was any less than perfect- something I encourage others to let go of. I think maybe on some level, I felt so irked by the basic bitch tag because that’s how I viewed myself.

5 Ways to Show Candidates That You Respect Their Time
When we talk about recruitment, we often talk about the "candidates' experience". This expression is, in fact, one of the most important factors in attracting talent to an organization, because the definition of the candidate's experience is "how the candidates feel about your company after experiencing the hiring process", and these Candidates' feelings, whether good or bad, influence their decision to apply to your company or accept the job offer.
