Why Moms Everywhere Aren't Sure It's A Good Thing

Mothers everywhere are sharing their opinions about a new controversial topic: Whether or not it's a good idea to glue bows onto the heads of babies in order to make identifying their gender easier. Some mothers absolutely love the idea and they think it's an easy way to make their babies look cute and feminine. Others just don't care for the idea of putting glue on a baby's head and don't want anything to do with it. Those that don't do this, though, seem to harshly criticize the parents that do.

Now before you start worrying about people using super glue to put bows onto their children, you might want to know what they're actually using - Girlie Glue.

Girlie Glue is a sticky paste made out of agave nectar and water (which makes it chemical free and organic) and is easy to wash out with water or can be wiped off with baby wipes. However, the idea of gluing accessories onto female babies (which is what Girlie Glue is geared towards) doesn't seem right to some people.

Don't get me wrong, I think bows and headbands on babies are really cute. However, I personally do not see the appeal in gluing a bow to a baby's head just so people can identify the gender. What's the point? Most babies look like cute little potatoes anyway. There's just no sense in putting a bow on a potato.

I looked up the product reviews on Amazon and they are overwhelmingly positive. 91% of customers gave a five-star review. While scrolling through the reviews, I found that not only are parents using Girlie Glue on their human babies but on their furry children as well.

I saw how pet moms and dads used the product on their fur-babies and they absolutely love it! The glue seems to stick better on animals than it does human babies because animals have more hair for the glue to stick. If this is something you might be interested in, it makes for incredibly adorable pictures of your favorite dog or cat. From what I've read, you can also just as easily get the glue left over in your baby's fur as other parents get the glue out of their human baby's hair (again, with warm water or baby wipes). Perhaps the inventor of Girlie Glue is marketing the product towards the wrong group.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
