It’s safe to say that the collective we of Scary Mommy have been fans of the actor Melanie Lynskey for a long time. From Ever After to Sweet Home Alabama to Yellowjackets, she can do no wrong. So we were THRILLED when she agreed to a photo shoot and interview with us. In the great piece, Meaghan O’Connell talked to Melanie about her career, motherhood and her famously awesome relationship with her husband. You won’t want to miss it.

Confessions are a tried and true part of what makes Scary Mommy who we are. We allow you to anonymously write to us all about your lives – and a true sense of community has been fostered. This month’s batch of Confessions are no different: from nanny worries to sports, it seems as though moms are feeling *it* this month. Read and enjoy knowing you’re definitely not alone.
