Sometimes You Just Have To Hide In The Bathroom
[[link removed]]
Hi there! I’m Kelly, and I’m the new executive editor here at Scary Mommy.
Starting today, I’ll be the voice of Scary Mommy’s daily newsletter, popping
into your inbox every afternoon and telling you about what’s been happening on
the site — because if you’re like me, you’re snatching your reading time in
snippets, standing bleary-eyed over the coffee pot or sitting on the toilet.

As a vocal and enthusiastic fan
[[link removed]]

My New Mom Mantra Is S*** Happens. Here’s Why.
[[link removed]]
Ah, the great outdoors! Who among us hasn’t trekked the kids to the playground,
only to have the whole outing go horribly awry in the most spectacular fashion.
For writer Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, who was just trying to ride the line
