I'm So Glad I Let My Son Pick Our Baby's Name
 
“When we started tossing around baby names for our fourth son, I took note when my oldest, then 6, was extremely voicey and involved,” writes Alexandra Frost today. “I’d say, ‘How about Luke?’ He’d go, ‘NO NO way. That’s not happening. I have three Lukes in my class.’” 

They weren’t planning to totally hand him the reins… but it turns out the kid had a good idea. The winning idea, in fact. And she wasn’t prepared: “I didn’t really think through how much it would mean to him to come home and announce the name was his choice.” Give it a read.

WAIT, WHAT?
Oh, God — Your Dishwasher Has A Filter You Should Be Cleaning
 
“Dishwashers are fantastic. But there are still some things about them shrouded in mystery,” writes Amy Thetford today. “For example, you are technically supposed to ‘wash’ dishes before popping them in the device, but wouldn't that make them dish sanitizers instead of washers? (Not that most of us actually pre-wash....) Also, did you know your dishwasher has a filter that needs to be cleaned on a regular basis?” Wait — what? Let her tell you all about it.
