It’s that time of the year again. I love Easter time–from the pastel colors and pretty dresses to Easter egg hunts and the infamous bunny. When I was growing up, my mom always went all out for Easter. We would wake up to huge Easter egg baskets and breakfast. Then we would go to church, […]

Alicia Silverstone–remember her? Cher from Clueless. Well, she posted a video of herself feeding her baby, Bear in a very interesting way.
