I Want You To Love Your Messy, Chaotic, Normal Home

We've got somebody new on the site today: Emily Feret, whose face you might recognize from TikTok, where she is on a mission. Like so many of us, she downloaded the app and got sucked into the endless stream of perfect living rooms, organized pantries, and gorgeous playrooms. Her life is…not that: "Glancing around me, the differences were almost comical. I looked at my small house: paint chipping. Blinds broken. The washer was running, the load inside was being washed for the third time because I forgot, and the clothes had started to smell. I could not remember the last time my sink had been dish free."

But then, whose is? And now she wants to help the rest of us appreciate our everyday homes – and normalize normal. Read it and embrace your laundry mountains.

In this month's Ask A MWLTF, our columnist Penelope is talking to a mom whose daughter is about to have sex ed in class… but already knows all about it. And they're both wondering: What even is "the talk" anymore? You'll find this one really useful, and probably reassuring! I certainly did.
