Maddie Brown Shares New Baby Photo, Inspiring Words of Parental Wisdom

Simly put, you guys? Maddie Brown for all the wins. Seriously… every last one of them. The daughter Kody and Janelle Brown welcomed her second child into the world back on August 20. The blessed news was kept quiet for a short period of time, prior to the proud grandmother posting a picture of Maddie’s kids and writing as a caption: Axel loves his new little sister Evie (Short for Evangalynn)! Please tell me that other grandmothers can stare at their grandkids photos forever. #grandkids. Since then, Maddie has been kind enough to post a number of adorable pictures of little Evie, including this one immediately below, which features husband Caleb as well: We love it. We also love both the latest snapshot Maddie has published to her Instagram account, along with the amazing caption she included along with it. In the photo, as you’re about to see, little Evangalynn is wearing a floral top and donning a yellow bow. The photo went out to Maddie’s 220,000 followers, as did this simple and motivational sentence: I hope I raise her to think she breathes fire! Simply perfect, right? Both the little girl and also Maddie’s message here, that she wants Evie to grow up to be strong and confident and ready to take on the world. With Sister Wives set to premiere amidt a flurry of troubling rumors regarding Kody and his better halves, it’s refreshing to have some positive news once in relation to this family. It’s a welcome change, in our opinion. To keep the smiles flowing, here’s another look at Axel and Evie: “Someone once told me parenthood consists of a lot of long days and short years. Something that hits home so hard,” Brown wrote on Instagram back on September 12. She then shared several more thoughts about this unique time in her life. “Miss Evie is 3 weeks and and Axel is almost 2.5 and I feel like its all become one tiny little blur and time has robbed me,” she explained, continuing as follows: “How did my first baby get so big? Why is my second already almost a month old!?” We’re sure almost every parent out there has asked the same question at some point in his or her journey. Concluded Maddie in this message: Time is a theif and on days I get irrationally mad at what its robbing me of. I wish I could freeze it and soak up these babies just a little longer! No real reason I’m sharing this, other than to just share and say, enjoy your days and love on your family members. Amen, Maddie. Just… amen.

Joy-Anna Duggar: Did She REALLY Skip Her Son’s Birthday?!

From the moment Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth , the relationship has been mired in controversy. In fact, the scandalous scrutiny began well before the wedding, as it was widely rumored that Joy-Anna had gotten pregnant prior to tying the knot — a major no-no under the Duggars’ ultra-conservative belief system. The controversy has only continued in the years since Joy and Austin tied the knot. Based on Joy’s social media posts, fans have alleged that she and Austin are living in a trailer despite the fact that they’re now raising a child and hoping to welcome a second soon. They argue that she and Austin are both too young (Joy was just 19 when she welcomed baby Gideon.) and immature and financially unstable for the burdens of parenthood. And Joy’s latest Instagram activity has given the haters plenty of fodder. Over the weekend, she posted the above pic of herself with Austin on the couple’s joint account. “Getting to spend the weekend with my favorite person! Just the two of us!” she captioned the pic, adding: “(Austin’s parents are watching Gideon for us!) #refreshingtime #dateyourspouse #weekendgetaway #livingunitedcouplesretreat @livingunitedcouples” Seems innocent enough, right? Well, as many fans were quick to point out, Gideon’s first birthday was on Saturday, February 23. If Joy and Austin were preparing to spend the weekend together on Friday, then it stands to reason they would miss their little guy’s big day. Fans generally don’t allow the Duggars much leeway on this sort of thing, so it’s not surprising that they roasted Joy for being absent for her son;’s birthday. Fortunately, Joy’s sister Jessa was quick to clap back at the haters on her behalf: “All these people acting like you wouldn’t remember it’s the one-year anniversary of the most physically exhausting and simultaneously most joyous day of your life. Really??” Jessa wrote . “Girl, I know y’all are heading back to celebrate Gideon’s bday, but seriously, even if you did stay away one more day it’s not like he’d know you were celebrating late,” she continued.  Yes, it seems Joy and Austin were back in plenty of time to celebrate Gideon’s birthday. (So that must have been one seriously short weekend getaway.) Joy was quick to clear the air with a comment of her own, writing: “FYI … we’ve gotten to spend a couple of days away and will be able to celebrate Gideon’s first birthday with him when we get home this evening.” So there you have it — now you can get back to roasting thew Forsyths for the fact that they might still live in a trailer park.

Burberry Apologizes for Sweatshirt With Noose Around Neckline

This is the kind of easily preventable dumb stuff that should never have gotten as far as it did. Burberry is publicly apologizing after one of its recent pieces of clothing caused a stir — and outrage — over the weekend. At London Fashion Week, they strutted a model out onto the runway with a noose dangling from their neck. Oh no . Content warning : this post continues numerous noose images for reference. Burberry was first called out by one of their own models, Liz Kennedy, who wrote on Instagram: “Suicide is not fashion,” Liz writes. “It is not glamorous nor edgy and since this show is dedicated to the youth expressing their voice, here I go.” “Riccardo Tisci and everyone at Burberry,” she says. “it is beyond me how you could let a look resembling a noose hanging from a neck out on the runway.” “How could anyone overlook this and think it would be okay to do this?” she asks. Liz adds: “Especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth.” “The impressionable youth,” Liz emphasizes. “Not to mention the rising suicide rates world wide.” “Let’s not forget about the horrifying history of lynching either,” she adds. “There are hundreds of ways to tie a rope,” she notes. “And they chose to tie it like a noose completely ignoring the fact that it was hanging around a neck.” “A massive brand like Burberry who is typically considered commercial and classy should not have overlooked such an obvious resemblance,” she writes. Liz notes that she herself struggled with suicidal ideation as a teen. This was personal for her as it is for so many others. Marco Gobbetti issued a public apology. “We are deeply sorry for the distress caused by one of the products that featured in our [Autumn/Winter] 2019 runway collection Tempest,” Gobbetti writes. Notably, all images of that particular garment have been purged from the website. Tisci wrote: “I am so deeply sorry for the distress that has been caused as a result of one of the pieces in my show on Sunday.” “While the design was inspired by a nautical theme, I realize that it was insensitive,” Tisci acknowledges. “It was never my intention to upset anyone,” Tisci concludes. “I will make sure that this does not happen again.” Those experiencing suicidal depression could be hit with overpowering suicidal urges from exposure to certain images. One can think of these triggers like allergies . Harmless to most of us, but deadly to some. But, as Liz acknowledges, the noose is perhaps first and foremost evocative of lynching. Thousands of black Americans died by lynching in the United States. As you can see from the couple of sample headlines we have icnluded, the noose has become a symbol of intimidation and hate. Lynchings are a horrifying part of America's past — and the imagery persists because racism persists. The noose has been used to intimidate black people at work, on school campuses, and at their homes. We have all seen footage in which effigies of President Obama lynched were waved about during protests. No one genuinely believes that Burberry was trying to subtly intimidate or harass black audience members with their clothing line. But this kind of mistake should not still be happening in 2019. We cannot afford to be thoughtless. Short of a swastika, just about the worst symbol to wear around your neck is a noose.

Farrah Abraham: I Am Such a Great Mother!

Farrah Abraham loves to post on social media with her daughter. She really loves to talk about her daughter and pose her daughter in various ways and really garner as much attention as she can through her daughter. But does she actually love her daughter? Yes, Abraham says in a new interview with The Blast , giving herself a hearty pat on the back. While out celebrating little Sophia's entire birthday month (the little girl turns 10 on February 23), Abraham addressed her status as a single mother, remarked on whether this will ever change and said a lot of other stuff about parenting. Scroll down for the highlights… 1. Farrah Was Only 17 Years Old When She Gave Birth to Sophia The learning curve was steep. She was young and she had plenty to learn about herself still, let alone about how to be a parent. 2. Making Matters So Much Worse? Sophia’s father died in a car accident not long before she was born. So awful. 3. So We Have Some Sympathy for Farrah But only to a point. 4. We Can’t Excuse All of Her Actions Like how she used to leave her daughter with her parents for months at a time, justifying her actions by saying: “It’s healthy that we have a break. She has her own life and is doing her own thing, and I’m doing mine.” 5. Or How She Posed Sophia for Professional Modeling Photos Even if Sophia was all about this at the time, it’s a mother’s job to know what’s best and to say no to certain things. 6. Or How Sophia Takes Photos of Her Mom Naked Yes, the toddler snapped this picture. View Slideshow

Karine Staehle: 90 Day Fiance Star’s Unborn Baby is Underweight

Earlier this month, 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days star Karine Staehle flaunted her massive baby bump . In a new post, however, she warns fans to not be fooled by the size of her pregnant belly. Her baby is actually underweight. Karine shared a new photo of herself with a flower crown filter, putting her prodigious baby bump on display. Her caption is in her native Portuguese, but we have translated the words for you. “My belly is not as big as it appears in the photo,” Karine’s caption begins. So this is one of those options-on-Instagram-may-be-smaller-than-they-appear situations. That happens on Tinder, too. “The baby is underweight,” Karina informs her followers. “And,” she admits. “It looks like I eat a lot.” Here is the photo. That looks like a huge pregnant belly … though we should of course remember the scale of things. Karine is a tiny, tiny woman. A “large” baby bump on her would look considerably smaller on a more statuesque woman. She also notes that she is only 35 weeks into her pregnancy. So her baby probably has over a month to grow to a healthy weight before she gives birth. When those five weeks are up, Paul and Karine are expecting a baby boy. They have already picked out a name for this little one: Pierre. After the couple’s two miscarriages, Pierre will be their little rainbow baby. Paul and Karine have come a long, long way since fans first saw them on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days . Some of their biggest obstacles have been their own differences. After a long-distance courtship, Kentucky native Paul came to meet Karine in Brazil. Paul did not speak Portuguese. Karine did not speak English. They relied upon translator apps. There were more than just communication issues. Paul had some insecurities and displayed quirky behaviors, including that one time he slipped on a condom under his trunks before going for a swim. (Yes, candiru asu are real, but no, you do not need to wear a condom under your swimming trunks to keep one from tunneling up your dong) More seriously, he was found to have an alarming criminal record including arson. But Paul and Karine tied the knot on the second season of the 90 Day Fiance spin-off. Though they continued to fight, they settled into their relationship and marriage. Two miscarriages, back-to-back, was difficult for them. That would put a strain on any couple. Paul shared that the first miscarriage happened almost too quickly for them to notice. The second, however, put them in mourning. But with this rainbow baby on the way, they’re verye xcited to make this journey into parenthood together. Hopefully, Paul and Karine are prepared to be the best possible parents for baby Pierre. We’re rooting for some final fetal development over the next five weeks. Underweight babies can sometimes experience health complications. We want Pierre to have the best start in life that his parents can give him. But with five weeks to go, there’s probably no reason to worry. Different babies develop at different rates. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?

Chelsea Houska: Watch Her Give Birth on Teen Mom 2!

On this Monday's new episode of Teen Mom 2, viewers will get an up close and personal look at the miracle of child birth. We're not kidding, either: We're talking an up close and extremely personal look at the miracle of child birth. For the past few weeks, those who watch Teen Mom 2 online or each week on television have seen Chelsea Houska and her husband, Cole DeBoer, prepare to welcome their impending daughter into the world. But the wait will be over early next week. It will totally be baby time. The veteran reality star happened to go into labor on her own birthday, a point emphasized by Cole in this revealing sneak peek. “It's your birthday. Oh my God,” Cole says here while holding his wife's hand. “I got two girlies with the same birthday. This is your gift. It's a good gift.” Houska then wonders if the timing means her third child will be just like mom, to which Cole perfectly replies: “Gonna be just as amazing as you.” This really is as candid a clip as we can imagine a program depicting. We don't see the head crowning or anything, but we also see a lot more than just the couple's trip to the hospital. We go inside the delivery room and everything! For Chelsea and Cole, however, this continues their trend of being as open as they can be about parenthood. “This man is so perfect for me,” wrote Houska as a caption the photo below of Cole and Layne. “The most amazing husband and daddy in the entire world. I love how much he loves us.” Chelsea also previously shared a snapshot of herself breastfeeding while spending time with her loved ones. “I know people always say their husbands are great or whatever but I think mine is the best,” Chelsea previously told E! News, adding of Cole: “He's patient. He works all day and still comes home and helps me with what I need. He makes sure to get time in with the kids before bed. He's just a good guy all around.” We love it. Check out this unique Teen Mom 2 video now!

Kylie Jenner Wishes Stormi Happy First Birthday, Gushes Over Daughter

Kylie Jenner may only consume 500 calories per day , but she has a very good reason for it: The reality star is too busy eating up her daughter, Stormi Webster! Exactly one year after giving birth to her first child, the 21-year old is here to gush over the infant, while also sharing a new and adorable photo of her tyke. “how did i get so lucky to have such a sweet, smart, happy baby,” Jenner wrote as a caption to the above picture. In honor of Stormi turning one, Kylie added: “i just couldn’t have dreamt you up, storm. i wish you could stay this little forever and i could protect that contagious smile and laugh of yours. “I know you won’t remember much about the first year of your life but i pray that you’ll never forget to keep sharing your joy and laughter with the world. “my love grows for you a thousand miles a minute. every day with you is the best day of my life. happy birthday to my angel on earth.” Stormi, of course, was born last February to Jenner and Travis Scott. It’s really sort of shocking that this happened, considering how that relationship back then did not seem very serious — and Kylie was just so very young. Fast forward 12 months and there’s lots of talk that Scott may propose to Jenner , while both Travis and Kylie appear to have really taken to parenthood. Elsewhere, other relatives of Stormi also wished the cutie a happy birthday. Wrote Scott, for instance: ITS MY QUEEN ,MY HEART, MY AIR , MY EVERYTHING. STORMI’S BIRTHDAY TODAY. I LOVE U SO MUCH BABY. U THE SMARTEST AND LOVING BABY EVER. UR SPIRT KEEPS ME GOING EVERY DAY ME AND UR MOMMY LOVE U AND CANT WAIT TO SHARE MORE BEAUTIFUL DAYS WITH U. HAPPY BDAYY STORMIII LETS RAGE. And Kris Jenner: Happy birthday to our little angel Stormi! You bring us so much joy with your sweet smile and precious laugh. You are such a beautiful blessing and I love you so very much! #HappyBirthdayStormi. And Kim Kardashian : Happy Birthday to the sweetest baby girl Stormi! We love you so much!!! For the most part, Kylie – who posts very frequently on social media – has done a solid job keeping her kid out of the spotlight. We haven’t really seen all that many photos of her over this initial year of life, although more have been added online over the past few months. For awhile there, the very first image Jenner ever shared of her daughter’s finger was the most-liked snapshot in Instagram history., But then this egg took over that honor . Tough break. Anyway, though: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STORMI! View Slideshow: Stormi Webster: See ALL Her Precious Pics!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are Moving (But Why?!?)

The Royal Rivalry may be real, folks. Then again, it may not be. But there is a new reason to believe that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry truly do not get along well with Kate Middleton and Prince William — and that reason is outlined below. The expecting parents have confirmed that they’re moving from their current residence at Nottingham Cottage in London to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, England. The former cottage is where Markle and Harry hosted their wedding reception and where most assumed they would remain into parenthood. However, this is what the official statement from the Royal Family reads on the matter: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Estate early next year as they prepare for the arrival of their first child… Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate. The Duke and Duchess’s office will continue to be based at Kensington Palace. Why the residence switch, however? Could it really be due to the strained relationship that reportedly exists between Markle and Middleton? Just a few days before the move was announced, insiders alleged that the famous spouses did not get along because Kate thinks Meghan has been hogging the spotlight . There’s also been plenty of chatter of late about British people in general disliking Markle due to her clothing and attitude . In many respects, it does seem as though the shine on Markle has dulled a bit in the eyes and minds of those around her. However, The Sun writes that the issue may not be between Markle and Middleton… … but between Harry and Williams. “The initial plan was for Harry and Meghan to move out of their cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace and into one of the main apartments,” a source tells this newspaper, adding: “But there has been a bit of tension between the brothers. “Now Harry and Meghan don’t want to live next to William and Kate and want to strike out on their own.” Interesting, right? To be clear, Frogmore Cottage has 10 bedrooms and is significantly bigger than Nottingham Cottage. With a baby on the way, it’s no surprise Markle and Harry would want to change digs, especially because Meghan’s mother will be staying with them for awhile once the child is born. But why move so far away? We can’t say for certain. All we know is that many change are afoot for Harry and Meghan, just seven months or so after they became husband and wife. The couple announced shortly after arriving in Australia for their 16-day royal tour in October that they’re expecting. They have not yet revealed the gender or the due date, although most think the baby will arrive in early May. A source told Us Weekly last month that the couple planned to raise their little one outside city limits. “No one bothers them there,” the palace source said at the time. “They’re excited to raise children in the country.” And that’s all there is to this move, the same tabloid writes. There’s no scandal at play here: “This proves that Harry and Meghan really want to raise their children out of the public eye. They never loved living in London. “They enjoy their time in the country much more than the city and feel most at home there.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess
