15 Heartwarming #DadFails on Instagram That Prove It Isn’t Always Easy Being Pops

Unique Baby Names for Girls 

• Aria — All we can think about is, "Here comes Queen Aria," whenever we see this name. Similar to Arielle's name from The Little Mermaid, Aria is synonymous with something melodic.
  
• Iris — Just like the iris of your eye, this name means your daughter will more than likely have a bright and colorful personality!
• Maia — Instead of the traditional spelling of Mya, this name has Latin roots and means "great."
• Ayla — Your daughter will have sturdy characteristics thanks to her Hebrew name!
• Asha — Let your little girl's name remind you that there's much to be hopeful about.
• Naomi — Take a cue from famed model Naomi Campbell and let your daughter's name introduce her beauty to the world.

Gender-Neutral Unique Baby Names

• Campbell — This Scottish name means "beautiful field" so we're sure it means your son's being will be full of beautiful traits and perspectives .
• Reese — There's a reason why Reese Witherspoon has such a enthralling personality. Her name means "passion" and "enthusiasm."
• Greer — We can hear Beyoncé's song "Protector" playing when we say this name because it means "guardian."
• Lennon — There's a reason the world was so drawn to John Lennon's name. Lennon means "dear one" and we know that's how you'll feel about your newborn!
• Sterling — "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" has nothing on the name Sterling. On second thought, it could serve as your baby's unofficial theme song.

Unique Baby Names For Your Son

• Lennox — Trade the 'n' in Lennon for an X to get this Scottish name. It rolls off the tongue, making it easier for others to pronounce.
• Adler — Your little eagle is sure to soar high under your watchful eye.

1. Change your approach and mindset to organizing.

Unless cleaning and organizing makes you feel absolutely giddy, chances are...you dread doing it. This isn't a call-out because I'm right there in the trenches with you. I went from loving being a part of the cleaning process to realizing my mom intended to spend half of Saturday morning doing *just* that. Although I maintained the understanding that cleaning my space is necessary, I was never thrilled about it.

However, Ria said it's important to shift the way we think about cleaning. "I think the biggest reasons my kids look forward to helping me keep different parts of our home clean is because I make things fun. We're a very competitive household, so I make up games like 'who can clean the fastest,' so it doesn't make them feel I'm taking away time they want to spend doing something else."

2. Ask yourself why it's important for you to get organized.

Raise your hand if you've ever asked yourself why you didn't remember something or uttered, "How could I be so stupid?" First, here's a virtual hand-to-heart moment because I've done the same. Second, know that being clear about your reasoning for having an organized space is necessary for you to get started. "Maybe you feel you can't function unless things are perfectly organized and experience discomfort when they aren't," Ria said.

Reading the book helped me personally identify my main goals for wanting an organized space and I realized two things:

1. I want my apartment to feel peaceful.
2. I don't want to feel like I never know where anything is when I need it.

It may look completely different for you and that's totally okay. Ria's organization tips are designed in a way that help you tailor them to your needs.

3. Involve your partner or supportive village in the organization process.

Ria and I both agreed that there are tons of books about how to prepare for your baby's arrival, but there aren't many that shed light on truly helpful organization tips in the midst of it. It can be overwhelming when you realize all of the gifts or clothes you received during your baby shower have to find a place to go in your home. On top of it all, you probably didn't even think about discussing with your partner or supportive village, or ask them to help lighten your housework's load.

"When my first daughter was born, I wanted to do everything myself," Ria said. While it's cool to have an independent nature, it can lead to feelings of burnout. The Organized Home for New Parents outlines how to have conversations with the people in your life so everyone is able to effectively work together to provide support that goes beyond feeding the baby while mom takes a nap.

"Labeling things and letting your support system know where they are so they feel adequately equipped to help is one of the things I was adamant about putting in the book," said Ria. The fact she doesn't gloss over this section in Chapter 2 is so helpful, and serves as a conversation starter for those at different stages of parenthood.

4. Be open to pivoting as your children grow.

Although Ria wanted to specifically make sure new parents felt seen with her book, she wrote it in a way she hopes feels timeless. "Organization is never over. There's always going to be constant editing that occurs over time. Look, my kids are 8, 6, and 4 so I had no choice but to pivot," she said.

If you don't have small kids, The Organized Home for New Parents is still helpful because it can help you think about how you want to approach organizing in the different seasons of your life. You might not have to organize your kids' diapers anymore, but they're still going to wear other clothes that need to be folded and put away. And let's not forget the mountain of toys kids tend to accumulate over the years...*side eye*

5. Don't be afraid to find ways to optimize small spaces.

Regardless of where you live — house, townhouse, apartment, or otherwise — you probably have a few small spaces that you haven't figured out how to organize. They could be your kitchen drawers, a corner in your living room or even the small space on the side of your toilet that's collected random Amazon boxes. Yes...I'm speaking from experience.

The Organized Home helps you reimagine those spaces so that you're able to collect your overflow in a more organized way. One of these ways is by making use of a three-tier rolling cart. Since I built one of my own over the weekend, it's helped to transform my bathroom so that other essentials are securely stored there. Surprisingly, my toddler thinks it looks "cool" and even helped me put back his Boogie Wipes that were on it.

My final verdict of "The Organized Home for New Parents"

I'll be honest — I'm pretty critical of books geared towards parents because some feel like you're having a ton of instructions thrown at you. Although The Organized Home for New Parents is filled to the brim with actionable steps you can take to get your home organized, they're easy to digest and break down step-by-step. Ria said, "The goal isn't to tackle everything at once. Do what you can a little at a time to help lessen the chance you feel overwhelmed."

Taking her advice, I chose three areas of my apartment to clean this weekend, and I was able to organize my pantry and my toddler's bathroom station without feeling discouraged. I also didn't do everything in one day. Ria's tips are helping this mom communicate better about the household things I need help with, and the areas I've gotten around to organizing feel damn good to look at and walk into.

Take it from me, The Organized Home for New Parents by Ria Safford is worth buying and isn't another pretty book that's going to collect dust on your coffee table. You'll probably bookmark and annotate sections throughout it for years to come. Plus, it makes for a great gift for other moms in your life!

A Full Relationship Timeline For Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis

1998 — Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Cross Paths During That '70s Show

January 2012 — A Chance Encounter Leads To A Reconnection

The two didn't officially reconnect until the 2012 Golden Globe Awards (via PEOPLE). She was checking someone out...only to realize who it was once the person turned around! "I see this guy and I see his back and he’s really tall. Then he just turns around and it was literally like if we were in a movie, the music would start playing and the violins would go. I think for the first time ever he took my breath away – I was like f—, he’s good-looking," she shared.

Eventually the two decided to see what would happen if they started hooking up. Mila appeared on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast where she detailed what actually happened. "We were like, ‘Let’s just hook up. Let’s have fun. We’re both single. We both trust each other. Everything’s great.’ None of us wanted tension. OK, great. We hooked up for three months,” she admitted.

However, things took a turn when Mila realized Ashton was seeing someone else. She decided it wouldn't be a good idea for them to keep up their friends-with-benefit situation. "I was like…‘Oh, my God. I love this man, and I have to walk away because this is not the agreement that we had. And so I’m going to speak up," she said.

April 2012 — Ashton And Mila Say Goodbye To Casually Hooking Up

That didn't last long because it was apparent these two were smitten with each other. Mila really did try to set that boundary and break things off. "I was like, you know what, I actually care about you. I don’t want to mess anything up so I’m just going to walk away before it becomes too much," she said. But Ashton wasn't having it — instead he asked her to "move in," signaling he wasn't as serious about the other person he was dating (via PEOPLE). They've been together ever since!

The couple continued to maintain their low profile until they appeared in a 2021 commercial together. They hadn't acted together in a while, so it was fun to see them in the same frame. Mila even shared the hilarious reason they agreed to do the commercial.

"It was quarantine, and we were stuck with our children for nine or 12 months at this moment," she said (via Entertainment Tonight). All she could think about were the "two days" the couple would have a break which prompted her to say, "'Yeah, okay, let's do it.'"

2022: Ashton And Mila Agree To Reprise Their Roles From That '70s Show

January 2023 — February 2023 Ashton Gets Back To The Silver Screen...With An Exception!

It seems Ashton got a taste for acting again because he appeared in Your Place or Mine alongside Reese Witherspoon. Apparently he and Netflix agreed for filming to take place in California as opposed to Georgia because he had "young kids" that he liked "spending time with," (via Esquire).

As Ashton and Reese Witherspoon begin make their press runs, it became noticeable that they weren't actively leaning in to the rom-com aspect of Your Place or Mine. It got to the point Mila brought it to their attention. Ashton detailed how their conversation with during his time on the Chicks in the Office podcast (via Elle). "She [Mila] texted Reese and I together, and she’s like, ‘Guys, you gotta act like you like each other.’ And I’m like, ‘What is going on,'" he revealed. He then explained why he wasn't being publicly affectionate with Reese as they promoted the movie.

"Here’s the thing, if I put my arm around her [Reese] and was all friendly with her, I’d be having an affair with her... Like, the rumor would be that I’m having an affair with her. If I stand next to her, I put my hands in my pockets so there’s no chance that like that could be the rumor, the rumor is we don’t like each other," he said.

Reese even shared her side of the story when she talked to Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush-Hager. "She even emailed us last night. She goes, ‘You guys look so awkward on the red carpet together. Why are you just not—’ It’s just fun. When you know a girlfriend so much, it was just fun to get to know her significant other because I’ve loved her for so long,” she said (via TODAY).

October 2024 — Mila Shares What Makes Her And Ashton's Relationship Amazing

Mila recently opened up about why her and Ashton work together as couple as she promotes Goodrich. "I still feel like we're very young and we feel very young. I think that's where the spark is," she said (via E! News). However, she's not super in awe of how long they've been together. "It’s not really that long. I look at my parents, and they’ve been together for 50. That’s long," she added. However, don't expect her to talk about anything related to Diddy's scandal despite Ashton being friends with now-disgraced music mogul.

There have been rumors that Ashton and Mila are headed for splitsville, but a source close to them said they're "absolutely ridiculous and false" claims (via PEOPLE). Another source also wants to set the record straight about Ashton's perceived knowledge of what happened at Diddy's 'freak-offs.' "Ashton has no involvement in any of this. He doesn't belong in this conversation about Diddy. Ashton has only seen Diddy in a handful of social and business events, all of which have been documented by the media."

The rumors are probably also due to the fact that Ashton and Mila wrote a supportive letter for former That '70s Show co-star Danny Masterson (via PEOPLE). It caused a ripple effect that resulted in them releasing a public apology for seemingly defending what Masterson did.

As a result of all this, In Touch Weekly is reporting the couple is thinking about leaving the flashy life behind. A source said, "Ashton’s so exasperated that once again he’s being dragged through the mud because of his past associations." Between Masterson and Diddy, Ashton feels "convinced that there are way better places out there to live..."
