Here is another time travel post friends!!! In case you haven’t had the chance in your busy lives to get over to www.milknheels.com to read this week’s Dear Elle columns I’m putting them here under one roof for you to...
Nobody's perfect, but who are we to judge if somebody's trying to get there via plastic surgery?
We’re going to go back in time and act like I didn’t fly home on a red eye Wednesday night, stay up all of Thursday unpacking, all while dealing with a very upset, lonely, desperately unhappy person on the internet....
I'll never understand why people on the internet get so surprised by obvious things. Once a cheater always a cheater, no???
Listen up people, I’ve told my girls this since they were old enough to start dating: THEY WAY YOU GET A LOVER IS THE SAME WAY YOU WILL LOSE A LOVER. Meaning, if you “steal” a person from another person,...
Do kids need a reason when we tell them no, and should a woman who has miscarried keep the pregnancy good news to herself are this week's Dear Elle queries.
As is the tradition on Friday’s here are this week’s Dear Elle columns! Read on, share with friends, and fellow followers, and as always the gals behind @milknheels and I always want to know what you’re thinking! So reach out...
How do we protect ourselves against that which we do not know???
Mental illness isn’t something to mess around with. The guy who rented the van and killed ten people with it, was mentally unsound. The kid who shot up Stoneman Douglas was mentally ill. So was Mark David Chapman, Charles Manson,...
How is it I'm still 21, yet have three daughters who have graduated university?
Well that’s it, that’s all; for now folks. The youngest of our three is a university graduate. She finished with just shy of a 3.8 GPA, which I think is fucking amazing. I didn’t go to university so I have...
Damn Coachella distracted me from posting last week's Dear Elle articles!
The entire Coachella thing got me so riled up that I neglected to post the past week’s Dear Elle articles. So without further adieu, here they are. Remember, you can also go directly to www.milknheels.com to read them, and to...

Hello friends! As promised, here are this week’s Dear Elle advice articles all in one spot for your reading pleasure. Even if you’re not a mom, or your “active” momming days are over feel free to pass this link on...
Is bigger always better? Or more breast, more problems?
I had a follower write to me the other day wondering out loud what I think about women who are already naturally very well endowed going under the knife to make their breasts even larger. I actually find this fascinating....
Are some men in positions of power really afraid to hire triple threat women?
I’ve never been a fan of Tony Robbins. I just get a creep vibe from him, always have. Not to mention that his “thing” feels insincere, IMO. I appreciate that he’s helped a ton of people, I mean you only...
Is one lifetime enough time to get over the loss of a child???
How do parents go on after they’ve lost a child? I wonder this almost daily, because it seems, sadly, that parents are losing their children every single day. Whether due to war, senseless gun violence, illness, or in the case...
Being a mom is a tough job, I do my best to encourage other moms with my Dear Elle column.
Hi Friends, tis that time of week once again where I compile my weekly Dear Shant-“Elle” columns on my site in case you’ve not worked out how to get to www.milknheels.com directly through my website via the link, or through...
Do you think Serena's hubby calls it "babysitting" or is that just the media?
A while back a friend of mine brought to my attention that the media posted a photo of Serena Williams playing a tennis match while her hubby was in the stands holding Alexis, their baby girl. A newspaper labeled the...

WEDNESDAY MARCH 28TH: Dear Elle, No matter what show my kids watch they are introduced in some way to the LGBT community. Now I have no problem with the LGBT community, but how do I talk to my children about...
I'm not patient with ill behaved kids, or ill mannered parents.
As a mom who had three kids, and thanks to work and travel often ended up having them in restaurants with us, I’m always aghast at how many children are out in the world behaving badly in them. I mean,...
How can a government rush a dog travel law through but not laws to protect fellow human beings?
There are a great many things that amaze me. Although nothing shocks, and upsets me quite as much as how our governments have stricter laws, and will act quicker to protect animals, specifically dogs, before children and women. Most recently,...
Perhaps if the arm of the law could extend to the parents of shooters, maybe mass shootings would become a thing of the past.
Today is a historic day. It is the first time in our history where rallies across the nation are taking place spurred on by the mass shooting generation. Since I’m traveling today, and am unable to walk alongside them, I...
Never in this lifetime would I let anybody tell me, or anybody else to put their dog in an overhead bin.
Based on the responses to yesterday’s WWYDW I can see that we’re all thinking a lot of the same things, primarily that there is no way in hell anybody, anywhere, no matter what their thought process, or position was could...
What has become of mercy, and will we ever get it back?
I had the most interesting read this morning. My daily meditation was centered on mercy. I found the way the topic was structured compelling. The author wrote of how mercy has escaped us as a people. We’ve, without even realizing...
Billy Joel's lyric, "only the good die young" applies to our sweet Jadyn.
Usually human beings get to live long lives. I’m going to be forty-nine in June, Yannick will be forty-nine in May, both of us still have our parents on both sides, and by the grace of God all of our...
I love you fierce Wonder Women! Happy International Women's Day!!
Happy International Women’s Day!!! What a year we’ve had. I’ve always loved being female. Even when I’m spinning twenty plates and I look over at my husband, feet up, bike magazine in hand, and feel envious that he wakes up,...
