While we love a good recreation photo, it was one set of photos that’s long been the winner in our eyes – Chris ‘Burr’ Martin’s hilarious attempts at copying all of his teenage daughter’s selfies. 

The dad who went viral for recreating his daughter's photos is back

Last year, Burr achieved viral fame after recreating his daughter Cassie’s photos.

He didn’t just copy her hair, or her stance – oh no, Burr went all out by copying her outfits and even her tattoos with a marker pen.

When the midwife handed me my baby daughter for the first time. I wasn’t filled with happiness. I was filled with sheer terror.

She looked much smaller and more vulnerable than I had imagined and almost alien like!  I had expected to feel some sense of familiarity.  Some sense of recognition that she was a part of me.

But there was nothing. I was simply struck with the overwhelming feeling that I was NOT going to be able to look after this teeny, tiny stranger who needed me so much.

Then came the panic. “It is too late now! I can’t shove her back inside me where I know I will not break her!”

Despite carrying her… Read the full story

Whether it’s the beaker cup or pressing politicians on their favourite biscuit, Mumsnet has been the breaking ground for some of the key debates in parenting culture.

So when one user brought forward the concern of how old is too old to be naked in front of your children, it attracted a heck of a lot of attention.

‘DS1 [meaning her first born dear son] happened to mention he’d seen mummy naked to one of his teachers today, and though she wasn’t overly bothered, she did mention it to me as if I should start to avoid this scenario,’ wrote forum poster AnotherDime.

They are, probably. But there is no way they are sweet as this photoshoot, celebrating Ruby and Harold’s marriage of 65 years.

This isn’t just a collection of selfies or cutesy kissing pictures. This is a celebration of longterm love, of commitment, of finding a person who makes you smile after decades of being together.

Basically, whichever Instagram-famous couple you think are #couplegoals are nothing in comparison to Ruby and Harold. Sorry.

Menstrual cups are amazing.

Talk to anyone who uses one and they’ll tell you how liberated they feel having been released from the shackles of tampons and pads.

Couple celebrate 65 years of marriage with adorable photoshoot

But researchers at a university hospital in Lyon claim to have found that they’re more likely than tampons to cause toxic shock syndrome.

Since last October, they’ve been collecting used tampons to try to understand exactly how the condition develops and the bacteria that causes it.

The study eventually examined over 700 used tampons and menstrual cups and found that none of the products actively encouraged the growth and production of bacterial toxins, apart from Rely tampons which were discontinued in the 1980s.
