Plants don't normally require a lot of care and are great to have around for numerous reasons. However, there's a problem. What will you do with your plants if you have to go away for a few days or more? They're like quiet pets which you can't take with you on trips and which have to be watered on a regular basis. The solution is quite simple: DIY self-watering planters . Yes there are quite a few fancy self-watering planters available in stores as well but they tend to be pretty expensive whereas these ones are super cheap and easy to make. A lot of the DIY self-watering planters on our list are made from recycled bottles.

A uterus rupture is a scary event, and I knew the risks going into my fourth c-section. Despite the risk, I never believed it would happen to me – until it did. Some might call me a c-section expert, even though that's not the topic I wanted to be an expert in. I knew the risks going into my fourth, and final, c-section. My doctor took time to describe the risks, and the actions she would take during each event. I am well-versed in placenta accreta, which happened to be my biggest worry. The risk of accreta during a fourth c-section is higher than the risk of a uterine rupture. However, I watched for any spotting or pains that might indicate something was wrong. Nothing ever seemed off. The date of my c-section grew closer, and I noticed an increase in Braxton Hicks contractions. That is normal for my pregnancies, so I never felt something was wrong. My doctor scheduled weekly NSTs for the last three weeks of my pregnancy. Everything seemed normal. Related:  How to Prepare for an U...

We all know the scene: Jerry Seinfeld receives a label maker from his friend Tim Whatley as a 'thank you' for SuperBowl tickets.
