An Honest Word on International Womens' Day

For Women's Day last year, I was treated to a trip to the spa with a friend. Those two hours we spent spoiling ourselves at the spa while our wonderful husbands looked after the four children under 3 1/2 that we had between us was absolute heaven.

It had been longer than I could remember since I had a truly relaxing break from everything. In the three years and three months since my eldest child was born, my husband and I had been on exactly six dates, I had spent one night away from home (apart from my time in hospital having my second child -- which felt like a holiday) and the holidays we had were harder work than "term time" when we have some help with our kids in the form of playschool.

We have a friend who lives on a farm about 90 minutes away and spends weekends in our cottage so that he can be in the city for a few days a week. He has become like a brother, and has seen our family in every circumstance and all states of dress (me in pajamas sans makeup and hair... well, let's just not talk about the hair), every possible mood (just think about a 3-year-old and a toddler before 8 a.m. pre-breakfast and post-difficult night trying out well, everything.)

One particularly loud and chaotic morning, on the day of my eldest son's birthday party, I stood next to our family friend in my pink-striped socks and looked around the havoc that was our home in that moment and stated, "Now THIS is what we should put on Facebook. Welcome to our real life. Our insane, loud, crazy, messy, mucky, happy, shouting, crying, cooking, cleaning (at some point) real life. Take it or leave it -- this is how it really is."

I know you have experienced this -- the problem is that so few of us are actually honest in sharing the true challenges of parenthood and we like to pretend everything is absolutely perfect in our homes when, actually, what we really desperately need more than anything else in the world is just two hours of escape.

I also know that it is sometimes easier to hide behind perfection, pretending everything is fine -- great, actually! Sure, you have two children under 2... the eldest may be sleeping, but the youngest certainly isn't. The youngest is most likely waking the eldest, the eldest is having to adjust to this change in your family structure and is throwing tantrums off the Richter scale and you are doing your best to handle it all -- get them to eat (in front of the TV) so that they will (hopefully) sleep long enough for you to have some time with your husband, or to yourself or (shhhhh...) some actual sleep of your own so that you can get up before any of your children wake, get dressed and ready so that you can get them dressed and up and fed and out of the house to run to whatever next appointment you have to go to to pretend that (breathe) everything is just Great.

No. It's not. It's hard. It sucks picking poo up out of the bathwater with your bare hands and flushing it down the toilet. It is demoralizing cooking food that your toddler turns his or her nose up at until you resort, once again, to scrambled eggs. It is incredibly, unimaginably difficult keeping calm while your 2-year-old throws an absolute hurricane of a fit, kicking and screaming and thrashing about on the ground. But you do -- you try to -- and, most of the time, you get it kind-of OK.

It is also quite simply magnificent, beautiful and wonder-filled to be a mom. It is the most rewarding thing you will ever do and, without a doubt, the most important job on earth. Harold B. Lee once said, "The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home."

But you can't do it alone. It takes a village to raise a child. We need to start tapping into our villages -- and being kinder to ourselves and others. We need to start taking two hours to ourselves on Women's Day so that we can rest, and recoup, and then drive home to do it all over again.

Let's be honest with ourselves, with others, with everyone we can help by just, simply, being real.

After the fight was over, Broner had some things to say

Where was Adrien was going with that comment? Well,youll just have to use your imagination because NBCimmediately cut the interview and went back to the ringside commentators.

This isnt the first time Broner has brought these type of commentsinto the ring. After beating Carlos Molina last May: Adrien unleashed similar, racially-infused tauntsduring his post-fight interview.

Adrian Broner really just said Im the Can man Im Afri-can, I just beat the F*ck out of a Mexi-can Had him on radio, was a jerk.

Mike Gill (@MikeGillShow) May 4, 2014

After Broners fight last year, the World Boxing Council suspendedhimshortly after for the comments. Only a few months later, the same committee just decided one day that it was ok toremove his ban.

Now that hes poked the bear for a a second time, will the WBC enforce aretroactive punishment and/or ban for committing the same exact infraction he didin May?

Stay tuned

What Are Bollywood Actors Doing on Holi?

Spending a colourful day with family and friends and gorging on goodies is what's on the mind for Bollywood actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Holi on March 6, while those like Bipasha Basu and Tiger Shroff plan to keep distance from the revelry.

Here are the actors' plans:

Sushant Singh Rajput: It's going to be a dirty Holi for me. I'll be with my soul-mate Ankita and my close friends in Lavasa.

Nimrat Kaur: I'll be at a rain-dance party. It is being hosted by two friends who were recently married. It's their first Holi as a married couple. We'll have loads of fun, and only with organic colours.

Ayushmann Khurrana: Holi is food, fun, dance and frolic with close friends at a farm house in Chandigarh. This is the only festival when people who are in the public eye can venture out and have fun because nobody recognises you when your face looks like graffiti. Tiger Shroff: I don't play Holi. But I want to keep working hard to add colours to my parents' lives.

Bipasha Basu: I've no Holi plans. I'm allergic to colours.

Taapsee Pannu: I'm not really a huge fan of the way this festival is celebrated in this country. It is an excuse for people to do a lot of stuff I don't really find fun. I've got a box of organic gulaal (colour) which we shall play with at home in peace with my sister and a few friends. Then I might go out with my sister in the evening for a good dinner and a movie celebrating the holiday.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: I'll be enjoying myself with my friends.

Arjun Rampal: I'll be enjoying with family and friends. I guess that's what the rest of the country will be doing. Ali Fazal: Instead Of Holi I'm getting ready to play my role this time. We just might skip the colours this Holi. But I suspect at some point during the day my house will be taken over and I'll be forced out into a rain dance.

Kriti Sanon: I will be celebrating Holi with my friends in Mumbai this year.I will miss celebrating with my family. But will hopefully get some gujiya delivered at home.

Rajkummar Rao: I'm in the middle of shooting for Aligarh with Hansal Mehta. So I guess I'll skip Holi this year.

Report: Calista Flockhart staying by Harrison Ford's side

Calista Flockhart is supporting Harrison Ford in hospital.

The 50-year-old actress has barely left her 72-year-old husband's bedside since he suffered lacerations to his face when his plane crash landed due to engine failure in Los Angeles on Thursday.

A source close to the former 'Ally McBeal' star, who has son Liam, 14, with the 'Star Wars' actor, told PEOPLE.com on Friday: "Calista arrived at the ER shortly after Harrison. She looked concerned and stayed with Harrison until late last night. This morning, she drove Liam to school and then straight to the hospital. She is still at the hospital now."

Calista was spotted looking emotional and clutching a tissue before returning to the hospital.

Harrison's eldest son from a previous marriage, Ben Ford, also visited him and thanked his fans for their well wishes on Twitter, writing: "At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man.

"Thank you all for your thoughts and good vibes for my dad."

Harrison was "alert and conscious" after he saved his own life with a "textbook emergency landing" near Venice Beach.

A spokesperson for the star previously said: "He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care. The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery."
