We couldn’t have known what it would be like to deal with family health challenges

Starting preschool can feel like a big jump. For little ones, it can bring up strong feelings to be away from home for long hours. Even if they have been in daycare, changing to a new environment with new peers and more structure can be challenging, and you may need help learning how to to

Ready or not, this baby is coming!  24 weeks into my third pregnancy and somehow “Prepare Your Body for Childbirth” didn’t quite make the to-do list… until now. Between working, caring for two littles, drinking enough water and trying to sleep comfortably – honestly, who has the time? But I’ve been down this road before

In the most random (and adorable) news you’ll likely read this week, a mom in northern Ireland shared a tweet comparing her infant’s looks to Woody Harrelson—and the tweet went viral. So viral, in fact, that Harrelson himself saw it and personally responded. It began late last week when Dani Grier Mulvenna shared a side-by-side

KVUE Chief Meteorologist and mama Erika Lopez found herself in a predicament many parents have been in—headed to work, despite childcare falling through, wondering what to do with her kid. So, Lopez threw on her Ergo Baby Carrier and brought her baby to work. But this isn’t just any desk job — the meteorologist gave

Everyone warned me that raising boys was messy, wild and loud. Oh how they were right, and especially about the noise level! Sometimes as I’m surrounded by yells, screams and squeals, I imagine the real-life job description of the infamous ‘Boy Mom’ title reads something like this: The ideal Boy Mom candidate enjoys physical work to

Preparing for a new addition to the family? Congratulations! You might be Googling for the best onesies, diapers, carseats and strollers to purchase. But what’s one thing you can’t find at the store? The best or, most popular, baby names, of course! Choosing a name can be a months long process. And you might even

Melanie Lynskey is opening up about the body shame she faced during her early days in Hollywood.

From being pressured to lose weight to body-shamed,

The HGTV star and wife, Linda Pham, welcomed baby, Parker James Scott, on May 4. Scott recently spoke to “Entertainment Tonight” about his new role as Dad and, yes, you already guess it, he’s crushing the game (and crushing on his little boy!).

Just the other morning, my strong-willed child grew upset about something. Honestly, I have no idea what, but I remember thinking, I need to nip this now or this will be the longest day ever. As she was huffing and puffing, she did what many kids do, she took it out on her mom—her safe

Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneer NFL player and husband to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, has revealed the toughest part of parenting. He has people’s attention after complaining in a recent episode of the Drive with Jim Farley podcast that it’s not the sleepless nights, the difficult decisions about their futures, or the grocery aisle tantrums—apparently for

From the catchy tunes (that we can’t get out of our head) to the adorable characters and all of their shenanigans, “CoComelon” is an indisputable family favorite (even if you’re forced to watch it, courtesy of your child). Well, now you can catch JJ and the family in-person when the popular children’s series hits the

“Are you PMSing?” This question used to stop me in my tracks. No matter who was asking—a close friend, my sympathetic mother, or worst of all, a man—the feeling in my body was the same. My jaw would tighten, and my stomach would swirl in a sickly combination of bewilderment and rage. If it was

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jennifer Garner was asked about any beauty advice she would pass down to her daughters. Garner says, “My beauty advice is always the same: Look in the mirror less, obsess less, and look at the rest of the world to see what you could be using your time

Finding a baby name that both you and your partner like, your family and friends don’t dislike, and your child won’t resent you for is a tough call.

I think we can all agree that the 1988 horror film, “Child’s Play” is the stuff of nightmares. But seeing a real life Chucky walking down the street? Absolutely terrifying. Well, that’s exactly what happened in an Alabama neighborhood on July 13. Kendra Walden and two other women were driving down the street in Albertville,

Becoming a parent inevitably means every aspect of life will change. However, while certain shifts may be predictable, others may feel a bit more unexpected. Some mothers may find that their definition of “success” may completely transform, they may need to enforce stricter boundaries, or their perfectionist tendencies may need to be re-evaluated.  “In the

None of us want to fight while on vacation, but nevertheless, it can be a common occurrence. Conflict can be hard no matter the surroundings but bickering while on vacation can turn the trip into an unpleasant time away, instead of the relaxing experience we were dreaming of. It’s frustrating to plan a trip for

It’s no secret that many people enjoy cannabis, from the relaxing, pain-relieving, euphoric effects of THC to the purported healing powers of CBD—and there’s no shame in that!
