My collection of pots and pans has always been less of a complete set and more of a mish-mash assortment of pieces I’ve found or have been gifted and liked over the years. One of my staples is a cast iron pan that my dad used to use to cook his meals on over an open fire while working as a park ranger in Montana in the ’80s....

Oops, you did it again. You swore you wouldn’t drink that extra glass — or two or three — of spiked eggnog, but you did, and now you went from holidaze to holi-oh-my-gosh-everything-hurts-and-I-just-want-to-die. So why do we even get hangovers? “Hangovers occur from the way our bodies breaks down alcoholic drinks,” Rebecca Park, a registered nurse and founder of the natural health resource Remedies For Me, tells SheKnows. “The alcohol is first broken down by the liver into acetaldehyde, which is poisonous and is a cancerous byproduct....

You know The Masked Singer, now get ready for The Masked Dancer. The new Fox reality series premiered on Dec. 27 and is, in many ways, just like 2019’s Masked Singer — except this time, the anonymous, costumed celebrity contestants are performing dances instead of songs. With judges Ken Jeong, Ashley Tisdale, Brian Austin Green, and Paula Abdul at the helm, we should have enough Masked Singer vets and dance experts to make this work, right?...

It goes without saying that it’s every parent’s goal to make sure their children will, when the time comes, be able to handle life without them — and, in families with multiple siblings, it often comes with the hope that they also care for one another (along with any other responsibilities they have). But, as a mother in reddit’s famed-AITA subreddit found out, there are limits to what you can ask of your children and their futures — and that word “ask” is pretty essential in really allowing them to consent to step up into more defined caregiver roles later in their lives....

Parenting teens is tough, and it can be difficult to determine the appropriate response when your child does or says something upsetting. Even the most patient, well-meaning parents make rash decisions sometimes. Take it from this mom, who turned to Reddit for some unbiased insight after she canceled her son’s birthday party over a sexist remark he made in passing. /AmITheAsshole user @loopingtossaway provided this context: She had planned a three-day weekend at a ski resort for her 16-year-old son in honor of his 17th birthday....

Waking up to baby sounds at 6:30 a.m. hasn’t gotten old for me — yet. Even when I’m exhausted. My three-month-old slept 10 hours last night, a miracle to new parents everywhere. I pick him up from his crib and head to the comfort of my cushioned rocker to breastfeed. These early mornings with my son help me check further into life and into my day, much like early morning meditation — a practice I adapted in early sobriety — does....

Significant efforts are being made to reduce our collective carbon footprint. As a result, making the switch to sustainable products has never been so easy. This is especially true in regards to the most commonly used plastic items like water bottles, grocery bags and drinking straws. Companies are introducing sustainable alternatives to these everyday staples by the day, and the latest (albeit oddest) eco-friendly craze is reusable cotton swabs. This new innovation might seem like it came out of left field, but Q-tips play a part in ocean pollution and the endangerment of wildlife, too: animals confuse them for food sources and the plastic releases harmful toxins into the land and oceans....

What do you do if your sister wants to announce her pregnancy at your wedding? Reddit has thoughts. The AITA forum gathered together to help out a user who is stuck in a very unfortunate quandary. For context, the family drama has been in the works for awhile. “My sister was finally getting married to her high school sweetheart, I’ve never seen her so happy and I knew this was going to be one of her most cherished moments in life,” the Reddit user wrote....

Choosing whether to have children is a highly personal decision. Ultimately, the choice belongs to you and your partner, not anybody else who tries to weigh in or sway you either way. This is true for any circumstance, but it is even more crucial to keep in mind in situations where bigoted or controlling in-laws are involved. Take it from this Redditor, who told her racist parents where to shove it after they made an awful comment about her hypothetical children with her Latinx partner....

If you’ve been anywhere near the news or the Internet in the last few weeks, odds are you have heard about the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (dubbed COVID-19).
