Late Friday, August 28, it was announced via a solemn message and a smiling black and white photo that Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman was dead (at just 43) after living and working for years with a stage III colon cancer diagnosis he received in 2016. The news came suddenly, with the vast majority of the world (from his colleagues, co-stars and fans) not knowing that he was sick, not knowing that his career (full of bright, inspiring and brilliant moments) and life would be so tragically short....

My children haven’t mentioned the plain white walls in my apartment — but I know they’ve noticed them. The same goes for the fact that there’s only one lamp in the whole home. My kids are still young enough, thankfully, that they don’t notice the fact that I’m constantly washing dishes because I don’t want to spend more money buying an extra set of utensils.

Today, Cyber Monday is in full swing. If you thought Black Friday deals were good, you’ll be surprised that some Cyber Monday deals are even better. Big on-site sales and discounts might be available all the way until next Friday, and you can thank Cyber Week for that. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Cyber Week can be pretty overwhelming. It feels like almost every retailer is having a sale (which is probably true), and you might be at a loss at where to shop this year....

I didn’t want kids. Yeah, I said it… I never wanted children. It wasn’t from a lack of desire to be a mom, but more from a nagging, heartbreaking fear. I was afraid of bringing a beautiful, innocent baby into this cruel world; a baby who might have to endure even a little of what I did. Nearly 40 years ago, like most 5-year olds, I was excited, a bit nervous, but eager to start kindergarten....

So much has been said and written about what the pandemic has done to our kids’ brains and all that’s been lost and deeply changed by more than two years of living through a traumatic global health crisis. We’ve discussed the ways kids are affected by the pandemic and our concerns there. We’ve talked about the milestones teens have missed, and the toll on their mental health. But when it comes to how the pandemic has affected their social lives and sexual development, there’s so much more to unpack....

The ‘glamp life’ sure seems to suit Miranda Lambert! The “Bluebird” singer and husband Brendan McLoughlin just made the first road trip in their brand new Airstream, and they went big — in less than a week’s time, the couple traveled all the way from Nashville, Tennessee, to New York to visit family. Judging by Lambert’s description of their epic adventure, they’re already having a blast in their tiny, shiny home on wheels....

This coronavirus pandemic is going to bring out the best and the worst in us. Let’s start our day by focusing on the former, because we just learned that Kristen Bell’s daughters helped her and Dax Shepard donate $150,007.96 to No Kid Hungry. Without scaring our own kids, we can use this moment as today’s big homeschooling lesson. “We’re BEYOND grateful to our friend and #HungerHero @kristenanniebell for her gift of $150,007....

The holidays are always a stressful time, but this year they feel more panic-inducing than usual. With the news about supply chain issues and shipping delays galore, shopping online for gifts seems way more difficult than it was in years past. Finding out that a gift you purchased isn’t going to arrive until January is frustrating because you have to uncheck an item on your over-flowing to-do list. If you’re struggling to find gifts that’ll arrive when Santa does, we found a retailer that you can turn to: CVS....

Memorial Day is supposed to be all about honoring members of the military who died in service, not just a day to shop and the kickoff to barbecue season. Then again, what else did our veterans fight for but the right to bask in warm weather and play with fire? Of course, as parents, this holiday means something else too: Another day off from school in which we have to keep our children entertained....

The other morning my tween daughter and I got into an argument. It wasn’t a particularly vicious argument. It wasn’t even a particularly new argument. It was just a version of an argument that we’ve had many times before. The only thing about this argument that stood out was that this time, we were having an argument in the car on the way to school. And this time, instead of reaching a resolution, finding common ground, or just coming to a place of no-hard-feelings, she walked out of the car — with an upset look on her face, and without her usual half-smile that said both “I love you” and “don’t embarrass me....

As the world watches the atrocities taking place in Afghanistan and Haiti, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle used their platform to make their position on the humanitarian crises known. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to their Archewell Foundation website and released a statement that illustrated how “heartbroken” they are to see what is happening as the U.S. Military begins to withdraw troops from the Middle East. The couple is the first amongst high-profile members of the royal family to make such a decisive statement on the dangerous circumstances....

My daughter was 10 when I first told her about my abortion. We had just seen Broadway’s Spring Awakening which, as far as musicals go, constitutes a crash course in sex-ed. Rape, masturbation, incest, and abortion are all part of the plot. I had been wanting to talk to her about my abortion for a while, and this seemed like an organic way to bring it up. I was 19 and the only patient at the clinic with her boyfriend and her mom in tow....
