It’s been four long years since Michelle Obama left the White House, and our only consolation in seeing our favorite first lady was knowing that she was enjoying a sigh of relief at being out of the public eye. Well — less in the public eye, anyway.

It still feels quite strange to look at travel guides right now, but in some ways, there couldn’t be a better time to explore New York City with your children. Whether you live in the area or have managed to travel here safely, you have a chance to experience some (though not all) of its best attractions without the gigantic, bustling crowds it’s known for.

Editor’s Note: As the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) hears arguments on California v. Texas — determining whether Is the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which now has a penalty of zero for not buying health insurance, is unconstitutional — we’re revisiting this look at what it is like for parents to be uninsured at this moment in the United States. According to the Associated Press, more than 20 million people could be left uninsured in a global pandemic should ACA’s Medicaid expansion or taxpayer-subsidized private market programs be wiped out....
Teenagers are social creatures — they’re hard-wired to learn from and grow with each other — and we all know that social-distancing has been pretty hard on them. So as stay-at-home orders and guidelines ease up all over the world, they are rejoicing most of all. But if you’re the parent or guardian of a teen, chances are you’re going to have to rein in their natural instinct to reconnect with their friends like a pile of puppies....
The exact cause of Alzheimer’s remains elusive, but that doesn’t mean we’re helpless to prevent it. Of course there’s no foolproof, one-size-fits-all secret to Alzheimer’s prevention — but experts say there’s evidence that our lifestyle choices and an understanding of our health history can reduce our risk of developing the illness. “Much research suggests that Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented or at least delayed in onset,” Dr. Morton Tavel, a physician and clinical professor emeritus of medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine, tells SheKnows....
Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, my conservative Christian parents surprisingly allowed my sister and I to watch the Miss Trinidad and Tobago pageant. It was an affair full of glamor, aspiration, and beauty. It wasn’t questioned and certainly not scrutinized for our young minds. I grew up thinking that to be beautiful was to be tall, just the right amount of curvy, flawless, and to possess the startling ability to glide across a stage with a perfect smile....
Will Smith is opening up about his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith — including one loud argument that made their daughter Willow, 11 years old at the time, cry. In a new GQ interview, the actor and Emancipation producer opened up about being a husband and a father to Willow, now 20, and son Jaden, 23 (Smith also shares son Trey, 28, with ex-wife Sheree Zampino). As he details in his forthcoming memoir Will, Smith’s nearly 24-year marriage suffered from inequities as both spouses dealt with their high-profile careers....

The titling is a pretty clever way to document her life in song, and despite claiming that 25 was the end to the number trilogy, we’re kind of pleased that she’s sticking to the winning album titling plan with the release of her sure to be spectacular 4th album, 30....

Recently, the songwriter spoke to Health about her lifetime in the spotlight, and how the trauma of her childhood stardom has changed the way she parents her two children, 13-year-old Max and 6-year-old Summer. Aguilera has been working since she was 7 years old, which is probably why she tries so hard to keep things as normal as possible for her children when she brings them on tour with her....
The neighbors below me are banging on my floor (their ceiling). I tell my kids, ages 7 and 5, to quiet down as they do one last jump routine from the couch — they rush down the hallway to the bed to the chair and back to the couch again — before their baths. I hardly care about the disturbance they are causing for the family below me, though. Why? Because I only see my kids every other week....
