As Grubhub put it, “food was extra important in 2020” — and we couldn’t agree more. Not only did we embark on our journey as home chefs together, sharing our favorite recipes (dalgona coffee, anyone?) and hacks (with Ina Garten hailing as MVP, of course) for months on end, but we also ordered more takeout than ever from our favorite local restaurants, in an effort to help keep them afloat amid such a tumultuous pandemic....
Sure, being forced into quarantine because of a global pandemic isn’t ideal — if you’re a human. But for those of us who have furry friends at home, this is about to be the best few weeks of their lives. (Admittedly, this applies more to dogs than to cats.) Finally, we’re not heartlessly abandoning them for eight hours a day — and that goes for celebrity pets too. As expected, celebrity pets have been loving the coronavirus quarantine just as much as our own pups and stars are sharing the cutest photos of their loyal companions....
Plenty of common U.S. names have French origins (hi, millions of Charlottes and Maries) — but the more French those French baby names sound, the rarer they become on our side of the pond. Sure, you’ll run into a Jeanne or a Pierre on occasion, but you’re much less likely to run into a boy named Maxence or a girl named Manon. (Pour quoi?!) That’s where these French names for babies come in handy....
If we had to pick two words to describe last night’s Bachelor finale, they would probably be cringey and uncomfortable — thanks in no small part to the tension between Peter Weber’s final pick, Madison Prewett, and his mom Barbara. All those monster-in-law clichés that exist? Well, the fandom got to see them personified as Barb verbally eviscerated the woman her son claims to love. So, what’s a 23-year-old with a disapproving mother-in-law to do?...
Twenty-one years ago, Laura Wilkinson became an Olympic golden girl. Standing on the edge of a 10-meter platform in Sydney, Australia (with a broken foot, no less) Wilkinson nailed her final dive and came from behind to win the 2000 Olympic platform gold medal — a feat that hadn’t been accomplished by an American woman since 1964. Not content to call it a career, Wilkinson competed in two more Olympics and nabbed two world titles before finally hanging up her Speedo after the 2008 Games....
Legendary Olympic gymnast Simone Biles announced on Tuesday her decision to withdraw from the women’s team events at the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo after walking off the mat during the competition. “No, mental’s not there,” Biles, 24, said of her decision, embracing the (often difficult) task of choosing to focus on her mental health over the intense level of athletics she’s been competing at for the entirety of her adult life — echoing similar sentiments from tennis champ Naomi Osaka from earlier this year on navigating the high pressure environment of being a highly visible athlete....
Watching your child grow and learn is the best part about being a parent. And out of all the memories you’ll share, one of the most rewarding moments you’ll have is the adventure of teaching them to ride a bike. In their first years, you’ll want to start them off small to gradually get them ready for a toddler bike and then an adult bike with two wheels. You’ll likely start thinking about riding a bike when they’re around two-years-old, so it’s a great idea to get them a baby balance bike for 2-year-olds so it’s made just for their size and skill level....
