Cleaning never tops our list of favorite things to do, but having the right tools can make it a lot more bearable. That’s why we’re big fans of microfiber cloths. Sure, you can reuse old socks and t-shirts or even towels to do your dusting, mopping and wiping. Or you could run through sheet after sheet of paper towels, costing you lots of money and the planet more trees. The downside: All of those can leave lint and streaks behind....

On the day my oldest daughter’s school announced it was moving to a virtual model, I realized my husband and I were going to have to have a hard conversation about which one of us would leave our job to become a full-time caregiver. I had only just gotten my new freelance writing career off the ground after having largely left the workforce in 2014. My business was still small and didn’t offer the same security or benefits of my husband’s warehouse job, however, it made financial sense for him to quit as I could out-earn him if I committed to writing full time....
Are U looking to give your baby a name beginning with the letter “U”? You have set yourself up for a challenge — but not an unobtainable one. It will, no doubt be unique, or at least unusual. (Ummm, that’s exhausting.) Among the top 1000 baby names of 2019 (the most recent year for which we have data)in the U.S., there are only two boys names (and zero girls names) that begin with U: Uriah and Uriel....

Our Hatch kids are at it again, with a savvy, responsible message all kids (and adults) should watch. One of their latest conversations focuses on cyberbullying and the “bystander effect,” and the message is clear: When you’re not fixing the problem, you’re part of it. First off, if you’re a concerned parent wondering what cyberbullying looks like, know that it comes in many forms — all of which are potentially emotionally destructive for the victim....

Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for Outlander Season 6, Episode 1, “Echoes.” Outlander is back. Jamie and Claire are back. Let’s just enjoy this long-awaited moment before we recap the premiere we’ve been waiting for since May 2020. That’s almost two years! Or 664 days, not that we’ve been counting.

No one knows what really goes on in a marriage, much less a divorce, so we have to take the latest news about Jaime King and Kyle Newman’s messy divorce and custody battle with a tablespoon of salt. The latest development is that writer-director Newman accused King of drug and alcohol abuse and is requesting full physical custody of their children, 7-year-old James and 4-year-old Leo. Since the couple filed for divorce in May, their court filings and public statements have revealed a bitter, traumatic split....
John Bell began his Outlander stint as Young Ian — Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire’s (Caitríona Balfe) nephew — in season 3, and audiences haven’t been able to get enough of him since. Bell’s Ian brings heart and humor to Outlander in a way few characters have, and in season 5, he finally returned to our screens after being away since the end of season 4. This week’s episode, “Hour of the Wolf,” dove deep into Young Ian’s backstory, and Bell sat down exclusively with SheKnows’ Reshma Gopaldas to talk all about his biggest episode yet....
Normally, we are fully supportive of Jameela Jamil’s message of body neutrality and her wish for celebrities to stop promoting diet supplements and an unrealistic “ideal.” But on Sunday, when Kim Kardashian West announced that her Skims shapewear line is expanding to include maternity shapewear, the Good Place actor raised an objection that is, well, a little off the mark. “What you’ve been waiting for: @SKIMS Maternity is coming soon!” Kardashian West wrote on Instagram on Sunday....
Zahra Kassam is more than just a Harvard grad, a Montessori teacher, a Shark Tank contestant (Kassam told Conscious Company Media that being on the show was “more painful than childbirth” and we believe her), a famous TED Talk speaker on early childhood education, and the entrepreneurial founder of Monti Kids. She’s also, of course, a crazed mom of two boys who is raising her kids to love hip hop and reggae — and just wants to find a break for some solo meditation....
My impressions of what motherhood was about before I had children are quite different than what it is really like. I wasn’t so naive that I thought I’d have children who never misbehaved and were the consummate obedient Stepfords, but I certainly never expected a child with a behavioral disorder either. When my son was around 7 years old, we realized that he was different. There was anger and defiance that I recognized were not typical of a boy his age, and were also uncharacteristic of his normally cheerful and sweet demeanor....
Sleep and lack thereof are hot topics when you have your first baby. It’s not like any new parent is exactly surprised when they find that they have to get up a million times a night to care for their newborn. But not many people actually discuss something else that might be turning moms into the walking dead during the daytime hours — even when their babies manage to sleep or partners take on some midnight feedings: postpartum insomnia....

We know sleep is a necessity in life, but what happens when you start literally sleeping with another person? Relationships come with a number of compromises, and bedtime is one of them. What was once a solitary experience becomes yet another thing couples choose to do together. Not only are your sleeping-in-starfish-position days over, but you also now might find yourself having to fight over covers and mattress comfort and potentially deal with snoring....
Updated Feb. 25, 2020, 10:30 a.m. ET: When Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela announced she was becoming a sex worker, she said she’d spoken with her parents, and found them nothing but supportive. Now, a source close to Steven and Kate Spielberg tells Page Six that, while her parents aren’t judging her choice, they do have their concerns about this new venture. Related story Steven Spielberg’s Daughter Sasha Looks Like a Glamorous & Modern-Day Princess in Her New Music Video “Outwardly, Steven and Kate — who are the most evolved parents in the world and love their kids beyond all measure — have always been supportive of Mikaela and try to understand her,” the source said....
If you follow the Humans of New York Instagram account, you know that it’s a frequent source of feel-good stories and moments of human connection. But the popular social media account took things a step further this week, creating a real-life happy ending out of an Instagram interaction. When Humans of New York shared the story of a young woman whose dad’s dying wish was to give the portrait he’d painted of Sting to Sting himself, Sting’s daughter Sumner Mickey reached out — and connected with the fan from the story (virtually, of course)....
