At the risk of stating the obvious, we all enjoyed holidays growing up. What’s not to love, right? But let’s be real. Holidays are exponentially more fun when you have kids yourself, and few are more fun than Easter.

If you’re anything like us, making special holiday breakfasts has become one of the most joy-filled parts of being a parent....

Most people experience periods of low concentration, sluggishness, depression, and an overall feeling of yuck. Fortunately, one of the best cures for boosting your meh mood is simple: getting a healthy dose of exercise....

When we were kids, nothing made us more excited for the holidays than the prospect of opening up our advent calendars each day to find a piece of candy or a small toy waiting for us within.

If you’re expecting a baby boy this month (well, first of all, good luck!), you may be somewhat stressed about selecting the perfect name to honor the season. Or maybe you just hope your soon-to-be kid will grow to love holiday cheer so much he wants to carry it with him all year. Either way, you can rest assured that “Santa” and “Jesus” aren’t the only choices for iconic Christmas-inspired names....

Starting college is one of the most exciting milestones in your child’s life, and every parent wants the experience to be both educational and enjoyable for their kid. But after spending nearly every day with your child for the last 18 or so years, sending them off to college can be a bit daunting. After all, you want to make sure they have fun, but also want the reassurance that they will stay safe while away from home....

We may not be able to host large gatherings due to the pandemic, and the temps may be dropping a degree or two with every passing day, but — as we learned from Ina Garten yesterday — that doesn’t mean we can’t spend quality, safe time with our #quaranteam this holiday season. The Barefoot Contessa host shared on Instagram yesterday a few genius tips for cold weather, mid-pandemic outdoor entertaining. “Entertaining outdoors has been such a surprise pleasure during these difficult times,” Garten wrote....

If I could give a gift to my kids’ teachers that would truly convey my appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week, it wouldn’t be a gift card or a cute coffee mug. It would be an all-expenses-paid weeklong vacation to a destination of their choosing, where they were waited on hand and foot and never had to do anything but lounge while someone fed them decadent snacks. Because after putting up with not only my own four children, but countless others — for days and years on end — while being grossly underpaid, I can’t think of anyone who deserves that level of pampering more....

Before toy race cars were speeding under kitchen tables and truck collectors lined limited-edition models neatly under their beds, wooden train sets would be the things steering your child’s imagination around the house.

Although breastfeeding is associated with certain health benefits for your baby, there is nothing wrong with opting to bottle feed instead. Breastfeeding can be emotionally and physically taxing.
