Over the past few months while staying at home, we’ve all likely taken up gardening and landscaping in some format as a way to stretch our bodies and get some fresh air after working or learning inside all day. Most of us probably still have nothing but black thumbs despite our greatest efforts, but hey, we can’t all be pros like the dynamic team behind the Brooklyn-based landscaping and exterior design company Manscapers — James DeSantis, Garrett Magee, and Mel Brasier....

For many, Cher became the first mother of a transgender person they ever knew, even from afar, when her child Chaz Bono came out as a trans man in 2009. By both hers and Bono’s account, her reaction to his coming out was not good. But now, more than a decade later, she has some very powerful, convincing words she likes to share with other parents of transgender children, to help them understand that they’re not losing the child they raised....

It has been 22 years since two gunmen walked into Columbine High School and carried out what was once the most horrific mass shooting in U.S. history. The shooters killed 13 people and wounded 24 others before ending their own lives. On April 20, we remember the lives that were lost, and the countless other lives that were changed forever on on this day in 1999 through touching tributes shared across Twitter....

The latest surveys of patients with confirmed cases of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) found that people exposed to the virus take about 5.1 days for symptoms of COVID-19 to appear, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. (For reference, human coronaviruses that cause the common cold have roughly the incubation period of three days). While analyzing public data of 181 cases from countries with confirmed cases before February 24, the study (published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine on Tuesday) found that 97....

The flu season is right around the corner and, given the global pandemic of it all the ways you boost your immunity to infections and viruses are all too important for you and your family to consider this year.This means it’s time for an influenza shot for you — and your kids. The flu shot is one of those necessary tools we have available that helps us stay healthy, but for some of us, shots are not something we really enjoy dealing with, and for many kids, needles are the worst thing ever....

Every time I have a new baby, I find my life is consumed with how to feed the tiny precious thing I’ve been entrusted with. I have experienced the gamut: My first was mostly formula fed; I’ve powered through triple-feeding that turned into exclusive pumping for a year; and with my youngest, we are 21 months into breastfeeding with no end in sight. What I’ve learned is that feeding your baby is one of the most all-encompassing things you will ever do....

The last time we chatted with Hilary Duff, she was an actor, an entrepreneur, a jet-setter, a SHE Media #BlogHer20 speaker, a period warrior, an eco-crusader, and a mom of two, among other things. Today, she’s a second-grade teacher. My, how times have changed. Of course, Duff has been spending the past weeks (it’s been…one thousand weeks, right?) self-isolating at home with her family: partner Matt Koma and kids Luca Cruz and Banks Violet....

This pandemic has truly played a huge role in humanity’s plethora of emotions and wild decisions lately. The Gould family could truly attest to that notion, because this momma is now homeschooling! Not virtual learning, or overseeing school online, but homeschooling. The truth is, I always desired to be “a homeschool mom.” When I had my kids, I worked full-time, but my soul yearned to be in their presence and to be with them in the comfort of our home....

“Shhhhhh!!” a friend’s mom quieted her husband, flashing a look at me and flapping her hands as I walked in the door. Even at 12 years old, my gut knew I had walked in on them making xenophobic comments about Latino immigrants as they watched the news. While our neighbors in Alpharetta, Georgia, wouldn’t tell us to our faces how they felt about immigrants, Latinos in particular; their kids still treated my sister and I as friends as we witnessed countless racist comments in their homes growing up....

Kids love Halloween — or at least the dressing up and getting candy part. But should teens — or even college-age kids — really be out there trick-or-treating with the little kids? Child psychologist Michele Borba tells SheKnows that while there’s no one-size strict age cutoff, most kids naturally decide between 12 and 17 that they feel too old to participate in trick-or-treating. “It really depends on the individual child, their peer group and the neighborhood where they live as to what is acceptable,” she explains....

Breast cancer wasn’t ever on my radar. Despite the fact that I’d had two — thankfully benign — breast masses removed in a ten-year span, I wasn’t worried about cancer. The surgeons said I had dense breast tissue, something that wasn’t uncommon. This type of tissue makes masses harder to see on imaging, but not to worry. I was given the all-clear, twice. I continued to do my self-exams, intermittently. When I found a third mass, I knew what to do....

J.K. Rowling has conjured up even more fun for kids (and, let’s be real, the rest of us too) amid the coronavirus quarantine — the beloved author announced on Tuesday that she is releasing a new book called The Ickabog. But be forewarned, all ye witches, wizards, and muggles; you won’t find mention of The Boy Who Lived on its pages. What you might find, though, are your kids’ doodles! Let us explain....

When it comes to co-parenting, respect goes a long way. That’s one reason why Brian Austin Green’s girlfriend Sharna Burgess reached out to his ex-wife Megan Fox with the sweetest message of support and love. The Dancing With The Stars pro is currently expecting her first baby with Green, who is already dad to Kassius, 20, with Vanessa Marcil, and Noah Shannon, 9, Bodhi Ransom, 7, and Journey River, 5, with Fox....

Sam Heughan and his former Outlander co-star Graham McTavish faced off at New York Comic Con’s virtual trivia deathmatch, with host Josh Horowitz. Turns out one of them was really bad at trivia. But before the game got started, Heughan and McTavish talked all about their new book Clanlands, which comes out in early November. They dropped behind-the-scenes details about co-stars Caitríona Balfe and Duncan LaCroix, both of whom are in the book it seems....

February 14th is almost here, which means we’ve been scratching our heads, trying to figure out what to get the besties for Galentine’s Day. Some people celebrate it the day before Valentine’s Day, a la Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation, while some celebrate it on the 14th, but the important thing is to make sure you have something sweet to give your best pals....

There are numerous things in your life that change when you get a diagnosis for a chronic condition. There’s the relief of having more answers and, ideally, a path toward treatment.
