Buying a home for the first time is an exciting and life altering decision. The process can feel overwhelming at times, understandably so, but there are ways to make it feel less daunting, starting with knowing what to watch for in the housing market. To start, buyers should examine how the trends in their local market compare to what’s going on nationwide. “Find the homes that have sold recently in your neck of the woods and learn more about them,” Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor....

March is Endometriosis Awareness month and while the disease affects an estimated 200 million women worldwide like myself, and was one of the most-Googled health search terms of 2018, endometriosis symptoms are often missed or ignored. And there’s good reason why this occurs. But first, let me dispel a pervasive and damaging myth about endometriosis: It’s not that women are scared or embarrassed to share these symptoms or confide in their doctors....

When it comes to making sure you and your partner are ready for some real good sex, lube is your best friend. Though many put it in the category of something you only need when there’s a problem, lube is actually a really helpful, fun addition to all types of sex — regardless of your age or whether you have a partner. “There’s a lot of controversy surrounding lube and women,” Jenny Block, author of The Ultimate Guide to Solo Sex, tells SheKnows....

Has the quixotic quest for the quintessential baby name got you feeling queasy and querulous? Don’t quit now! Especially if said quest includes the goal of finding a “Q” name — you’re having quads or quintuplets, quite possibly (bless), or naming after the Queen? Perhaps you questioned our queue of “P” names prior to this, and quarreled over our ostentatious “O” names. But baby names beginning with “Q” aren’t just quaint; they’re quite cute....

When you’re on a budget (aren’t we all?) and need new kids clothing, of course the absolute best solution is to get hand-me-downs. Considering how quickly those little ones outgrow things, nothing beats getting free clothing from friends, family, and local clothing swaps. But that’s not always an option — especially because there are certain ages when kids are super rough on their pants and shirts, rendering hand-me-downs impossible. Plus, sometimes, even when you need to save money, you really want to buy something fresh for your cuties....

Elf on the Shelf may be Santa’s little spy that became a holiday tradition much to the chagrin of parents around the world — but it appears he’s here to stay. Opinions about Elfy are pretty polarizing; you either love it and think it’s festive and fun, or you hate it and think it’s creepy. Either way, Elf on the Shelf is only gaining popularity, so it looks like it’s sticking around — until Christmas Eve, that is....

Over 25 years ago, Dr. Gary Chapman penned the infamous New York Times bestseller “The 5 Love Languages.” It was a revolutionary concept that’s still relevant today, and in case you haven’t read the book or taken the quiz, here are the cliff notes: humans express love and want to feel loved in return in five different ways — words of affirmation, receiving gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch....

Okay, so Camila Alves McConaughey isn’t exactly just like the rest of us, because most of us are not an incredibly successful model and also an entrepreneur (Alves McConaughey is the co-founder of baby food company Yummy Spoonfuls) and also a philanthropist and also a mom and — oh yes, also married to Mr. Alrightalrightalright himself, Matthew McConaughey. But in other ways, the busy, talented, multi-hyphenate mama is oh so relatable — a homebound, homeschooling mom of three just trying to keep her family healthy during a global pandemic and catch a moment or two for herself....

Now that their multiple, highly-anticipated nuptials have passed, Kourtney Kardashian Barker and Travis Barker have their eye on expanding their blended family — and they’re looking into some alternative medical practices (including a cleanse that would have them avoiding exercise, sex and caffeine) as well as sharing one doctor’s advice that drinking some of Barker’s semen three to four times a week might be helpful. On Thursday’s episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kourtney talked about her current fertility journey and how they were meeting with Martha Soffer, an expert in Ayurvedic medicine....

I was the kid who started planning her Halloween costume right after the last sparkler faded on the Fourth of July. My keen kid intuition told me that Halloween was the next holiday lurking around the corner, so it was then I began my costume campaign. Cornering my parents in carpool — and, well, in corners — I’d talk through outfit options. They’d listen patiently, knowing I’d probably change my mind one or two (or 27) times before October 31st....

When I got to chat with Connie Simpson, usually known as “Nanny Connie,” baby whisperer to stars like Jessica Alba and Emily Blunt, I was ostensibly just going to pump her for secrets on caring for newborns — and I did, so you’ll get to read that soon enough. But beyond being the go-to nanny for the rich and famous and author of The Nanny Connie Way, Simpson also happens to be a Black mother, from a long line of caregiving women....

Now, as the search continues, her co-stars and friends have taken to social media to spread messages of hope....
