Warning: This article contains spoilers for Outlander Season 5, Episode 4, “The Company We Keep.” So last episode was a special episode of Outlander where Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) entered a scary-ass house. It was sort of like the horror movie Seven, except thankfully Gwyneth Paltrow’s head didn’t end up in a box. We left off with Jamie, Claire and their new baby. Here are my takeaways from this episode....
Spoiler Warning: This article may contain potential spoilers for Outlander’s Season 5 Finale, Episode 12. Okay, people. Buckle in. The Outlander Season 5 finale is two days away. And we are extremely nervous. Why? Because the cast seems scared. And Outlander book fans have been dropping a lot of stressful gifs on Twitter that involve people crying or drinking large amounts of wine. So… Last week, in episode 11 of Outlander, the family enjoyed a gourmet meal of… peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!...

While Donald Trump was President of the United States unprecedented moments were reportedly happening behind closed doors that could have had global implications. That’s what a new afterword in author Michael Schmidt’s book, Donald Trump v. the United States, is alleging: Donald Trump tossed around the idea of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea and blaming it on another country....
Home births are having a moment in the collective consciousness these days. With moms going the home-birth route last-minute as an alternative to birthing sans partner in the hospital mid-pandemic (yikes, seriously don’t try this at home please!) as well as celebrities like Cindy Crawford revealing all the details of their past home births, it’s clear this type of birth is no longer just a choice of crunchy hippies (like my mom, who birthed me standing up in 1985, respect)....
As part of one of the most famous blended families on the block, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have been extraordinarily candid about their experience navigating parenting their 3-year-old, Kaavia, as well as co-parenting Wade’s children from previous relationships, including 19-year-old Zaire, 14-year-old Zaya, 8-year-old Xavier, and his nephew, 20-year-old Dahveon Morris, whom he serves as a father figure for. And while Union no doubt seems like an awesome stepmom to Wade’s kids, she recently opened up about why she finds the terms “stepparent” or “stepmom” to be “very annoying” when referring to her relationship with his children....
If you have any lingering questions for Gabrielle Union about her departure from America’s Got Talent or subsequent NBC lawsuit, then bring it on (pun intended). Union is taking any and all questions about the affair — and if you thought she was outspoken last year, you’ll love her even more come 2020. To recap: shortly after Union was let go from her guest judging role on AGT, she filed a complaint against several parties involved, from NBC exec Paul Telegdy to co-host Simon Cowell, alleging a toxic culture of racist and misogynistic behavior....
I was first diagnosed with depression when I was 15 years old. At the time, I didn’t know much about it or my symptoms. I knew it was an illness — a mental illness — and one that affected almost every aspect of my life, but beyond that, my knowledge was limited. The only thing I knew about depression was what I saw on TV or in antidepressant commercials. That said, I quickly learned I wasn’t the “normal” depressive patient; I was a straight-A student and a member of the drama club, the history club, choir and the National Honor Society, and I had a part-time job....
Bilingualism is a gift, a legacy that is handed down lovingly, nurturing our kids with a heady mix of tradition and ambition. When you speak more than one language, it says you’re ready to stretch out and straddle the world to see it more completely, with nuance. It means you have roots and a history that spans continents and seas and points to a melding of cultures, an inevitable and necessary adaptation driven by vision and resilience....
More and more states are legalizing marijuana in some form — some for medical use and others for recreational use too. But the conversation around how pregnant people and new parents use cannabis products remains one rife with controversy. There was that 2017 report (from the Society for the Study of Addiction and published in the journal Addiction) that claimed marijuana is actually less damaging to the body than alcohol; yet, marijuana use remains frowned upon in many circles....
There are a few things we can thank Meghan Trainor for introducing into the modern conversation, like knowing we’re all about that bass (and what exactly that means), and, recently, what it’s like to poop beside your partner. Last month, Trainor admitted on the “Why Won’t You Date Me?” podcast hosted by Nicole Byer that she and husband actor Daryl Sabara have side-by-side toilets where they have pooped and urinated next to each other....

Let us rejoice: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here to cure our end of summer blues, and the baby deals in particular are out of this world. While the coveted once-a-year-sale was pushed back last year due to the pandemic, it’s right on time this year. While you can save big on clothing and fun designer items, of course, the baby and kids gear on sale is truly a lifesaver for parents — and you’re going to want everything....

Reddit has reached a complete standstill over a dad, his kids and his inheritance money. The dad took to the forum to explain the conundrum and ask if he’s TA here. Some context: the Reddit user married his wife four years ago and she has a 12-year-old son. He has two children of his own from a previous marriage, who are 34 and 32. When he was raising his two kids, there was an emotional distance in the relationship....
On Monday, Arkansas joined the list of about 20 states who are on the wrong side of progress by trying to ban transgender children from sports. Introduced by Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, Republican Sen. Missy Irvin, and Rep. DeAnn Vaught, the legislation would prohibit transgender athletes from playing on girls’ and women’s sports teams at schools, the Associated Press reports. The Human Rights Campaign is currently tracking these bills in states from Montana to Mississippi and from Connecticut to North Dakota, with information on what you can do to help stop them from becoming discriminatory laws....
Bath time for your baby will either be one of two things: a relaxing time filled with sweet little playful splashes or a sudsy mess of tears you try your best to rush through just to make it stop. The good news is, the latter is avoidable. All it takes is finding the best body wash for your little one’s needs to transform their water play from absolutely dreadful to actually enjoyable — for both you and baby....

Based on The Duke and I by author Julia Quinn, Bridgerton proved to be exactly what the world needed in 2020 (when everything else seemed like a raging dumpster fire). The first Shonda Rhimes production on Netflix, it has been praised for its diversity in casting, which is especially rare for a period drama. Set in the British Regency era, it’s an intoxicating glimpse into the secrets and romantic lives of an aristocratic inner circle of Londoners....
