White people shouldn’t need a Black friend or relative to take the issue of racism seriously in this country. But as a white mom with a Black daughter, Angelina Jolie is uniquely positioned to understand how American systems and societies benefit her — but not her daughter Zahara. Jolie has long been a human rights activist, but the events of recent weeks have shifted her attention to home, and the Black Lives Matter movement going on at this moment....

Now that the holidays are right around the corner, Jamie Chung is on a mission to make the holidays full of merriment, cheer, and safety precautions. While parents plan out every detail of the holiday, sometimes things slip through the cracks — like making sure your batteries are babyproofed. Ever since Chung became a mom, she’s been all about keeping her little ones safe and secure, a big passion of hers that she plans to spread awareness of this holiday season....

Ever since Bindi Irwin gave birth to baby girl Grace Warrior in March, she and her husband, Chandler Powell, have shared numerous joyous moments from their first few months of new parenthood. There have been Instagram posts of the cutest baby photos and gushing captions about Grace being the “happiest little light.” The duo, who are both conservationists and live at the Australia Zoo, even chronicled their journey to becoming parents on Crikey!...

Like the rest of us, Rachel Bilson is working overtime this year trying to make the holidays feel special for her daughter — even if they look really different from any other year. Their usual trips out of town are off, but 6-year-old Briar Rose isn’t missing out on Elf on the Shelf or Santa, as long as the O.C. star has anything to say about it. SheKnows: Hi, Rachel! I apologize in advance if you hear someone singing in the background....

Something we don’t talk enough about in the realms of body love, body positivity and body acceptance is that it takes work. Unlearning the heaps of body negative, ableist, classist and racist garbage that contributes to the ways we might hate or dislike our bodies is a journey that we all need to embark on at one point or another. Once we start to realize that we’ve become our own worst critics, cultivating a better, more loving relationship with our bodies is something we do for ourselves and to make sure we’re modeling the most positive body attitudes for our kids and the young people who look up to us....

In yet another in-law-based baby name fallout, one Reddit dad is wondering if he went too far when scolding his wife’s mom about stubbornly calling their son the wrong name. It all started before Reddit user RightBabyName (which is probably a throwaway account unless this guy has tons of baby name baggage) and his wife even began seriously discussing having children. “Even before my wife and I started to think about kids, her mother has wanted us to name a son after her father,” wrote the upset dad....

There’s a reason “Thanksgiving sex” just isn’t a thing. Before one of the most dense, sleep-inducing holiday meals of the calendar year, you might briefly see the appeal of sneaking off for a bit of quality time with your partner while everyone else heads into their well-deserved food comas — but that’s before you get all that sweet, sweet tryptophan (the stuff in turkey that knocks you out) into your system and before you find yourself extremely full and in need of a brief (or long) nap....

They say balance is the key to a happy life. Whoever “they” are obviously never owned a deep fryer. There’s just something so satisfying about moseying into the kitchen and knowing you have the tools to whip up gooey mozzarella sticks, ballpark-style onion rings and restaurant-quality pizza crust at your disposal. Sure, moms have a responsibility to keep their families healthy, and nourish their bodies with fresh fruits and vegetables. But everyone knows the way to a kid’s heart is through fried food, and who couldn’t use a flaky, dough-encrusted Oreo every once in awhile?...

Going to Disney is a job in itself. Between keeping track of everyone in your family (and making custom T-shirts so everyone matches), planning the trip involves a lot more than day-of preparation. So, when it comes time to wake the family up early to get the crew to Disney bright and early so you can hit every ride, you won’t have time or the patience to deal with big roadblocks when you’re supposed to be having the time of your life....

An estimated 11 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 44 are affected by endometriosis, a painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. “The tissue often travels backwards from inside the uterus, through the fallopian tubes, into the pelvis and becomes trapped in the pelvic cavity,” Dr. Edward Tangchitnob, an OB-GYN with Emanate Health in Southern California, tells SheKnows. “[This can] lead to scarring, inflammation, and cysts....
