Relaying the story of Catherine Danielle “Kya” Clark, Delia Owens’ book follows a solitary young woman who’s been shunned by her community, save for one young boy named Tate Walker, who sees Kya’s gentle, tender nature....

Moms are strong — that’s no news flash. Also, doctors are strong — every day and especially now, in the midst of a pandemic. What is possibly stronger than a mom who is also an ER doctor working on the frontlines? Step aside, Hercules, and meet Dr. Michelle Wan, an emergency room doctor in Atlanta, whose breastfeeding photo is giving us life, just when we need it most. “The unchartered waters of this global pandemic are overwhelming and at times, I feel discouraged,” Wan wrote in a Facebook post on Monday, sharing the professional portrait by Karen Bagley of Significant Moment Photography, which was taken two weeks before the coronavirus reached Georgia....

Americans are estimated to spend between $942.6 and $960.4 billion on holiday-related expenses this year. And even if you try to be careful, the costs do add up: toys from Santa, thank-you gifts for your kid’s teachers, host gift bottles of wine for holiday parties and even travel costs for your whole family to visit extended family far off....

But before you bust out the buckets of sunscreen to slather the kids with SPF 100 and make them look like giant marshmallows frolicking through the sprinklers, keep in mind there are simpler ways to sun-proof....

Meghan Markle has been compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, countless times at this point — sometimes for their taste in fashion, sometimes for their struggle to abide by the royal machine, and sometimes for their enormous capacity for empathy and advocating for those who are experiencing a trying chapter in their lives. Today, Tyler Perry is reminding us once more of Meghan’s similarity to Diana with a heartwarming story he shared at the 2022 Baby2Baby gala....

Early parent life means changing one hell of a lot of diapers. For those of us trapped in the feed-poop-change-sleep-repeat cycle with our littles, we might be looking forward with bated breath (literally, because ugh that smell) to the point in our parenting future when that baby is totally diaper-free. But getting from one stage to the next isn’t always an easy transition (is it ever, really?). So, when you do find yourself in the throes of potty training, you may end up longing for those early days when you could slap a diaper on your babe and call it a night....

One of the biggest-ticket items on your baby registry is a crib, aka the only place other than your arms that your little bundle of joy will sleep the most. It’s normal to envision different styles of cribs while you nest. After all, decorating the nursery is an exciting time for new moms (not to mention it’s probably the only chance you’ll get to decorate your child’s entire room to your — and only your — specifications)....

There’s nothing like some rain to put a damper on your outside plans, but as a parent of a restless kid, you’ve still got to get outside for your daily walks — rain or shine.

Toilet paper holders might not be something you think about when you’re designing or thinking about upgrading your bathroom. Just think about how often a family member reaches for a square of toilet paper a day. That toilet paper holder gets a lot of use. You don’t want a rusty or unreliable holder that’s wobbly and threatens to fall off the wall every other day. You also don’t want your guests awkwardly trying to fix the holder in your bathroom if it happens to fall while they’re in there....

We know a final girl when we see her in a horror movie — she’s young, chaste, and often coded with a moral superiority that differs from her cohort. But since the days of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween, the final girl trope has manifested in all sorts of complicated and compelling characters that subvert the original definition, growing far beyond the rigid archetype.
