As a Texan, I’ve been overcome with grief during the past week as our state and much of the country has watched Senate Bill 8 pass in disbelief. I became a mother when I was ready, and I am heartbroken that millions of people –– many of whom are already parents –– could potentially be robbed of the same chance. Like so many of us working in the reproductive justice field, this is deeply personal for me....
Sunday’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta showed a Halloween party at friend Falynn Guobadia’s house attended by cast members Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, Kandi Burruss, LaToya Ali, Cynthia Bailey, and Kenya Moore. It was a surreal scene for a few reasons: the sparse attendance, the even sparser snacks, Cynthia’s “hand sanitizer” costume reminding us just how long some celebs have been living in a post-COVID world. But LaToya, in rare form, came the closest to directly addressing the most unsettling aspect of the scene: the giant Native American headdress Kenya had on in service of a “warrior princess” costume finished off with face paint....
If Meghan Markle wears something, we’re buying it. We can’t get enough of her royal-approved wardrobe picks — from her flattering and trendy Mother jeans to the eco-friendly Rothy’s flats she wears on repeat. And her maternity style? Equally impressive. One of her favorite brands to wear while pregnant with baby Archie, Hatch, recently debuted a collection for Target earlier this year, and a bunch of pieces sold out immediately. The brand’s summer collection just rolled out, so you’ll want to hop on these easy-breezy pieces—which are all $40 or under....

Confession: I try to forget the events of February 14, 2018, on a daily basis — as in, every day that I send my son to school. That’s not fair, since the parents of the kids who died at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that day don’t get to forget. The Parkland massacre affects them always, and yet so many of them are also devoting their lives to ending gun violence....
Here’s the thing about the first months after having a baby: No matter how much people talk about what the postpartum period feels like for a mom or birthing parent, you don’t really understand until you’ve been there. Which leads us to a fundamental flaw in this system we call parenting: Your partner may not intuitively know what you’re going through. But just because they don’t feel it doesn’t mean they can’t help you....
When schools were first closed, it was easy to assume that most kids were fine with staying home from school. It was like a bonus school break, only maybe with extra stressed-out parents. But as these weeks drag on, they’re missing more and more of the experiences that we’ve all traditionally valued as part of childhood. Now, many parents and schools are doing their part to make sure one high school milestone, prom, won’t be missed entirely....
Shay Mitchell may be best-known for her roles on the hit TV series Pretty Little Liars and You — as well as her current Hulu show Dollface — but it’s her latest role that has her facing doubt, wondering if she’s doing a good enough job and savoring even the smallest compliments, while also relishing the entire experience. Yep, we’re talking about her role as a new mom. The model, actress, author and entrepreneur gave birth to her first daughter, Atlas Noa, in October 2019, and since then has experienced the joys, fears, fails and ridiculous mom-shaming that pretty much every mama does — which is why she was thrilled to join Pampers’ #ShareTheLove campaign along with fellow multi-hyphenate mom Chrissy Teigen....
Naming a child is a process that’s very personal to parents. Whether it’s a name that they’re fond of or a name that has a familial significance, the name is always going to be open to scrutiny. Another tricky parenting situation can occur when stepping into a relationship where the other partner has a child. Combine these two scenarios and you have a situation that calls for an intervention, a mediator, or at least some outside advice....
One of the best ways to ease stress, get the creative juices flowing, and create something beautiful to display on your walls is by painting at home. Whether you’ve done it your entire life or are just looking to try something new to occupy time and embrace your inner artist, painting is for everyone and all ages. Aside from a canvas or paper, you’ll need the right brushes based on the type of paint you’re using....

Your new baby boy may feel like a wonderful gift — so it’s no wonder that many moms and dads choose a name that means “gift” when they’re looking for a baby name with a great meaning. People have been naming their little ones after the word “gift” for a very long time, with many bestowing names that mean “gift of God” or even “gift of Zeus” upon their newborn children....
Riding in the car with my husband, I planned my strategy. It was just the two of us — three if you counted the growing baby in my belly. The timing was perfect. Besides the 1980s glam band shouting from the radio, there were no distractions. My feet started tingling, not because they were swollen, but because I was excited. My husband and I agreed on everything and I couldn’t wait for that trend to continue....
