We have been vicariously enjoying so much of Ashley Graham’s journey as a first-time mom. The model has shared everything from baby Isaac’s birth story to her postpartum underwear preference to the joys of having to change a diaper in the middle of Staples. Now that we have arrived at sleep-training chapter of her story, it seems Graham is experiencing something many new parents suffer without even realizing it: postpartum insomnia....

Some days are bad days. Maybe it was dark and rainy when you woke up. Maybe you hit the wine a little hard last night, and you’re feeling bloated (and, not to mention, headache-y). Maybe you’ve been going through something lately. But no matter the reason, you’ve encountered some kind of bad day and it might make you feel less than in love with your body. And when a bad day comes, you want something, anything, to make you feel better....

I’ve always been something of a minimalist traveler. I find that setting off — whether to another city or to a country across the world — with one bag and one pair of shoes can work wonders for both travel spontaneity (why not book a last-minute detour when you don’t have shit to carry?) and for back pain (I don’t have shit to carry!). And when I had my son, I was determined this part of my travel personality would not change — at least not too much....

It’s been a rollercoaster year of heartbreak and happiness — and heartbreak again — for James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly. The couple have been very open about their past experiences with miscarriage, and now, the actor revealed the devastating news that Kimberly, who was expecting the couple’s sixth child, recently miscarried at 17 weeks. Going through a single miscarriage can be devastating — let alone two within a year’s time, and the Van Der Beeks went through this experience in November 2019....

Actress Kirstie Alley died after a short battle with cancer, according to a statement by her family. The 71-year-old Cheers star was beloved during her long life, starring in movies like Look Who’s Talking and Sibling Rivalry, but her favorite role was as a mom and a grandmother. “To all our friends, far and wide around the world…We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” wrote Lillie Price Stevenson, 28, and William True Stevenson, 30, on her Instagram yesterday....

When you’re in the White House, it’s natural to be somewhat paranoid about having enemies. When you’re in the Trump White House, that goes double — but not even paranoia can explain the bizarre non-disclosure agreements that authorities have found in many Trump aides’ contracts, including former WH advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. It’s now disputed what role exactly Wolkoff played in the administration since she claims she was Melania Trump’s closest friend and advisor and Melania refers to her as “a former contractor who advised my office....

In a decade of trying years for the reproductive rights movement, 2022 is proving to be uniquely challenging — with numerous restrictive state-level anti-abortion laws progressing across state legislatures in states that already have limited access to abortion care resources. One of the latest to hit the floor is a Missouri bill that seeks to restrict the kind of abortion care offered to pregnant people with non-viable pregnancies that could prove fatal without intervention....

The news about what’s happening with our children’s school this fall changes much faster than we can even write about it. I laugh now at the fact that we naively planned this feature to be about how relieved parents were to be able to send their kids back to classrooms this month and next. (And on the inside, I cry.) Even those parents who are sending their children to school probably aren’t feeling any kind of lighthearted relief at the moment....

Social media obsession satire Ingrid Goes West was released five years ago to mixed reviews — but its exploration of how women construct personalities and perform for one another online may well have been ahead of its time. Ingrid Goes West stars Aubrey Plaza as Ingrid Thorburn, a lonely, awkward, and grieving woman whose desire to be besties with the social media influencers on her feed sours into mania....

Like many immigrants, my parents came to this country with not much more than the clothes on their backs (my father from Cuba and my mother from Russia) and the little bit of cash they were able to save. At the time, I was only 8 and didn’t understand what was happening, but my parents assured me that this move was best for our family. And it was — they eventually opened their own real estate business and I attended a top college in New York City....

Brenna Huckaby knows something about grace under pressure. The Paralympian gold medalist snowboarder is a mom of two, a model, and happens to be the first Paralympian to ever appear in the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated, NBD. Did all that prepare her for having to quarantine with her kids this year? Not quite. But it certainly showed her she’s a badass who can roll with whatever life throws at her....

Let’s face it: when it comes to working out, most of us are more focused on the preparation of it — i.e. getting mentally ready to step foot into the gym — and then the actual doing of it then we are with the post-workout part. It’s probably because when we think of exercise we think of changing our body composition whether it’s shedding a few pounds or getting more toned....

We’ve come such a long way in terms of men being engaged and active fathers who put in the time and effort to parent their kids, but, unfortunately, some men still don’t have a clue. A dad of toddler twins had the audacity to wonder on Reddit if he was out of line for yelling at his recently hired, college-age, part-time babysitter for not potty-training his 2-year-olds, eliminating their tantrums, and teaching them to speak....

Until your toddler is potty trained, diapers will be a staple in your household that won’t be going away for at least two years. On average, newborns are expected to use six to ten diapers per day, and by the time your baby is 9 to 12 months old, they’ll still be tearing through eight diapers in a 24-hour timespan. In other words, you’ll be changing them a lot. While many parents opt for disposable diapers, there’s no denying the waste they cause — both financially and in actual landfills....

As you age, so does your body — which doesn’t always mean the best for your sex life. If you’ve already reached menopause (meaning you haven’t had your period in over a year), then you probably already understand where we’re going with this. While yes, it sucks to know that physically, you may not react in bed in ways you once did, also know that it doesn’t mean the end of intimacy....

One of the first senses children pick up on is sound — both the ones they hear (i.e. your voice or the booming bark of your family dog) and the ones they make themselves (cooing, laughing, babbling). Over time, this translates to your child identifying musical tunes and finding little diddies that resonate with them. Whether that be a catchy track off a Laurie Berkner album or a captivating earworm like Baby Shark, kids have rhythm, and if your little one loves banging together pots and pans or starts bopping up and down when their song comes on the radio, you might consider adding one of the best music sets for kids to their toy collection....
