We’ve all heard of the term “spectrum,” used to describe everything from colors to mental health, but what does it mean when applied to gender and sexuality? As the world has further explored the deepest parts of sexual identity and orientation, spectrums have been created to help people figure out how to talk about a deeply intimate part of your identity. Spectrums also are a useful tool for researchers and educators who are often tasked with explaining the concepts of gender and sexuality to the general public....

Working remotely has become our way of life over the last two years, and as such, you might find yourself at your computer more often thanks to conducting and/or attending Zoom meetings in addition to your other screen time. So it’s no wonder, with all that sitting, that you might find your neck and back a bit stiff and tight by the end of the work day. Not to mention your body might be accustomed to reverting into a hunched position thanks to curling up on your bed or on the couch if you lack a proper desk at home....

Over 30 years ago, Diana Gabaldon began writing a story about a man in a kilt with no idea what it would one day become: the best-selling nine-book series Outlander, adapted in 2014 into a hit Starz TV show featuring Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan as romantic leads Jamie and Claire Fraser....

Merely watching an episode of Fear the Walking Dead makes me feel like I need an entire spa vacation to bring my heart rate back down to normal — I can’t imagine what it’s like to be totally immersed in that world, the way Jenna Elfman is every day while playing June Dorie. That’s one of the reasons it’s fascinating to see what the TV vet does in her zombie-free downtime at home with husband Bodhi Elfman and their sons, 13-year-old Story Elias and 10-year-old Easton Quinn Monroe....

Something that keeps kids occupied and happy, is easy for them to use by themselves, and most importantly — for the purposes of easing that pesky mom guilt, if nothing else — is educational. And one brand that never fails to deliver this type of guilt-free entertainment is LeapFrog....

As sex tech gets more and more advanced, we get closer to having toys that can mimic something close to the sensations of real sex with another human. For people who really love oral sex — no matter how attached they are to their favorite vibrator — the artificial vibes just don’t cut it. But that doesn’t mean the folks behind our favorite sex toys aren’t still trying to capture that same magic....

With summer finally here, cooking outdoors can feel like a celebratory way to usher in the season. While BBQ cookouts paired with refreshing side dishes help us savor the warm weather, it can be a hassle to rely on the grill all of the time for quick weeknight dinners. The kitchen suddenly expands into your outdoor area, and the cleanup time is substantially longer. Yet, there’s something about the charred taste that feels like this sunny time of year....

This weekend, clocks in most parts of the country turned back an hour — “fall back” if you remember your grade school trick — for daylight saving time 2021 which means we all get an extra hour of sleep, right? Well nope, probably not if you’re a parent. “The reality is, kids wake up when they wake up,” Gina Posner, MD, board certified pediatrician at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California tells SheKnows....

In a perfect world, every new parent would be able to afford a night nurse to get through those first few weeks of a baby’s life. Actually, since we’re already fantasizing, every parent would get their own personal Nanny Connie, a.k.a. Connie Simpson, who has raised cared for almost 300 CEO and celebrity babies in their so-called fourth trimester. It’s not that we think parents can’t or shouldn’t be the ones to care for their own kids, but with someone like Nanny Connie around to watch their newborns and get them to sleep, parents could also get a bit of sleep when they so badly need it....

Mom, entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, host and Real Housewives of Potomac star Monique Samuels is an absolute delight. I mean, I only spoke with her on the phone for about fifteen minutes but it was enough to tell that she’s whip-smart, witty, wise and open — so open, in fact, that she and her husband have launched a podcast that delves into the nitty-gritty of their own relationship and parenting styles and serves up their learnings in the most fun and accessible way for listeners....

Pregnant folks are people, too — yet society tends to treat them like baby incubators! There’s something about pregnancy that makes people forget you are still an actual person with boundaries who probably (definitely) does not like being touched without being asked. You would think people who have been pregnant before would know this, but that is not always the case. One first-time pregnant mom wrote about her experience with her mother-in-law constantly touching her baby bump, and Reddit offered her the best comeback ideas....

You don’t have to be a working mom to understand the allure of a slow cooker. After all, it’s an appliance that will cook an entire meal for you while you’re at work all day (or occupying yourself in other ways) without the need for constant stirring or other surveillance. But in my never-ending quest to simplify and streamline my life while maximizing efficiencies, I wanted more (thank you, capitalism). Enter Salsa Chicken: the two-ingredient slow cooker recipe that requires absolutely zero prep....
