Think of a comforter as the home design-equivalent to your favorite sweater: this stylish layer will make you feel nice and toasty without the skin-drying, budget-breaking effects of cranking your heater all the way up to full blast....

A mother’s love for her kids never ends. Britney Spears is doing her best to show her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden, whom she shares with ex Kevin Federline, that they are still very much loved despite their recent disagreements.

When someone says they have a “fast” metabolism, it’s easy to be not all that sure what the heck they are talking about. Is there really such a thing as a fast versus slow metabolism? And if so, is it possible for us to ramp up our own to have some control over it? What is metabolism? First, it’s important to know what exactly metabolism is. “Metabolism is the term that describes a combination of processes that the body uses to convert food into fuel to keep you alive,” Dr....

Whether or not 2020 yielded a baby boom remains to be seen for a few months, but if you happen to be one of the lucky parents expecting soon, we are here to offer some help with potential baby names. As much as we poke fun at some celebrities for their unique name choices (looking at you, Elon Musk and Grimes), famous people do have a knack for setting trends....

When Elliot Page penned a note in late December of last year disclosing that he was a transgender man (who used he/they pronouns), it was a powerful moment across offline and online communities. For someone in the public eye to do that vulnerable work of introducing that part of themselves (with grace and some devoted attention to his community) and to let the world share in celebrating their truth — even in a small way — meant a lot to so many other trans folks young and old....

Since the pandemic, pretty much every parent on the planet suddenly feels way more invested (even more than they already were) in amping up their family’s immune systems. But there are a few folks who have double expertise in keeping kids healthy: moms who also happen to be medical doctors. We tapped our favorite mama docs (and one dentist) for their healthy hacks and not-so-secret secrets to staying strong and sickness-free as a family....

The holiday season is a time for friends, family and communities to gather together and celebrate. Most often, these celebrations are gathered around the table (and more often than not super focused on the food on it) and that can be a complicated and stressful for anyone. But when you’re already living with an eating disorder or in recovery, it can be especially difficult to navigate the high-pressured, food-centric season without a triggering or emotionally trying experience....

When you’re a kid, the holidays are a magical time filled with loved ones, delicious foods and, of course, gifts. But when you become a parent, you quickly realize that the magic of the holiday season rests squarely on your shoulders (this rings doubly true for us moms).

Thankfully, there’s a browser extension — Capital One Shopping — that is basically a very helpful digital elf that can help you make your lists and check them twice (for the best available deals, that is)....

“Where is your favorite place?” my 7-year-old daughter Vivian asked Dan, my forever-fiancé, over sandwiches at Chick-Fil-A this winter. He could have listed off the many cities he had traveled to, but then I felt those butterflies when he said, “in your mom’s arms.” It was spontaneous and sweet — and immediately my son Phoenix, 9, rolled his eyes, and my daughter let out an on-cue “Ooooohh!” “You can sit together since you’re in love,” she said, and smiled at me....

In a world full of never-ending emails and meetings, juggling kids to after-school activities, social media distractions, and our general habit of trying to multitask, it’s easy to get bogged down and stressed out.
