Spoiler alert: This article contains key plot points of This Is Us Season 4, Episode 12, titled “A Hell of a Week: Part Two.” If you thought we might get an emotional reprieve after last week’s super-intense Randall-centric episode of This Is Us, well, you were obviously off-base. Because this week’s episode, which shifted the focus to Kevin, was heavy. Sure, there were moments of humor and lightheartedness in there — it is Kevin, after all....

For Costco card-holders and their family members, we have some exciting news: treasure-trove’s best offering is back. Like most retailers, the wholesale club scaled back some of its regular activities as a safety precaution amid the Coronavirus pandemic. From the beginning of the outbreak, Costco had to close its food courts and stop offering free samples to maintain social distancing protocols. Now, with states starting to reopen their economies, the company’s food courts and free samples are slowly getting back to business — even if it’s not as usual....

As I’ve seen over and over again throughout my 16 years working for the New York City Department of Education, when society faces a crisis, the general public tends to lay it at the feet of teachers and insist that we find a solution. Rather than giving us the support and resources to actually tackle the problem, they tell us to use grit and resilience to make it work. The latest example: Folks want schools to remain open during the surge of the Omicron variant during the COVID-19 pandemic....

When the author of Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff released her secretly recorded tapes of her conversations with Melania Trump, we knew the response from the Trumps would be less than pretty. Despite Trump releasing a statement of her own slamming the book as mere gossip, the Trumps refused to stop there. In October 2020, The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Wolkoff and accused her of breaking an official nondisclosure agreement with her tell-all book....

My miscarriage started in the grocery store. I was scouring the breakfast food aisle for my kids’ favorite cereal, something I’ve done a hundred times before, when the bottom fell out of our lives. I instantly knew the wetness in my underwear was a bad sign, and I fought back tears as I pulled the kids out of the shopping cart and escorted them into the small bathroom stall. They both put their tiny hands on my back as I hung my head and sobbed at the drops of blood in the toilet....

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is upon us, and while kids who celebrate are well aware this means lots of gifts, they may not be familiar with the fascinating story behind how the holiday came to be — and the symbolism that dates back thousands of years. Check out these crazy facts about Hanukkah that kids may not already know, plus some new and old traditions to fold into your festivities. But fair warning for the littles: It’s a beautiful holiday that sprung from some pretty gruesome origins....

We’ve heard of keto breath and keto flu, but now there’s another possible side effect from the popular diet that’s taken the Internet by storm: Keto crotch. The latest Internet sensation can be traced back to a Reddit board about the ketogenic diet, where a number of women had complained about suffering from vaginal odor after starting the diet. “I’ve been on the diet for about a month and a half now and I’ve noticed that my vaginal odors have gotten MUCH stronger,” wrote one user....

If there’s one thing that’ll get the mom-shamers — particularly the conservative / religious types — to come out in droves, it’s gender-bending kids. Heaven forbid a mother let her boy have long hair / let her daughter wear a suit / the list goes on. Just last year, even Instagram was deleting photos of boys with long hair — because they were swimming shirtless, and were assumed to be shirtless little girls....

When it comes to cleaning products, it can feel like you have to choose between products that are free from toxic chemicals and products that actually work — and, much as we might like our homes to be free of irritating chemicals, we also need to know that what we’re cleaning is actually getting clean. But there’s a new household cleaning brand on the market that shoppers swear gives you the best of both worlds: Force of Nature....

We have so many problems with the comments on Ant Anstead’s most recent post about his breakup with Christina Anstead, we don’t even know where to begin. First, there are the randos who are armchair-diagnosing Christina with various conditions and blaming the couple’s breakup on said (totally speculative and undiagnosed by a professional!) conditions, from postpartum depression to adrenal fatigue. Then there are the randos who insist that the Ansteads’ breakup — nay, any breakup between parents!...

Twenty-eight, 11, 6, 0,12, 68, 75. These numbers look more like Powerball lottery numbers than the temperatures in Texas from the past week. But they were. In a state that does not often get snow, many were thrilled to have a winter scene unfold on Texas soil. Children made big plans for snowball fights and snow angels. But as the snow fell and temperatures began to descend, the scene quickly changed from wintery bliss to hellish nightmare....

Kids driving you crazy? Children need constant engagement to keep them from bouncing off the walls — or at least bouncing off the walls at a reasonable level. But sometimes you need a moment of peace where everyone is Just. Sitting. Down. Arts and crafts projects can be an amazing way to keep kids attention, engage their creative sides and help them develop their imaginations (all without screens!). Of course, all parents have had that pull-your-hair out experience when their little Picasso spills a container of glitter on the carpet or gets a little over-enthusiastic with the paintbrush flinging....

When new moms notice milk stains on their t-shirts, it can be a very frustrating feeling. Breast milk is essentially as valuable as gold. You mentally will your body to produce more milk for your baby, but sometimes the milk leaks out when you don’t want it to. If you’re sick of ruining your shirts and watching precious milk go to waste, you should consider trying out milk savers. Breast shells also help prevent chafing and allow your nipples to heal between feedings....

When you think of a kettlebell workout, you probably think of the traditional swing movement that works primarily your legs and core. Which is probably why you probably reach for a set of dumbbells when you want to tone your arms. However, don’t discount the efficacy of a kettlebell for your next arm workout to help you get those sculpted biceps. “A kettlebell is arguably one of the most versatile pieces of training equipment you can have in your arsenal,” Justin Fauci, NASM-certified personal trainer, co-founder of Caliber Fitness, tells SheKnows....

Everyone I know is sick or has been super sick over the last few weeks (months?). The flu, RSV, and COVID are going around — not to mention a million other random viruses — and it feels like you barely get over your last bout of feeling crummy before you have something again. Having to take care of sick kids while sick (or while sick and working) is exhausting, and parents are feeling extremely burnt out....
