We’re more than halfway into April, a.k.a. Earth Month — the unofficial expansion of what was previously Earth Day. Because we all know, we need much more than a mere day to celebrate, educate, and demonstrate in the hopes of saving our endangered planet. This month, we have an opportunity to learn about the Earth’s history, climate change, and how to care for the world we’ve got. Here’s how to teach your kids about Earth Month and Earth Day, celebrate the holiday’s rich history, and maybe even save the planet while you’re at it....

Starting around the time Halloween ends, a countdown to New Year’s Day begins in my mind. My list of “to-dos” lengthens, my bandwidth stretches beyond its limit, and my time, money, and energy begin to deplete. Often that means patience begins to run low, too. I’m sure most people reading this can relate — the days between Halloween and New Year’s Day are tough. Festive, but exhausting. That’s especially true for single parents and solo parents: parents who, like me, have no co-parent in the picture at all....

The last decade has seen some huge strides for body acceptance and positivity in the health space. The parts of the social contract that long made people (wrongly) believe it was acceptable to make comments about people’s bodies, food habits or claim to know something about their health has, for the most part, evolved enough to make it obvious that it’s aggressively unhelpful, rude and icky behavior. Which is objectively a good thing to keep getting better at since weight stigma and discrimination is still running rampant — causing harm to people’s self-esteem and mental health and making it consistently harder for them to get accurate, useful medical care....

Will Kevin Federline’s drama surrounding Britney Spears ever end? Last week, Federline told The Daily Mail that his and Spears’ sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, “have decided they are not seeing her right now,” adding that they decided not to go to her wedding to Sam Asghari. He also brought up a bunch of odd stuff about her dad Jamie and the 13-year conservatorship he put Spears under that controlled her life, finances, and career....

We’ve all been waiting for the day Meghan Markle and Prince Harry do a sit-down interview and now that day is about to come. We have to thank Oprah Winfrey for her friendship with the royal couple because this no-holds-barred interview is going to be must-see TV. CBS revealed the big news on Monday that the 90-minute special will air on Sunday, March 7. Winfrey will speak with Meghan first, which is eye-opening information given the fact that she has borne the biggest burden of the couple when it comes to public scrutiny....

If you follow the Duchess of Sussex closely, you’re no doubt aware of stylist Jessica Mulroney, Meghan Markle’s BFF. Mulroney helped plan her wedding to Prince Harry (and her own kids were part of the ceremony); she also helped plan Meghan’s baby shower, and was an occasional caretaker for baby Archie in Canada. In other words, these two are close — or at least they were. Mulroney is facing swift and severe backlash after Black influencer Sasha Exeter came forward with a series of threatening messages she’d received from the stylist....

If there’s one way to get your wedding guests all riled up and cause a big dramatic bruhaha, it’s to tell them your wedding is child-free. While some folks love child-free weddings, other folks hate them with the passion of a thousand suns and will be loud and proud about it. There’s certainly nothing wrong with asking parents to find a sitter for your big day, and many parents would appreciate a chance to go out without their children, but if you’re planning a child-free wedding, there are certain things you should take into consideration — like trying not to schedule it on your niece’s birthday....

Here’s a simple rule we think couples should follow when it comes to baby names: Both parents should like the name, or at least not actively dislike it. It can be hard for some to find this middle ground, but it’s important that you make the effort, as it will set the tone for how you raise your child together. For this reason, we’re a little worried about an expecting mom who posted on Reddit about her name disagreement with her fiancé....

In the era of misinformation where individuals are growing increasingly unsure about what sources are credible and which ones are not, it seems celebrities get more of a pass when it comes to transparency about their own health and wellness brands. From Gwyneth Paltrow’s highly-criticized, but equally adored health and wellness company, Goop to Jessica Alba’s billion-dollar product empire, The Honest Co., these celebrities are using their status to cash in without necessarily proving that the claims made on the packages of their various products actually hold up or come backed by science....

Keto is short for ketogenic diet, which is a low carbohydrate, moderate protein, and high fat program. The goal of a keto diet is to be in a metabolic state known as “ketosis,” through the restriction of carbs. Normally your body takes carbs like pizza, pasta and pastries and turns them into glucose to power itself. But the keto diet helps the body to fuel itself without glucose or high levels of carbs, metabolizing fat instead....
