Sure, you can tell a spooky story any time of the year — but Halloween is the most perfect time, right? Still, you might be a little hesitant to read your kids a ghost story — what if they end up waking you up in the middle of the night with the parent’s worst nightmare: “I’m scared. Can I sleep with you”?” Luckily, we’ve found some classic scary Halloween stories for kids that carefully straddle the line between frightfully fun and nightmarish....
Claudia Conway is letting the world know who she is, and there’s one thing that’s certain: She is not walking in her controversial parents’ footsteps. During a recent interview with Bustle, newly 18-year-old Claudia — daughter of Kellyanne Conway, the political consultant known for getting Donald Trump elected to the United States presidency in 2016, and George Conway, conservative lawyer and co-founder of anti-Trump PAC The Lincoln Project — set the record straight on her upbringing, her views, and her current relationship with her mom....
We buy everything online these days, from books to groceries to lingerie to, yes, mattresses. And though buying something so large and so tactile online can seem strange — is it really wise to buy a mattress without testing it first? — there are a ton of benefits to going the mattress-in-a-box route over the traditional innerspring mattress showroom experience. Boxed mattresses vary from traditional innerspring spring mattresses in a number of ways....

You’re jonesing for your regular run but it’s hot outside — like, heat advisory, bring the kids in to cool down a few times an afternoon, considering buying a plastic kiddie pool for yourself hot. What do you do? Stay inside or dare to sweat it out and exercise in the heat?...

Chris Martin and Paltrow share daughter Apple as well as son Moses Martin, and you don’t have to look far on Paltrow’s social media to see that young beauty Apple is the light of her mom’s life. She also happens to take after her gorgeous blonde momma more than just a little, as the slew of lookalike mother-daughter selfies below will inform you in no time, and it’s been an absolute honor to watch Apple grow up from a sweet little girl to a full-grown model (for Goop, anyway)....
It’s only a matter of time until your kids start asking about the birds and the bees. It starts out innocently enough. “So-and-so at the bus stop told me how babies are made.” Gulp I’m guessing you know how this goes… Time to start really thinking about sex education, if you haven’t already. Today, kids pick up a lot of their sex education from their peers and on the internet. There’s a huge amount of misinformation and not a lot of safe spaces for them to ask questions, much less have a positive, productive dialogue....
It is officially well into cold and flu season (and we’re seeing with new COVID variants and RSV another wave of illness) — which means everyone around you is at risk of getting sick. Ugh. While you might be able to avoid coughing and sneezing at work by avoiding those who are infected, what happens when you’re the only healthy one in a house filled with sickos? Fortunately you don’t have to move out....
It’s a tough world out there right now. With so much uncertainty, fear, and intense energy in the news (and it has been in the news consistently for a long, long time), it’s no wonder why so many of us find ourselves spiraling through worst case scenarios and scary thoughts and feelings. Then, of course, once we find ourselves down this negative rabbit hole, it can be so hard to climb out of it....
Will the drama between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian ever end? We’re not sure — the Kardashian-Jenner family is reportedly “not happy” with West’s accusations that he was excluded from his 4-year-old daughter Chicago’s birthday party over the weekend — despite his last-minute appearance. On Monday, a source exclusively told Us Weekly, “Kanye has caused a lot of drama lately with the family [and] they’re not happy with what’s transpired over the last few days....
After contracting COVID for a second time, Lori Wiitanen-Parker’s entire life was turned upside down. The 52-year-old mother had already battled the disease in December of 2020, but when it returned in July of this year she knew something was wrong. She began experiencing severe fatigue, heart palpitations, a constant ringing in her ears, chronic foot pain and a hard time swallowing among other things. She met with doctors who were unable to provide any real solutions, but they knew one thing for sure, she had long COVID....
Losing my son Jackson to cancer at just seven years old has been the most heartwrenching experience of my life. This past July, Jackson passed away just six days after he was diagnosed with cancer — a week after I had given birth to a surrogate baby. Jackson was a kind and charismatic child who was interested in playing sports, going to church, and attending school. Jackson loved playing with his little brother and was always compelled to help others....
We all follow our favorite celebrities for a glimpse into their lives, their cute dogs and a chance to maybe understand how they get their hair so shiny (it’s money) — but, of course, we know that our favorite celebrities aren’t doctors or medical professionals and aren’t equipped to dispense such advice while we’re living in a global pandemic. Conveniently, a number of our favorite celebs know that too and want to help steer their fans in the right direction ....
When my husband, Peter, and I walked into the ultrasound room, the technician greeted us with a smile and small talk as she covered my belly in lubricating jelly. Weeks prior, while preparing dinner, we had decided on the name Ceol, which means “music” in Irish, for our second child. “You’re 12 weeks pregnant,” the technician asked and I nodded as a knot clenched in my stomach. When I had been around 10 weeks pregnant, I noticed my belly had stopped growing....
As a mom, I’m constantly…oh, wait…hang on a second…interrupted. When giving out instructions, retelling the greatest story ever, or showering, it’s all cut short. My family has a lot to say and it explodes in my general direction without a thought as to what I’m trying to accomplish. This pattern has been at play for a while now and honestly, it’s my fault. I let it build up like that sticky soap scum on my shower door because I wanted my 8-year-old, husband, and dogs to feel heard in their world — but now I’m feeling unsupported in mine....
Updated April 1, 2020, 11 a.m. ET: When Prince Charles was diagnosed with coronavirus, many feared that the 71-year-old would fall severely ill — but it appears that the royal has only suffered a week or so of mild symptoms, and is now well enough to be addressing the public once again. Charles recorded a video message for the public on his recovery and how he’s been coping since his diagnosis and quarantine....
To the outside world, Prince William seems to be a happy-go-lucky dad to his and Kate Middleton’s three kids Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2. And, sure, for the most part he likely is. But in a new BBC documentary, William admits that becoming a father brought back the emotional trauma of losing his own mother, the late Princess Diana — and, at times, he has struggled to navigate pain he thought he’d already “dealt with” prior to becoming a parent....
If you have a child in school right now, you may have received a number of letters sent home about precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a.k.a. the coronavirus. Keep your kids home if they’re sick. Sing “Happy Birthday” when washing your hands, and so on. What most of these letters don’t have is any kind of indication that the schools will be closing soon. As of Wednesday, UNESCO reported that 290 million students are out of school as a result of virus containment efforts across the world....
There comes a time when the people closest to you will face the loss of a loved one. You want to do anything you can to help them in a time of grief, but sometimes all they really need is a small token knowing you’re there for them until they are ready to talk. Picking out a sympathy gift that’s meaningful and equal parts helpful to them can be tricky to find — for a child, you’ll want to give them something like a stuffed animal, and things like meal kits or some (not all are helpful) books can serve as a guide during this time....
