Surfin’ USA Entertainment Time: 20–25 minutes. What You’ll Need: A raft-type pool float or something you can stand on top of; and ideally, a watch or something you can use as a timer or stopwatch. There are a couple of ways to play this game of balance and skill, depending on the number of rafts you have. If you have more than one raft, divide the players into teams and assign several to each float....
Morgan McCoy, who spent the night in the emergency room with her daughter, said her daughter also had a seizure as a result of ingesting the drug. She shared her experience on Facebook to talk about the dangers of the packaging of marijuana edibles. McCoy explained that they were visiting friends and family over the weekend in a now-viral Facebook post, and that one parent, a medical marijuana patient, had a weed gummy that they ultimately put in a dresser in the bedroom they were staying in, and that her kid — who usually stayed in that room — went looking for her clothes, she saw the gummy and ate it, thinking it was candy....
1. The Mesa Trail/Southern Sun Brewery, Boulder, Colorado The Hike: Buzzing with Teslas, college students, and adventure junkies of all types, Boulder is a stunning sight with the sandstone cliffs of the Flatirons rising up above the rolling plains. While climbers from around the world flock here to climb the rock, the place draws outdoorsy families as well since the town’s public land is so easy to access. The highlight is the Mesa Trail, a 6....
Years ago in my teen years, then later a working student, and later still a side gig and even my real gig, I worked in restaurants. I learned so much at each job, whether a sub shop to a 4 star restaurant. Bordain bordered on Biblical with “Kitchen Confidential.” I had a ball. And sure, I found out how to cook, but more than that, I learned about people, about working, about being organized, following directions,....
Embrace the good with the bad. I recently took a day off to spend with my 3-year-old son. I let him pick the agenda. Inspiration in the grocery checkout lane landed an inexpensive kite, and we spent a magical hour wading in the ocean waves while I taught him to fly it. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader. Opinions expressed in the story do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Fatherly as a publication....
“You know, I’m still learning how to find time for fitness, and we only have one baby,” Arzón tells Fatherly. “Since becoming a parent, my husband and I really have allowed our hustle to happen in bite-size chunks. Sometimes that means putting Athena in the Summit X3 and going out during her nap time. Now that she’s a little bit older, she really engages with the environment.” Summit X3? Yes, Robin Arzón is pitching her brand new running stroller collaboration with Baby Jogger....
According to early childhood psychologist Rebecca Hershberg, Ph.D., founder of Little House Calls Psychological Services, staying on the same team is the best way to engage in tantrum management. Fatherly spoke with Hershberg to find out what exactly a tantrum is, how best to tackle them, and when we can expect them to finally go away. My boys are 5- and 7-years-old. They’ll still occasionally lose their shit. I thought they’d be over it by now....
A chore audit is a process during which couples sit down and make a list of everything it takes to make their home run, talk about their feelings and expectations about each chore, and then assign the tasks fairly. While completing a chore audit may not be the first (second or third) activity you want to schedule for date night, it’ll go a long way in maintaining and increasing overall satisfaction in the relationship....
Following the decision from the Supreme Court, the AAP issued a statement reaffirming its support for “comprehensive, evidence-based reproductive health care services” for adolescents. In it, the organization made it clear that comprehensive reproductive services include access to safe abortion and that removing that access puts adolescents in danger. “This decision carries grave consequences for our adolescent patients,” the AAP’s statement read, “who already face many more barriers than adults in accessing comprehensive reproductive healthcare services and abortion care....
“No, I’m totally not against it,” Driver told Unilad. “For me, it’s a filmmaker’s medium, so my only thing is working with great filmmakers. Whatever the size… it’s never been interesting to me, to an extent. There’s interesting things about working on both. I always just follow people I’d be interested in working with, and whether I’d be right for the part – things like that. No, definitely not averse....
“There, in front of me in the headlights, was Cameron,” Gulbransen said. “He was lying on his back with his blue blankie in his hand. He had gone under the vehicle, I had gone right over his head and killed him. I jumped out of the car, tried to do CPR.” Gulbransen can still taste his blood in his mouth and remembers the way Cameron bled from his nose and ears....
“I don’t even control that. If that that’s how the world sees me, I’ll take it,” she says. Her acting credits range from Joan of Arcadia to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to the FX series Y: The Last Man, streaming on September 13. Work is what she does. But an activist is who she is. And not the eye roll-inducing, performative, sanctimonious kind. She’s a thoughtful writer, a passionate speaker about sexual harassment and racism, and a mom deeply worried about the future, especially in the wake of Texas’ abortion law....
“Our study suggests that increasing the share of one-child generation workers in a given workforce is not going to negatively affect cooperation amongst workers,” according to the study. The research involved a series of in-person interviews with Chinese workers, and scored their willingness to cooperate on a 5-point scale. The results suggest that workers were generally cooperative, whether or not they were born under China’s one-child policy. Still, the researchers credit much of this willingness to work together to cultural norms, so American only-children may not be off the hook....
O’Brien led off the interview with praise of Kutcher’s hair, which prompted the actor to pull back his bangs back to show off his ‘hair loss.’ Viewers who are legitimately bald, or balding, may have wanted to throw something sharp at the television. But still, Kutcher has noticed some changes in his seemingly healthy head of hair and is thankful for his rep as a hat guy. “I’ve established myself as a baseball cap wearing individual,” Kutcher told O’Brien....
“Anything that is connected to the internet is an open window into your privacy. That’s why you should limit how many windows you open into your life,” says Daniel Eliot, the director of education and strategic initiatives at the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). But he also offers up a reality check. As far as baby monitor hacking goes, “I don’t think it’s very common. It gets a lot of press....
The home my wife and I have been renting for the last 10-plus years is being sold. All but the first six months of our marriage has been in this house. Our two oldest took their first steps in our living room, and our baby is currently crawling all over it. The gravity of losing the place we’ve built our family is great, but it’s compounded with the significant rent increase that’s headed our way....
RELATED: The Best New Cars, Trucks, and SUVs for Rich Dads But, as is so often the case, adapting to such competition yields new and improved models. With the traditional sedan facing a legitimate existential crisis, carmakers have had to either adapt and find new gaps in the market, or watch their traditional family conveyances ebb slowly into obsolescence, just as the station wagon did before them. Fortunately, they’ve accepted the challenge and as a result, there are some seriously desirable sedans out there....
You’ve spent long hours, days, and weeks in the office, and after dutifully returning home to shovel the driveway, load the dishwasher, massage your partner’s feet, and tuck the kiddo into bed, now’s the time for you to frag some pogs with your friends. But what are you supposed to do, just sit on the couch? That’s for chumps who don’t have a gaming chair. Whether you’re console-gaming or at the PC, you’ll appreciate a more comfortable seat—and that’s where specialty gaming chairs come in....

RELATED: American Kids Stink at Soccer Because of Baseball Now, there are a few things to consider when finding the right bat for little sluggers. First? These youth baseball bats aren’t designed for live pitching, they’re meant to swat a ball off a stick. Next, they’re also generally sized for kids age six and younger who stand less three-and-a-half feet tall and weigh less than 60 pounds. Size-wise, the bats are usually 24- to 26-ins....
