A far cry from the Youtube videos of guys working out in weirdly lit basements, today’s online workouts are portals that transport you directly into high-quality action. With them, you can see your real-time heart rate, hop into a high-intensity interval training session, or get screamed at by professional trainers while pedaling your spin bike — all from the comfort of your home. The best part? When you’re done, you can hit your own shower....
These seven movements are as essential to you as they were to our large-browed ancestors, as they’re a basis for just about every movement we make. “When you perform these seven exercises on a regular basis, you reap benefits that are both aesthetic and functional,” says Chris Stevenson, CSCS, owner of Stevenson Fitness in Oak Park, California. “First, you have the ability and energy to do what you want with your children, without restriction....
The easy guess is that she’s happy; maybe so, but not all the time, says Heidi McBain, a licensed marriage and family therapist in the Dallas area. For one, this pregnancy might not be completely wanted, or at least needs some getting used to. After that, she could be wrestling with not being in control of her body, what kind of mom will she be, how her identity will change, the affect a baby will have on her other kids, all of which might be exacerbated if she’s already struggling with depression or anxiety....
There are two varieties to choose from: black cast iron, and enamel cast iron. The one you pick depends on how much time you want to invest in your pan. Meaning, it’s best to pre-season a black cast iron pan, because it boosts the flavor output, while ceramic ones are wash and wear. “The black cast iron with no enamel coating are usually sold pre-seasoned. That pan is ready to go and you can start cooking in it....

No matter which online food delivery option you choose, bear in mind that this goes way beyond just shoveling food down your gullet. Eating is a communal experience, especially for kids. Family dinner engages their senses and helps finicky eaters explore foods through texture, color, and smell. Cooking also helps kids learn about math and science, as they measure out ingredients and see how temperature can change what foods look and taste like....
Of course, the storage unit that works best for you will depend on what types of toys your kid gravitates towards. If they like balls and big trucks, or larger dolls, then a toy storage unit with larger, deeper compartments, like a toy chest, may be the way to go. But if your kid favors arts and crafts, or smaller toys with lots of parts, you’ll want a toy organizer with compartments and removable bins (preferably ones that provide some visibility into what’s inside)....
“Give the person some time and space to get past the emotion,” psychotherapist and author Tina Tessina told Fatherly. “If you think they’re really working themselves up, ask some who, what, when, why, where and how questions. That will engage the rational mind, and slow down the emotions.” Crying in many ways is a healthy response to emotional distress. There’s evidence that tears release oxytocin and other endorphins and help restore emotional equilibrium when people are very happy or very sad....
When it came time to decorate our first home as a married couple, a merging of our lives, a consolidation of our stuff, things went off the rails fairly quickly. I generally know what I like and know specifically what I don’t. But I couldn’t argue from a place of power about anything because what had sufficed as interior decoration in my last apartment was a mix of furniture and knick-knacks I’d either inherited or discovered on the street (“Yes, of course it’ll match....
Of course, there are more than a few ways to make a drink, but the basic ingredients for a Toddy are six-to-eight-oz of hot water (or sometimes tea,) a two-ounce pour of whiskey, a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a garnish (usually a lemon wedge but sometimes a cinnamon stick is more appropriate.) While the drink was created in Scotland, you can use nearly any style whiskey you like....
If this sounds like you, or even if you’ve failed at a resolution after much preparation, consider this your official pardon from the guilt of failed resolutions past. As happiness expert Arthur C. Brooks wrote in The Atlantic last year, “If meeting self-improvement goals were so easy, we wouldn’t need to make resolutions in the first place — we would just change.” So, resolutions are hard. That’s a given. But they’re much much harder when you make one very common mistake: giving up a bad habit....
To discourage people from using the pool as a discreet bathroom, the Center for Disease Control has released a series of gifs that work as a guide for healthy swimming, which immediately got tons of traction on Twitter, for what we think are clearly obvious reasons. “Pee in the toilet, not in the pool!” one of the viral tweets explains. “When pee and chlorine mix in the pool, there is less chlorine available to kill germs....

Originally released as awesome GameBoy games in the mid-90s (I was a Pokémon Red guy myself), Pokémon managed to take the world by storm with multiple generations of little and big monsters — television, card games, and merchandising, merchandising, merchandising. We’re talking everything from Pikachu latte mugs to Evee slippers, Pokémon birthday parties and card swap events. The Pokémon universe’s items are universal symbols of youth and reckless fun: you can see and know a Pokéball yards away, even if you’ve never watched the show....
In June of next year, the Court is set to rule on a case that would completely overturn the Roe v. Wade decision and trigger the enactment of dozens of near-total or total bans in states throughout the country. Abortion is an important family planning tool for parents and their existing children, and if abortion bans were able to be enacted widespread across the United States, families will struggle financially, physically, and more....
Is it a bit schlocky? Sure. But it’s nonetheless a poignant notion, one that’s very apparent than during this holiday season, the Super Bowl of memory making. Yes, the high-stakes have to do with pop culture’s spit-shined image of seasonal merriment. But it’s also because this time of year presents a big opportunity to do forge family traditions. Some of these traditions happen by accident; others will be sustained through a lot of effort....
