RELATED: Thule Chariot Cheetah Cross-Country Kit Biking is the primary reason you should own a Chariot, but did you know you can add skis, like a James Bond car? And even though it takes up more garage space than a Yukon, the ability to bring your kid on winter adventures makes it worthwhile. The skiing and hiking equipment comes with two lightweight skis, a pair of aluminum telescoping tow bars and a hip-hugging waist belt with easy-access water bottle holster....

What to Remember About 5-Year-Old Birthday Parties Developmental milestones for this age include learning how to follow rules and take turns when playing games with other children. So keep the games simple and loosely structured.5-year-olds are active and can pay attention for between 5 and 10 minutes during activities.

It was September 28, 1997, and America was settling in for the ninth season of The Simpsons, an incredible TV comedy that hadn’t missed a step since the 1980s and which would seed countless catchphrases and memes into my awkward dates and internet commentary. Just that previous spring, we had laughed at the antics of Frank Grimes, Hank Scorpio, Homer’s insanity pepper trip (featuring Johnny Cash!), and so much more....

One of our favorite subreddits just so happens to be r/dadjokes, which is full of both groaners and guffaws. The moderators do a good job keeping it clean and sending posts that cross the line over to r/unclejokes, but having amassed 6 million members since 2011, the subreddit has a lot of content to wade through in order to find the real howlers. We know it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing to navigate for some folks, so we rolled up our sleeves and found the absolute best dad jokes on Reddit for your enjoyment and utilization....

Most of us realize that a budget is the cornerstone of financial well-being. A Bankrate survey from last year found that about two-thirds of Americans have one, which should be good news indeed. And yet we’re evidently not using them very well. Only 40 percent of adults have enough savings to handle an unexpected expense of $1,000 or more, according to Bankrate. As for retirement planning? We’re no better. Investment giant Vanguard just put out a report showing that its median retirement account balance — where half the population is below and half is above — is a measly $22,217....

Number one: Strict parents raise well-behaved children. There’s a popular idea that the only way to raise a good kid is by being a total hard-ass. But that doesn’t encourage kids to develop empathy. Even a former Marine drill instructor understands that making demands of little kids is unproductive. According to Sergeant Chris Lopez, who is a master of discipline in any light, explanation and redirection present the best way forward....

Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Sure, Russell’s Reserve’s Single Barrel is made from the same mash bill and aged right alongside the regular Wild Turkey. But master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell specially select the barrels that emerge baring their family name and with a collection 95 years of experience, this father and son duo knows a thing or two about bourbon. The whiskey that makes the grade spends around eight years in “alligator charred’ American white oak barrels that give it flavors of vanilla, spice, fruit, and toffee....

Self-compassion is the ability to accept that you’re human — and accept all the feelings that come with said humanity, says Billy Roberts, an Ohio-based therapist. California-based therapist Kailey Hockridge adds that along with accepting your feelings, self-compassion allows you to recognize you’re allowed to mess up and you deserve understanding, just like anyone else. That’s not always easy, especially if you’re subject to cultural expectations about what it means to be a cisgender, heterosexual male....

The word “mezcal” is derived from the Aztec word for “cooked agave,” and it’s defined as any agave distilled liquor. In terms of the differences in mezcal vs tequila, tequila is a type of mezcal made in specific regions and always with the specific blue (azul) agave plant. What we refer to as mezcal is made using other types of agave plants, such as Espadín and Tobalá. Tequila and mezcal are also produced differently: tequila is steamed in ovens, then distilled in copper pots, whereas mezcal is typically roasted with charcoal and wood fires in earthen pits lined with lava rocks and then distilled in clay or copper pot stills....

Super Mario Party has been in heavy rotation in Casa Mejia (we got all of the gems!) so we pride ourselves as SMP pros (or rather, I consider myself a pro).

Mario Party Superstars is a new Mario Party game made up of the best of Mario Party’s past, but of course, updated with Switch specs....

It’s Uncharted Territory for Jason Sudeikis “Otis is going to be 17 months on the 20th. He’s great. He just stepped on a bee today. I’ve never been stung by a bee,” Jason Sudeikis told Jimmy Kimmel. “I’m holding him, tears are streaming down his face and I’m like… ‘Little Man, you’re further along than me! I don’t know what to tell you!’” Chris Pratt’s Toddler Is Like His Therapist “He says amazing things, profound things....

He’s got that goofy swagger dads admire, but he seems genuine in his utter over-the-top McConaughey-ness.

While paid leave is often discussed as a way to help new parents heal from giving birth and spend much needed time bonding with their babies, their partner if they have one, and adjusting to the new rhythms of their life, paid leave isn’t just for people who are having babies. Paid leave is called paid family and medical leave for a reason. It lets people take time off if they fall ill but also, and perhaps even more crucially, lets people take paid time off if a loved one falls ill....

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is going to make history. The rare comet, C/2022 E3 (ZTF), was first discovered by scientists less than a year ago using the wide-field survey camera at the Zwicky Transient Facility. In March 2022, the comet was spotted in Jupiter’s orbit. And now it’s headed our way. The comet is at the edge of our solar system, but it will become visible from Earth in a few weeks....

“Emma is such a sweet miracle,” new father Benjamin said. “I think she looks pretty perfect to have been frozen all those years ago.” Tina explained her shock when she found out how long the embryo had been cryopreserved, as it was frozen only a year after Tina was born. “Do you realize I’m only 25? This embryo and I could have been best friends,” Tina said. According to the National Fertility Support Center, the world’s first baby to be born after being frozen as an embryo was in 1984 in Australia....
