If you’re a new mom, you know that the first few weeks can give you cabin fever. But even if you’re a sleep-deprived mom, you should be careful when taking your baby outside. A University of Alabama at Birmingham study found that your risk of getting hit or injured by a car rises by 6…
Sometimes, words fail to describe the insanity that it is parenting. Your kid does a deep dive into their diaper and smears poop on the wall. They drink out of the dog’s water bowl or draw all over their baby sibling (and with Sharpie, to boot). When you can’t even comprehend the craziness, (let alone…
They’re full of ideas—and they’re pretty opinionated, too. But to get your child to express themselves through writing somehow becomes an excruciating experience. Unlike other subjects that they might learn in school that they might not put into practice as an adult (we’re looking at you, trigonometry), writing is a skill that they’ll use throughout…

It’s not exactly what you’d call a kid-friendly flavor, and despite its winning qualities (it’s rich in potassium, fiber, and antioxidants), that’s not always going to be enough for your child to suddenly grab a stalk and start chomping. If you have…
Your due date is drawing near, and you’ve started to imagine what life will be like with a newborn at home. Sure, you’ve already surrendered to the fact that you’re probably not going to get much (if any) sleep, your lady parts are going to be sore for a while, and breastfeeding might have a…

Of course, you gab with your girlfriend about the situation, but it still feels like that tension is festering inside you. That’s when you should put pen to paper (or fingertips to keyboard) and start journaling your feelings.…

The National Museum of Mathematics (or MoMath as it’s commonly known) is an award-winning museum located in the Flatiron district of New York City. Featuring galleries, exciting exhibits, and programs, there is so much to do…
As any parent knows, keeping track of your kids’ belongings is a full-time job. Between the school uniforms, lunchboxes, water bottles, and jackets, it’s easy for things to disappear—often never to be seen again. Enter Julie Cole, the co-founder of Mabel’s Labels, a company that has turned the seemingly impossible task of keeping track of…
Growing up, I would often hear the name The Amazing Kreskin on TV. He was a frequent guest on top-rated shows like The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Although he has had an incomparable career for seven decades, Kreskin was, to me, always a celebrity of my parents’ generation. I would hear my dad talking…
Years ago, a friend of mine said to me, “Give me a problem and I’ll give you a solution.” I love this sentiment, probably because it so deeply resonates with me. Ever since I was little, I’ve been able to handle almost anything on my own and this attitude has carried me well into…
