Being a parent is no easy gig, but there’s no denying there are few perks along the way. One of the better ones is that, once your kids are old enough to understand sarcasm and smart-assery, there’s nothing preventing you from pulling out all of the stops. If that sounds like something you’ll definitely be...

There’s nothing better than snuggling up with a warm drink and a plush blanket in the thick of winter – bonus points if you just climbed out of a warm bath and/or complete the picture with a nice, roaring fire. After all, even those of us who enjoy looking out over a cold dusting of...

Sure, the adult world is pretty much a sh*tshow this year, but hey – there’s always children’s books to lift our spirits at the end of the day. If you’ve got young kids at home (or kids to buy for), these 6 books should be on your must-buy list this holiday season. #6. Florette by...

The way they sneeze. How they hog the covers. The fact that they leave their towels hanging on the closet doors so they can use them again. There are probably a hundred million examples of things that people do that seem really cute while you’re dating, but then once you’re married or living together and...

Everyone draws a line in the sand between themselves and certain behaviors. We say “I would never in a million years do xyz…”. But sometimes life gets in the way, things change, or circumstances demand we cross over to the other side of “never.” It can be hard to admit when you’ve gone to your...

There’s nothing worse than seeing a little 1% in the battery bar of your cell phone – at least not for me. It sends me racing for the charger, because heaven forbid my phone dies and then I have to wait like, two or three whole minutes for it to boot back up. Some people...

I don’t know about you, but I adore food. Which means that I get super excited to eat food – especially food I don’t have to cook – and when that food doesn’t turn out as expected (or is just bad), it’s a massive disappointment. I’m not sure I could have handed any of these...

Traveling is the best! Okay, maybe not the actual process of getting somewhere new, but being there and experiencing it is almost always all sorts of awesome. And just in case you’re making a bucket list or planning a trip (jealous!) here are 15 spots seasoned travelers say you can’t miss. #15. Impossible to imagine....

It’s always terrible to lose someone you love, no matter whether you’re prepared for the event or not. But learning something unexpected after they pass can add a whole other level to unpack before you’re able to move on. #15. Monster. “My great aunt died about a year ago. She was in her mid 70s....

They say that the fear of public speaking is rampant in our society – so much so that it ranks above a fear of dying – so it makes sense that most people have anxiety when it comes to writing, preparing, and delivering a speech to a roomful of people (no matter how big). I...

Despite the fact that the producers and writers seem intent on breaking as many hearts as possible on their way to the big finale, the fans are as faithful as ever. Although...

I suppose sad could mean different things to different people. I, for example, can’t watch a movie where an animal dies any kind of horrible death (www.doesthedogdie.com is a lifesaver, people). But there are some kinds of scenes, non-animal related, that are just sad. Luckily, these 15 film and television buffs are here to give you...
