Lots of kids love to draw, color, and be creative . Art is nothing if not subjective, and there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Of course, some people’s artistic abilities may be more fine-tuned than others, but that doesn’t mean everyone can’t enjoy creating things. When it comes to kids and art, anything goes, and if they’re having fun, who cares ? A Michigan mom sure didn’t and was positively appalled when she got a call from her 11-year-old daughter’s school about some inappropriate artwork she’d created in the classroom....

A family from Texas is grieving the loss of their twin sons. Although the couple knew early on that their babies had severe, fatal, congenital birth defects , the mother could not terminate the pregnancy. Since the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, aborting a baby with a heartbeat is illegal in Texas, regardless of the circumstances. Even though an abortion can be performed if it is life-threatening to the woman, she does not have a choice as to whether she may terminate her pregnancy for any other reason....

A government shutdown might not mean that construction on the White House East Wing is halted, but it could mean a pause in food assistance benefits for people across the United States in November 2025. So one mom came up with her “simple idea” on TikTok to hand out shelf-stable and non-perishable foods that kids would like on Halloween instead of candy. Things like packets of ramen noodles or individual microwavable macaroni and cheese cups could make a world of difference for families who might struggle because of a potential pause in their benefits in their states....

On February 14, 2025, police made a horrific discovery at a Pontiac, Michigan, home. Deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office performed a welfare check at a home in the 600 block of Lydia Lane at the landlord’s request. Inside, they found a 15-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl, and a 12-year-old girl living in squalor . Their mother, Kelli Bryant, had allegedly abandoned them years earlier and didn’t look back....

Recently, a mom based in London went viral for her blunt message to women about having kids in their 40s . And 49-year-old Sheena Amin didn’t mince words with her bold PSA. “I’m gonna say it again: Don’t have kids after 40,” Amin declared in a TikTok video posted on July 4, 2025. She then used her experience on WhatsApp as the perfect example. “Let’s say you are 40, you have a kid....

Every mom who bedshares thinks they’re doing the right thing for their baby. They’ve been told co-sleeping is natural. They’ve been assured by relatives, friends, and strangers on Facebook that they’ve all done it with their babies, and their babies are fine. They’ve been told about the Safe Sleep 7 — that it’s safe to bedshare as long as mom breastfeeds, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t take drowsiness-inducing medication and isn’t under the influence, isn’t overweight, uses light blankets and minimal pillows, has a firm mattress, isn’t overtired, and the list goes on …...

After every holiday dinner or vacation, I would witness my mom head to the gym and pool where she would run, lift, and swim off every single calorie that she consumed. Sometimes she’d go before to make room for the feast. So yes, she was an “almond mom.” Did it contribute to my past eating disorder ? Yes. But after years of recovery, I’ve learned to not blame her. It’s not my responsibility to fix her beliefs that are consumed by diet culture and fatphobia....

We’ve seen it before. Children from a previous relationship come into a new family, and the existing family doesn’t always accept them. Sometimes they don’t feel they are a real niece, nephew, or grandchild . It’s hurtful to the children and the adults who don’t understand why their family members are being so cruel to innocent kids. A woman posted in Reddit’s AITA forum to air some dirty laundry about her family....

When someone close to us suffers from a pregnancy loss , we want to do our best to support them. Everyone grieves differently, so respecting them and their process is important. For a lot of women, being around other pregnant women after a miscarriage is hard, and they like to avoid those situations for a while. It is totally natural and understandable. But what do you do if someone really close wants you to help them deal with their miscarriage and you are actually newly pregnant yourself and haven’t told anyone yet?...

Things can get tricky when parents rely on family members to babysit their kids. Should you offer to pay them ? Or should it be a given that childcare is free because they’re family? Either way, the topic of payment should probably be addressed before the babysitting happens. Case in point: A TikTok mom named Jessica Pares was shocked when her sister sent an itemized invoice after watching her daughter....

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Josh Duggar (serving out a decade-long prison sentence will do that) but now, we’re getting an update from someone on the inside. A new photo of Josh in prison has emerged, and if he looks different to you, that’s probably because it seems he was forced to clean up his appearance by his fellow inmates. A photo of Josh taken in September 2022 has surfaced....

If your kids are still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters (and honestly, same), they might already be begging you for KPop Demon Hunter Halloween costumes . There are a lot of options to choose from, but not every KPop Demon Hunters costume is built the same. For instance, some have delayed or expensive shipping, or don’t have enough reviews to be trustworthy just yet. We did some digging to find some costume options that will arrive in time before Halloween (especially if you have a Prime membership and have some reviews or enough purchases to recommend....

In his talk on-stage, against a backdrop of the American flag, Hegseth spoke about the changes he wants to see from soldiers whether they are in the field or at a desk. And, according to Fox News , Hegseth said that male and female soldiers will be required to fall in line with the highest male standards for training in order to remain in the service. What does that mean for women?...

Every year, it’s the same. You spend hours, days maybe, locating all the ornaments and lights. Then you spend hours putting them all up. Then it’s time to take them all down again. Storing the ornaments in a moving box wrapped with packing paper seemed like such an economical choice when you did it. But opening five boxes of off-season clothes before finding those ornaments again was more of an archaeological dig than you intended....

In a perfect world, Prince Harry’s Spotify podcast would’ve involved combining two of the prince’s most oft-covered topics: childhood trauma and mental health. Multiple news outlets are reporting a bit of the behind-the-scenes conversations between Harry and executives, and it sounds like nobody was a fan of his ideas … and now, it’s easy to see why. Harry had some big plans that involved talking to many high-profile people. According to the Daily Mail , Harry wanted to dig deep into some of the things that happened in the childhoods of notable personalities such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Mark Zuckerberg ....

On March 18, 1991, Princess Diana was part of a group that buried a time capsule at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, and now, that time capsule has officially been uncovered. Archivists have opened up the capsule and shared what was inside, and it’s a total trip back in time, giving us all the ’90s vibes. Diana even left a little piece of herself (and her kids Prince Harry and Prince William ) in the capsule, too....

Most people who meet Meghan Markle have nothing but positive things to say about her, but it sounds like Rebel Wilson may not be adding herself to that list. According to her, Meghan wasn’t “as naturally warm” as she expected her to be when they had the chance to meet. Rebel opened up about her encounter with Meghan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch What Happens Live!...

What to Know For years, Kate Middleton and Prince William ‘s youngest child, 7-year-old Prince Louis , has been known for being the most mischievous of the royal children. But is that the truth, or is that just what the British media wants us to believe? After the latest reports about Louis and his behavior, royal watchers are questioning if he’s being pushed into being the bad sibling among Prince George and Princess Charlotte, even at his young age, and it’s already drawing comparisons to the way his uncle Prince Harry was treated as William’s younger brother....

On Friday, news broke that Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles — a move that has been a long time coming, considering his ties to the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal. This means that he’s no longer the Duke of York, and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson , will lose her title, too. But despite everything the former couple has been through, royal insiders are claiming that she’s planning to “stand by” him during this difficult (and very public) ordeal....
