Navigating sex before baby is fairly easy, but sex during pregnancy and in the postpartum phase is a lot trickier. Women should talk to their doctors about what’s best and safest for them in terms of a sex-after-baby timeline , but when it is safe, then what? Should women just get right into it? What if they’re still recovering but want to feel good, with just themselves or a partner ?...
Face masks have been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It’s a new thing for Americans, having to wear masks pretty much everywhere in public. But it’s important to stay protected . The good news is that we don’t have to wear masks that don’t work for us. From small business owners on Etsy to larger clothing retailers that began making masks, there are now lots of mask options on the market....
When your little ones are still in a stroller, it’s hard to really dress them up for Halloween. Sure, you can buy or make them an adorable costume, but let’s be honest, costumes just don’t have the same effect when kids are in carriages. They can’t show ’em off as well! Unless … the stroller is part of the costume. Maybe you’re a little crafty, or maybe you’re a mom who is excited for her baby’s first Halloween — either way, stroller decorating might just be the thing you’re looking for!...
Laundry isn’t the most fun thing in the world, but needs to be done. Having kids means there’s more laundry, but the kids are likely not old enough to do it themselves. Making sure we have the coziest and most efficient space possible can make doing it suck a little bit less. That’s what we’re hoping for anyway. While there are hacks to actually doing laundry most efficiently and different kinds of products , right now we’re focusing on the actual space where laundry gets done....
When we get married, we take vows for better or for worse, and sometimes, that “for worse” part means dealing with the unpredictable (and sometimes totally inappropriate) behavior of our in-laws . Although many women do have awesome, loving relationships with their mother-in-law , others have nothing but family drama, and some of the stories that come from these situations are pretty horrifying. Somehow, it gets even worse after the babies start arriving — it’s like all common sense goes out the window....
Movies about cheating are great, aren’t they? We get to shake our heads in shock at the secret lovers’ cheating ways, feel superior when they get busted, and still get to enjoy the scenes of forbidden temptation realized. (Sue us, we are complex creatures.) Not surprisingly, there are plenty of films that center around infidelity , and there always have been, because stepping out on a significant other has been happening as long as there have been significant others — whether it’s because married couples have drifted apart (or weren’t compatible to begin with), or whether someone in the relationship has always had a wandering eye and hips that follow....
So what’s on the list? There’s tech, home decor, beauty items, and lots of toys. Yes, we know parents are in back-to-school mode , but it’s never too early to start planning. Last year’s predicted list was hot , featuring items like unicorn games, LOL Pets, and veterinary kits. This year, there are classics and new, culturally relevant ones as well. We’re talking a Baby Shark puppet and Buzz Lightyear gear to the classic Pictionary game (with a twist) and a Paw Patrol jet....

Are you looking for a gem-in-the-rough baby name that’s got “cool” written all over it, but hasn’t been done to death already? Consider these 31 names favored by Millennial moms for starters. Why? Because these baby names are not only super modern, but many of them barely existed before the year 2000 . In recent years however, these names have climbed the charts, thanks to Millennial — and soon, Gen Z parents — who are creative and interested in finding unusual names for their little ones....
Of Late, Kate Middleton has been going through some major health issues and it’s been difficult to watch her once happy face look dimmed.

New parents should not have to worry about keeping their babies alive and warm during those first days and weeks of their newborns’ lives. But heartbreakingly, that’s the situation that is still unfolding in Gaza as the war between Israel and Palestine continues to rage on. In the past week alone, four babies have died of hypothermia as the area experiences freezing temperatures while their families live in tents and fight to survive....
I think the entire country is binge-watching Tiger King right now. And there is something comforting about us all having that (weird) shared connection while we isolate. You might not be able to wear a new outfit out in public for a while, unless you’re working the front lines (in which case, thank you!), but you can plan for the day when we all emerge from social distancing and discover that we have not only binge-watched, we have binge-shopped!...
Babies master a new trick just about every day — and one of the most frustrating is when they figure out how to remove their diaper . They tend to keep removing it, even after you beg and plead with them to keep it on. Talk about a mess! And unless you can figure out why your baby’s so determined to rid himself of this very essential article of clothing and reverse this trend, it means you’re on carpet cleaning duty 24/7....
Tattoos can be incredibly meaningful , serving a permanent reminder of something powerful in life or an experience that cannot and should not be forgotten. Many times, tattoos can give people a feeling of deep empowerment, a design that inspires and reminds them of something they have overcome. We were very inspired by this gorgeous collection of tattoos, each with a powerful visual that shows strength and beauty. Sometimes the meaning behind tattoos are very obvious — we can see the triumph not only in design but the feeling it evokes....
