Dozens of infants and children die in hot cars each year in the United States. Tragically, the majority of incidents happen when caregivers unknowingly forget a child in the back of a vehicle as opposed to purposefully leaving them there unsupervised. Such accidents typically happen amid a change of schedule or routine. Many believe they already have dropped off their little ones with a care giver, only to discover their fatal mistake hours later....

Traveling several hundred miles away, he hid amongst the landing gear. But as exciting as his trip sounds, it could have been extremely dangerous....

It doesn’t take too long after having a daughter before parents start to hear all the stupid stereotypes some people have about not being a boy mom. Girls are dramatic. Girls are expensive. Girls are high maintenance. Can we just call BS on that? Because here is the thing: Having daughters is actually super freaking awesome! Although we should love all of our kids, regardless of gender expression, there’s also no doubt that some moms find a lot of joy in their relationship with their daughter....

Try not to be too scandalized when we tell you this little secret: Cleaning our children’s pee sprinkles off the toliet seat for the one millionth time doesn’t actually fill us with joy. We also don’t find deep life fulfillment in dusting bookshelves, cleaning blinds, wiping up crumbs, or removing toothpaste spots from the mirror....

Even though the Duggar family seemed to be a pretty peaceful bunch when they were still on Counting On , like any other family, they have drama, something we’ve become all too aware of in the wake of the documentary Shiny, Happy People that came out in 2023.

The Ouija has been around since at least 1891 when, according to Smithsonian.com, it was first advertised in newspapers by a Pittsburgh toy and novelty shop. The “wonderful talking board” was said to answer questions “about the past, present and future with marvelous accuracy” and promised “never-failing amusement and recreation for all the classes,” a link “between the known and unknown, the material and immaterial.” During that time in American history, people were especially intrigued by spiritualism, or the belief that the living could communicate with those who’ve passed away....

Valentine’s Day is such a mixed bag as far as holidays go. Some couples get SUPER into it and splash out big bucks on roses, candy, jewelry, and dinners. Some couples totally don’t care about it and happily skip making a fuss.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month . As more kitschy holidays pop up every so often on the calendar, it can be easy to brush awareness months like this to the side.

Sadly, " 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime"....

Children have always been easily influenced. As they reach pre-teen and teenage years , they care more and more about the opinions of their peers than their families. These young people occasionally do outlandish and foolish things to get the attention and approval of their classmates. These days, social media has heightened both the outrageous stunts kids pull, as well as the number of eyes they can attract. One New Jersey student is now facing criminal charges after participating in the Chromebook Challenge....

Disney is one of those things, or places — or cultures — that people aren’t about or are really, really, really about. Disney is a childhood rite of passage for many. Lots of folks take their children to experience the magic, and it makes for great surprise videos that go viral. But Disney isn’t just for kids. Despite some folks, or rather this mom who rants about childless people (millennials) at Disney, Disney isn’t just for families....
