We hope you have a lot of time on your hands because your favorite streaming devices are not only going all-out for the holidays, but they’re loading up on classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Amistad and Goldfinger, and even new ones like Wonder Woman 1984, The Secret Garden and 40 Years a Prisoner.

We can all use a healthy dose of holiday spirit this year. 2020 is one for the books and celebrities are proving to be just like us as they find ways to deck their halls (and trees) with holiday cheer. Pre-covid, families might have been hesitant to put up decor before Thanksgiving, but that’s not

I’ve never been a fan of turkey on Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong; it’s delicious, when prepared correctly, but it always makes me feel so sluggish after I devour it. I fall into a food coma and slouch down in my seat as I convince myself I have room for dessert. This year I’m focusing

Kid TV shows and movies are loaded with helpful characters who teach children about life and how to positively navigate the world around them. One of the more thoughtful new kids’ movies is Stillwater, a film debuting on AppleTV+ in December that helps children understand their feelings, ultimately giving them the tools to face their

There are some meals you don’t have to mull over too much. Even if you haven’t made them before, the ingredients are just so good that even if you mess up, it still ends up being delicious. Sounds familiar? We’ve had our fair share of new tasty dishes, but Thanksgiving isn’t the time for experimentation.

Winter is coming and my skin is feeling it. It seems like everyone I know has a solid skin care routine for their face, but they tend to forget about their body. Yet, every single season change, I end up slathering on lotion after showers in a quest to quench my dry winter skin—and sometimes

With so many sippy cups to choose from, how are you supposed to know which one to try first? Just like with bottles and pacifiers, it may take some trial and error to find the right fit for your child. Because, you know, kids don’t come with a manual unfortunately, and what may have worked

Thanksgiving is around the corner and the holiday season will be in full swing before you know it. I’ve come to realize there are two types of holiday decorators: ones who go all out it before Thanksgiving and others who put up a tree and hang a few lights here and there around the living

Trader Joe’s is no stranger to good food. You can buy everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to plantain chips, pancake bread, cauliflower gnocchi and everything in between. We are true fans. So much so, we rounded up favorites from our team as you anxiously await the biggest cooking day of the year. We also

Thanksgiving is next week and if you’re anything like us, you’ll probably eat way more than usual. What’s more? With gyms slowly closing all over the country, finding a place to workout these days is super tough. The biggest factor is staying motived to actually workout and we’re thankful we can turn to TikTok for

It is often said there’s no greater joy than being a mom. Bringing new life into the world is an amazing thing and nothing compares to the experience of raising a child. As is often the case in life, however, the most satisfying experiences can also be some of the most hard-won. Having a child

Winter holidays are right around the corner, and with them comes the opportunity to share books with our kids about why we celebrate. Books also help mamas get into the holiday spirit and quietly reconnect with our kids. The team of teachers and librarians at Best Kids’ Books selected books about different holidays celebrated by

This week the CDC suggested Americans who are hosting Thanksgiving dinners have their meals outside to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. But more than celebrating holidays outside, mamas are looking for cool ways to enjoy their backyards beyond the seasonal festivities. “At a time when our homes are the epicenter of our lives,

Taking an awesome family holiday photo—especially on your phone—is not as easy as most of us would think. In theory, pointing and shooting sounds nice, but how do you keep your little one smiling, and full of life after the 15th picture? And, perhaps more importantly, what do you do when squeaky toys are no

Thanksgiving is looking different for a lot of us this year. Many of us aren’t traveling to see loved ones for the holiday, and the traditional Thanksgiving meal—with multiple families crowded together around a table—is actually classified as a high-risk activity by the CDC. (Thanks, 2020.) This year has thrown a lot of changes and

With fall in full swing, most parents are fresh out of boxes to check on their “Fun Concierge” hit list. It’s also the point of diminishing returns on investing in outside-only toys. So with that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite toys that are not only built to last but will easily

In this pandemic holiday season, we’re missing our friends, family and “framily” (friends who feel like family). We can’t get together in person, even for a simple family dinner, with those who matter so much to us. But as the loneliness of social distancing and the anxiety of the crisis set in, getting together can

From social distancing to travel restrictions, there’s a general uncertainty around what this holiday season will bring for families balancing school, work and festivities. There’s no doubt that kids understand a bit of what is going on, but it may be a little harder to grasp that some of their favorite holiday traditions and family
