I try not to judge anyone’s parenting, but when it comes to celebrities, I often find myself torn. I will admit that I can’t help but judge—just a tiny bit. (My meditation teacher would be so proud of my self-awareness and keen self-observation.) But please, do not judge me for judging. Here’s why. I learn about these people’s
When we first bought our starter home, the landscaping was what my husband and I referred to as the ‘childfree entertainer’s dream’. The backyard was comprised of a fully decked-out outdoor kitchen all set to service a well-shaded and tastefully constructed patio, complete with electrical fixtures and a dedicated router for a TV and streaming.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mother or a working mother, I’m sure we all feel that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything. I have come to the forced realization that I am utterly burnt out. After speaking to my therapist, I came to the understanding that on top of my responsibilities and

Pest control has always been a dirty business - you can’t efficiently destroy thousands of tiny critters at once without using some pretty powerful poisons. Things changed dramatically with the advent of the industrial revolution, however, as we transitioned from more natural methods of pest eradication to mass production of industrial-grade pesticides. This method had its
“Cookies! Cookies!” My baby girl couldn’t stop talking about cookies the other week. I figured she really wanted me to bake her some. Who could blame her? Everyone loves cookies. Do you know what nobody loves? Pests. So imagine my horror when my baby crawled over to a corner and tried to pick up what she thought was COOKIE
Hello and Merry Christmas, everyone! I can’t believe it has already come and gone - the years just seem to be getting shorter all the time. We had an extremely successful Christmas this year, as my boys can attest to! We went caroling, saw the boat parade, explored some of the better decorated neighborhoods, and each

The plan is for Meta to build a “metaverse”: a virtual reality where people can have experiences and interactions through the internet without being in any one particular physical location.
