Christmas Movie Games One of my favorite things about Christmas is the Christmas movie season. Whether you watch the 25 days of Christmas on Freeform or watch the original movies on the Hallmark Channel or just watch all of the classics – for some reason Christmas means movies. I’ve shared tons of Christmas movie games in the past but this emoji one is still one of my favorites! With my Christmas movie bingo game being so popular, I thought it’d be fun to make another Christmas movie themed game....

As a boy mom, there are a handful of things that are constant in our lives. Dinosaurs, superheroes, cars, reptiles, and robots. Our house is filled with robots of every shape and kind – coding robots, battling robots, and even stuffed robots. I’ve already done car valentines, dinosaur valentines, and even Baby Yoda valentines, so I thought it would be fun to do a cute robot Valentine’s Day card that the boys can give out to their classes this year....

In recent years leading up to 2020, Wagner says people were more Team Lizzo (and her unapologetic self-confidence) than Team Victoria’s Secret, with unrealistic beauty standards. Looking ahead, natural, yet bold, is the theme of the next 10 years. Here, expert stylists predict trends for the coming decade.

Other times, you’ll find yourselves fighting over things like chores, the kids, the in-laws, and other normal life things. The conversations may become heated or passionate, but as long as they stay respectful, these can be meaningful moments and good for the relationship because they teach you valuable communication skills....

All you need for these fun kids birthday party games is some candy, ice cream cones, balloons, and players who are enthusiastic and ready to play! Hilarious Birthday Party Games A couple of weeks ago my sister and brother-in-law came down to Texas for a couple of days to celebrate our birthdays that are just days apart. My sister is just as fun-loving as I am and pretty much always up for anything, so I decided it’d be fun to put together a couple of birthday party games (could also use these for housewarming party) to play as a family....

You’ll make a quick butter-spiked honey sauce with a generous dose of salt to balance the sweetness and add sophistication. Choose your favorite nut to stir in, or go for a mix of a few. Pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds would taste great, too. Serve the popcorn as an afternoon treat with tea, or pair it with a bitter cocktail to play off the sugary honey.

Unfortunately for flapjack lovers everywhere, these terms vary by restaurant, so you’ll have to ask the wait staff before you place your order. At IHOP, the popular pancake chain that offers away a free short stack of pancakes on their National Pancake Day every year, a short stack is always a serving of three fluffy pancakes, while a full stack is five. The beauty of making pancakes at home is that there is no need to cap your stacks—you can keep serving up hot cakes until you’re completely full....

Why? CBD is compelling to consumers largely because it comes with a laundry list of promising purported health benefits—from reduced anxiety to help with nausea, inflammation, and insomnia. We’re still waiting for clearance from the FDA (and more robust research on the proven perks of the ingredient), but in the meantime, many consumers are eager to test out the positive potential of CBD. If you’re one of these folks wondering whether it’s time to jump on the CBD bandwagon, you’re not alone....

I’ve tried everything from skipping dairy to red light therapy in my quest to achieve clear skin. Not everything has worked, and there certainly hasn’t been one life-changing product. But like the cocktail of factors that lead to acne, a combination of tactics is necessary to fight it. By practicing good habits and taking the right precautions, I’m at least able to reduce the severity and duration of my breakouts and enjoy a few good skin days here and there....

Learning how to budget doesn’t have to mean using the envelope method or spending lists your parents may have used. There’s a budgeting system out there for everyone (even if you don’t refer to it as a budget), and whether you’re expecting to retire soon, mapping out your financial future as a young professional, or figuring out the best way to manage after a job or income loss, learning how to make a budget you can stick to now can and will pay off (literally) later....

Know what type of fabric you’re dealing with. Read the tag on your couch to determine whether or not you can use water, if it’s vacuum-only, or if only a dry cleaning solvent can be used. “Sometimes, even using water on the wrong fabric can leave a stain,” warns Johnson. You may think your couch is microfiber—a plush, manmade material crafted from polyester and nylon—but it’s a good idea to confirm before you start cleaning....
