How Did We Get Here? “It’s so easy to fall into food ruts,” says Marissa Lippert, a New York-based chef, nutritionist, and founder of AM//PM. “Particularly for working parents who are also trying to homeschool, lunchtime can be such a nemesis. If you’re exhausted or bored with food, you often end up reaching for the same thing out of convenience because you’re too tired to make yet another decision that day....

When I was invited to Disney Social Media Moms Conference back in May, I knew I had to make my own DIY Matching Disney shirts for my family, because well it’s Walt Disney World. And well, I love matching shirts. And making shirts is one of my favorite things to make with Cricut Explore Air. I actually made three different sets of matching shirts, so that we had something to wear every day of the conference....

Whatever scientific—or maybe pseudoscientific—hearsay has been circulating, I know I’m not the only one who’s heard it. But is it true, or just a nice idea? And if it is a myth, is there something else we should all be wearing to prevent melting on the side of the road? To find out if white garments are truly the answer to warding off heat, I did the only reasonable thing I could think of: ask a physicist....

I’m kind of a popsicle addict if you hadn’t noticed already by my funfetti popsicles or these blue lemonade popsicles. There’s just something about enjoying a freezing cold popsicle on a hot summer day that is like the epitome of refreshing. Forget a glass of water or even a citrus mocktail, I’ll take a popsicle any day. I’ve passed my love of popsicles onto my son, which so far hasn’t been a good thing because all he wants are those sugar and artificial ones that come in bright colors and have jokes on the sticks....

When I started my blog and wrote my little about me section on my home page, I knew I wanted to include just a few of my favorite things in the description. Chocolate covered cinnamon bears (used to love them, not as much now), my Sanuk shoes (the best travel shoes ever!), and Dr Pepper. I’ve seen other cakes that use soda in them so thought, why not try it with Dr Pepper?...

Is there anything better on a hot day than a glass of ice cold homemade lemonade? Store-bought lemonade is fine but homemade is way better, especially when that homemade lemonade has the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I’ve shared lots of other lemonade recipes already from strawberry lemonade to blueberry lemonade and even the TikTok viral creamy lemonade recipe. But today it’s all about a traditional homemade lemonade with just three ingredients – lemons, water, and sugar....

I don’t know if you’ve seen all the ice cream bread being made on TikTok but there’s a reason this is a TikTok viral recipe – it’s a super versatile recipe and a super yummy sweet treat! This particular funfetti ice cream bread combines just regular vanilla ice cream (although you could substitute with something else), self-rising flour, and sprinkles for a great bread for parties, birthdays, and more! Plus that icing on top is amazing!...

In order to feel good about how I look, I’ve long since needed to wash my hair on a near-daily basis—but that’s all changed after only three weeks of using this scalp exfoliator. Thanks to my current work-from-home status, I’ve been able to give my head a break and wash my hair less often. This has helped a bit with how tender-headed I am, but the over-production of oil hasn’t stopped, and I’ve been using a ton of dry shampoo (and spending a lot of money on it) to feel presentable during everything from Zoom meetings to going grocery shopping....

A Make-Ahead Menu Calderone’s first words of advice when it comes to planning a summer menu: “Keep it simple!” Stick with fresh, in-season ingredients and side dishes that can be prepped ahead. “Chop ingredients and make dressings or finishing sauces in advance,” she recommends. To keep the party outdoors and avoid turning on the oven, a grilled main course is the answer. “Hands down, my favorite summer grilling hack is to lay a seasonal white fish on a bed of lemons....
