Now, in the midst of a pandemic, when stress, burnout, and emotions are redlining and our normal means of decompressing are largely unavailable, they’re even more so.

“You need a flat surface, nothing inclined, a firm mattress, with a tight-fitting sheet,” says pediatrician Dr. Ben Hoffman, the chair of American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention. “If you have a baby in a swing and they enjoy it, they’re going to fall asleep in there from time to time. You need to be there and constantly vigilant.” Being in a swing will generally calm your baby (and give your arms a break) because the rocking motion can trigger natural sleep rhythms in infants....

As any enterprising parent with a tarp and a sprinkler knows, you don’t need a beach, stock tank, or pool built out of a shipping container to keep the kids cool and entertained.

Think about it. With the ever-changing gear they lug around, photographers need a bag that offers a lot of compartments and customization options; when shooting, they need to quickly access the gear they bring (and often with one hand); and, finally, to haul said gear, photographers need a bag that can not only handle the delicate products but also be comfortable to lug around on location. Sounds familiar right? In short, a camera bag offers everything a parent needs to lug around their baby supplies — and they look great, too....

The human taste for crude humor starts very early, which is true of good jokes for kids too. Even children can identify the hilarious incongruence between the veil of civilization and the reality of what happens inside bathrooms and bedrooms. Potty humor is timeless and universal.

Bruichladdich Black Art Truth be told, we have been eyeing a bottle of Bruichladdich Black Arts at our local shop for a few months now.

It’s a staggeringly complex dram, with notes of mission figs and chocolate that give way to coconut and tobacco....

But strange as it may sound, fatherhood is an emerging field of study. Scientists are making up for lost time by finally releasing conclusive data about a father’s effect on his children....
