When it comes to throwback Britney Spears Halloween costumes, the ‘Baby One More Time’ schoolgirl look has been done. And done. And done.

‘PJ Masks’-Inspired Costume Ideas for the Whole Fam
Somewhere around the third birthday, you lose control over Halloween costumes. Sticking to a theme can be fun…and tricky. Your kid’s got strong opinions on what they want to be, and if you want to coordinate, your options are limited. Bluey’s family is a solid choice, and for the five-and-under set, so are the PJ…

The ‘Hocus Pocus’-Inspired Book Cake Even Toast-Burners Can Make
Years ago, I made Hocus Pocus-inspired s’mores pops, and they were an unexpected hit. (To this day, I see people recreate them, and it makes me unspeakably happy.) But then I had a child, and my baking days are often late at night, or squeezed within whatever spare 15 minutes I have, when I’m half-exhausted…

‘Don’t Worry Darling’-Inspired Costume Ideas
We’re kicking off Halloween 13, the 2022 edition, with one of this fall’s most buzzed-about movies: Don’t Worry Darling.

Fail Trying: The Most Powerful Takeaway from Bob Goff’s ‘Dream Big’
Bob Goff is one of those people you can’t believe actually exists. He’s a lawyer who serves as the honorary consul to the Republic of Uganda, who donates the proceeds of his books to bettering others’ lives—and is so willing to lend a hand he prints his actual cell phone number in those books. (Which…

Sunbutter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Sunbutter + chocolate chips + oatmeal? I get it. It’s so many things, but each of these ingredients—lends something special to these cookies, making them so extraordinary they’ve become my new go-to baking project.

Why You Can’t Get Taylor Swift’s Music Out of Your Head (Even If You Haven’t Heard It Yet)
Years after being ‘canceled’ following her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift has experienced a revival: Phase one was Lover, revealing a renewal of optimism for the singer-songwriter. Phase two was Folklore/Evermore, the two-album, folksy drop that felt right in line with our need for pandemic escapism. And, on the heels of…

Welp, I Didn’t Expect ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ to Be a Religious Experience
Sure, sure, Thor is a god, but I didn’t anticipate having a religious experience while watching the latest Marvel movie. Thor: Love and Thunder is every bit the ridiculous, deliberately over-the-top, ’80s-rocker-glam-inspired action movie, and if you’ve seen a single trailer—or Thor: Ragnarok—that’s exactly what you expect. And it’s in that sense of comfort, in…
