My twins love hugs, which is great, because their mother is a touchy-feely, in-your-face Jewess with no sense of personal boundaries. From the day my son and daughter were born, I was all up in their grill, and now that they are 6, I still hug and kiss them on the regular. For me, our

The incredibly famous couple tricked us all into thinking they had unveiled never-before-seen pictures of their twins, Rumi and Sir, on the first night of their joint “On the Run II Tour.” But even after that sneaky trickster move, they are

It’s common knowledge that it’s Oprah Winfrey’s world, and we’re just living in it. In fact, even Mindy Kaling’s 6-month-old daughter, Katherine, knows Winfrey’s home is sacred ground.

Of course, it’s not like you didn’t want to get your dad or partner something great; it’s just that you’ve been suuuuper-busy, right? And anyway, we’re pretty sure it’s safe to say dads (and dudes in general) are notoriously hard to

Oh, Audrey Roloff, you really stepped in it this time.

The two new clips

I’m pretty sure I love my body as much as the next person, which means that some days, I am deeply ashamed by it; some days I detest it; most days I’m too busy to think about it; and once in a while, I totally love it. I used to be one of those people

Kanye West tweeted a sweet video on Saturday of his daughter, North, 4-1/2, in a car crooning his new song “No Mistakes.” “Make no mistake, I still love you,” North sings while clutching a box of Yoo-Hoo chocolate drink (because it’s not chocolate milk, don’t forget).

Asthma and respiratory viruses don’t go well together. Weakened by the common cold or the flu, a person suffering an asthma attack often responds poorly to emergency treatment; some must be hospitalized. This is especially true for preschoolers. But what if there were a simple solution to help ward off the double whammy of an

It was a sunny June morning in New York, and I was in line at Starbucks. It was, in my mind, not a special day at all — let alone a holiday. As I stepped up to place my order, the barista smiled at me. “Happy Father’s Day,” he said. “What are you up to
