The Incredibles 3
Franchises have become major pillars of the movie industry in the last decade, from bringing back iconic stories that were blockbusters in the ‘90s (looking at you, Toy Story) to building out entire cinematic universes (oh hi, Marvel). But Disney might be the king at this kind of story-building, and it’s why everyone is losing their minds over the D23 announcement that The Incredibles 3 is a go.
At Long Last, A Villains Land Is In The Works At Magic Kingdom
Ursula the sea witch, the evil queen with her poison apple, Scar and his band of hyenas — some of Disney’s most iconic characters (with the catchiest musical numbers) are the bad guys. And if you’ve always had a soft spot for the dark side, you’re going to love this announcement made at Disney’s D23 convention over the weekend: a dedicated Villains Land is coming to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

I Worried About Everything As A Kid & It's Made Me A Better Mom
At the beginning of my oldest’s 3rd grade year, she had a panic attack. It was textbook — she felt like she couldn’t breathe, she swore up and down she was dying, she was convinced her heart wasn’t beating. I took her to the pediatrician, who...

What Time Does Halloween Horror Nights Start & End?
Can we take a minute to appreciate the fact that the best time of year is nearly here? Rejoice, my fellow fall stans — ‘tis almost our season. And with fall comes all of the spooky adventures and excursions we’ve been counting down to for the last three seasons, including Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights 2024.

Seriously... what time does Halloween Horror Nights start? And end?
CDC Finally Says IUD Insertion Pain Needs To Be Addressed & Yes, Duh
It’s always good to be prepared and no one knows this better than moms — it’s why our purses are always loaded up like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag just in case someone needs hand sanitizer or a snack or a hair tie. But for those of us who don’t want to be moms (or don’t want to become a mom again) and opt for long-acting, reversible birth control like an intrauterine device (IUD), we’re not prepared for the pain that often accompanies the procedure because, well, it turns out doctors have been underestimating how much it hurts. By a lot.
This Teacher Admits That He Hates The Classic Children's Book 'The Rainbow Fish'
During my baby shower, someone bought me a copy of The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. I remember this book, which for many millennials is a well-known classic, as a child and loved the story. I loved the way the fish’s sparkles glimmered off the page, noting a story about collaboration, friendship, and sharing.
The Ultimate Tween Bedroom Shopping List
There are few things I loved more as a kid than my bedroom. I was incredibly lucky to have a safe home with family that deeply loved me, but my bedroom was my space. I was allowed to decorate it how I wanted, rearrange it whenever my heart desired, and keep it full of all my favorite things. It makes me sad to see so many Instagram and TikTok influencers showing off their own tween’s bedrooms that look like they came straight out of a beige catalog. What happened to posters taped on the wall and bookshelves cluttered with their little treasures? If you want to help your tween have the room of their dreams, I’ve got the perfect tween bedroom shopping list for you. These are inspiring ideas that are budget-friendly, focus on the things tweens really want and need in their room, and, most importantly, actually belong in a tween’s bedroom.
14 School Morning Breakfast Recipes You Can Make In Minutes Or Ahead Of Time
Let’s be real: No mom is waking up on a weekday morning hours before her kids to make them homemade breakfasts each day. Chances are you’re already up before the sun to get yourself and your kids out the door and into school and work on time (or at least not that late). So, having some go-to school morning breakfast ideas — ones you can make ahead and reheat or that only take a few minutes to prepare — is everything. And often, your kids’ breakfast needs to be portable enough to eat in the car. These recipes cover all your bases, and most of them can be made ahead so that you don’t have to cook first thing in the morning.

This week in the Scary Mommy Confessional, parents are sounding off about both topics. So if you’re struggling to keep kids busy all day in the heat, regretting that trip to see your in-laws, or dreading the homework, viruses, and morning routine struggles that come with a new school year, well, you’ll find your people here. Of course, there are confessions on other topics, too — like secret crushes, messy houses, general exhaustion, and more. Read on for the full roundup.
Let’s Stop Being So Scared Of Tween & Teen Girls
When I found out my first child would be a daughter, I was ecstatic. I couldn’t wait to dress her up in the adorable mommy-and-me outfits. I dreamed about bedtime and sharing my favorite book series with her. I hoped for a relationship a la Gilmore Girls, except without all the unhealthy parentification mess. We’d be mother and daughter, but she’d know my heart and my door were always open. But as quickly as the excitement filled my heart, I started getting the unsolicited comments about how hard it is to have girls. I wasn’t surprised, of course. Even back when I was a teenage girl, plenty of women in my life preached about raising girls as a cautionary tale: Just wait until you have a daughter just like you, then you’ll know what we’re talking about.
I'm A 36-Year-Old Mom Of 3 & I Finally Made My *Own* Bedtime Routine
I hate how the term “self-care” has become synonymous with hotel sleepovers, weekend getaways, and spa afternoons. Few things overwhelm me more than the idea that, as a full-time working mom of three kids, I also need to figure out some “self-care” time. Until I realized that “self-care” really isn’t that complicated — caring for yourself is the actual definition, and for me, that doesn’t mean manicures or solo dinners in restaurants. It means finally making my own bedtime routine.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been glued to all the wholesome Olympics content coming out for the past two weeks. You also, at some point in your life, probably have had your kids beg for a pet in exchange for completing some household chore (no, you can’t get a bunny for keeping your room clean all summer vacation).
No Cart Costco Shopping Is The Hack That Could Save Us All
There are few beacons of suburbia that shine quite as brightly as Costco. With free samples and delicious treats as far as the eye can see, Costco Wholesale is a mecca of middle class grocery shoppers and with good reason. By buying in bulk, you can save on many staple products, like diapers, formula, PopTarts in a box the size of your torso.

As a mom of three, I don’t wing back-to-school season; I've learned the importance of strategy and organization. Smooth back-to-school routines ensure my kids feel prepared and supported, and they keep me from the frustration of overwhelm. With three different schedules to juggle, I've become a pro at time...

A Polly Pocket Airbnb Is Booking Guests This September
If you were a Polly Pocket kid in the ’90s — and plenty of us were — then you probably still have tremendous nostalgia for the little doll. After all, Polly was our steadfast friend through countless long car rides and boring restaurant dinnners. Those play sets were basically Millennial iPads! And now, Polly’s iconic Slumber Party Fun compact has been brought to life in Littleton, Massachusetts (get it? Littleton?)... actually, it’s been brought to larger than life as a spectacular Airbnb.
Do Dogs Have Nightmares? They’re Not Telling, So We Asked A Vet
We've all seen them do it — your dog digs around in your blankets for a while before settling in. Then, when they reach a deep sleep, they start moving their feet like they're sprinting after something, even though they're totally KO'ed. Maybe they bark a few tiny, muffled barks or even start whimpering (so pitiful). It's enough to make you wonder, do dogs have nightmares?
