Moms are great, and essential, and since they still often do the bulk of the workload when it comes to kids and homes, they tend to get most of the credit – and most of the discussing when it comes to how to parent kids into successful and healthy adults. One thing that moms really...

There are people in the world who pay no attention to high fashion (even if they follow the trends once they reach the plebs), and there are people who absolutely love to see what each designer puts on the runway for the new season. No matter which you are, I think we can all agree...

As an artist, I 100% support the idea that fashion is art, and is one way that human beings (not just designers) express who they are on a daily basis. As a human being who doesn’t really get fashion, I stare in wonder – sometimes horrified, sometimes impressed – at the outfits that sometimes parade...

You know how when your friends tell you about their relationships or marriages, they only tend to really let it out when bad stuff is happening? As a result, it can seem like nothing is good or nothing is going right at home, because no one thinks to gush when things are going well. Similar...

Jobs and employers can be one of those things in life where people only tend to talk about the downsides. They complain about the jobs that wear them down, the bosses who treat them like cogs instead of human beings, and the hours and duties that break their backs in exchange for a pittance in...

OK, fine, I know most of the people who designed and posted these signs weren’t created by actual graphic designers, but isn’t anyone who puts together a sign for public consumption technically just that? If everyone took that mindset, the world would be a lot less weird and confusing…but maybe that would be a bad thing. After...

Have you ever wondered how one person can really make a difference? How the things that you do, as a tiny human being, has the power to transform another person or a space? Well, if you want proof of how one small difference can affect the meaning of the whole, we’ve got them for you...

Most of us go through our lives not really thinking a whole lot about how we space out our words. We write, we type, the word processor does it for us most of the time, and so we remain blissfully unaware of how close we might have come to disaster. Once you’re talking about graphics,...

When people get that positive pregnancy test or stare into their newborn‘s face for the very first time, they imagine an entire life for that baby all at once. They make promises to that life and aim to keep them, though we all know deep down, I think, that life often won’t allow us the...

I feel like, when it comes to weddings, most people go into the day realizing that it’s all about the bride and groom and what makes them happy. It’s literally one of the only times in your entire life that you get to choose everything you and your partner like – and sure, you hope...

I would assume the majority of parents in the world realize that, once children go to college, your children are going to make their own decisions – good or bad, against the rules they’ve always had or not, but it’s time to let go. Some parents don’t realize that, apparently, and believe that, because they...

I think the reason – or at least, one of the reasons – that infographics have become so popular and fun is that in our world of “do everything faster” and “show me everything at once,” they’re the perfect visual capsule. They give us a bunch of information on a single topic, usually with a graph...

It’s easy to mispronounce words you don’t know, no matter how smart you are. If we’ve never had occasion to hear something said, after all, we can give it our best guess but never know for sure. You’ll often hear people who read a lot, and widely, mispronounce a word on their first try because...

There are many options when it comes to disciplining children, and in general, as long as no one is getting hurt, people tend to leave family business up to the individual families who have to live with their choices. That said, I think that most of us want to raise healthy and happy kids, and...

No one who has kids is here to tell you that having kids is easy, or that some days aren’t awful, or that there aren’t plenty of reasons to be sad, or angry, or any other human emotion. That said, we can all learn to be a little happier and more relaxed and in the...
