Think you know who is going to win the Iron Throne? Guessing correctly could potentially win you a trip to Croatia, Afar reports.

In the final stretch of potty training, that phase when your kid almost gets it and you begin to daydream about a life of diaper-less freedom, you might be tempted to turn to Pull-Ups. These disposable “training pants” are supposed to look and feel more like underwear, theoretically making toddlers who wear them…

This is our first “How I Work” with a student—and what a student. Ana Humphrey was this year’s winner of the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. She was awarded the $250,000 top prize for developing a mathematical model “to…

The main advantage of apps with a dark mode is that they don’t shine so brightly in our eyes late at night. But there’s a disadvantage, too: dark mode can actually be harder to read, and possibly contribute to eyestrain.

Sure, you can (and should) buy your mom some flowers for Mother’s Day. But imagine if you gave your mom not just one bouquet that inevitably won’t last very long, but rather a living, flowering plant that produce flowers indefinitely?

It’s the 100th anniversary of Children’s Book Week and the Library of Congress is celebrating by offering a free online collection of rare children’s books that first published more than a hundred years ago.

Ice cream cone toppings. Who thought it would be a good idea to add weight to an already architecturally flawed design? With these add-ons supported only by a melty, soon-to-be liquid, you’re destined for a mess.

Every spring, I dry-clean a dozen of my winter coats. By the time I’ve stocked them back in my closet, I have enough barely used plastic material to wrap up my entire apartment.

When are your children’s activities worth the money they cost? What about that big family vacation you’re planning—is it something your kids will remember fondly, or will they only remember it as a waste of money?

I am perfectly capable of making lentils, but I never make lentils. Instead, I buy Trader Joe’s steamed lentils, which are more expensive than dry lentils, and feel oddly guilty about it. This guilt, of course, is silly. Though the pre-cooked lentils are twice as much as the dry guys, they are still only three whole…

If you let fear, obligation, or guilt control your decisions about money, you’re stuck in the Money FOG.

Some kids are natural bookworms, happy to spend hours of their day curled up in a comfy chair with a stack of chapter books. And some kids are, well, not.

What I hated about being woken up by my newborn in the middle of the night—aside from, you know, being woken up by my newborn in the middle of the night—was learning what time it was.
