On any given day, there are nearly 450,000 kids in the U.S. foster care system. Some of those kids are in the system for days and weeks; others spend months or years bouncing from home to home to home.

Use workout apps long enough, and you’ll realize you can’t trust a single one. Sometimes they go defunct, or you take a break from running and forget your password, or your phone dies and takes your data with it. And even when all goes well, the apps can’t always track the metrics you should be tracking.

Windows: The concept of “spring cleaning” fills me with dread. Organizing your archives of stuff—physical or digital—is a lot easier to do as a year-round activity, rather than on one terrible day (or days) when it’s pretty outside and you’d rather be doing anything else.

One Saturday morning, my 6-year-old daughter was making a birthday card for a friend. She was sitting at a small table, and on the floor next to her were about ten crumpled sheets of paper. She kept writing the letter “H” for “Happy Birthday,” then deciding she didn’t like how it looked. She was getting frustrated,…

The first time I explained to my son, as a preschooler, that cartoon characters were not really real but drawn and animated on a computer, it blew his mind.

If you want to earn more money, passive income is one of the best ways to do it. Earning money through a job or side hustle is great, but if you can set up a passive income stream that generates money even when you’re not actively working—well, that’s kind of the dream, isn’t it?

They say variety is the spice of life, but I live my life literally, and I get my diverse kicks from actual spices, seasonings, and condiments. This is why various jars and squeeze bottles take up half my fridge, but it’s also why I eat at home almost every night.

I recently went through a “habits revamp”—I took a close look at my habits and asked myself which ones I wanted to keep, which ones I wanted to discard, and which ones I wanted to replace.

Your relationship with your body is a huge and complex (and political) topic, but there are plenty of practical, actionable ways you can start improving it.

Did you forget? Mother’s Day is this Sunday, which means you should probably send your mom a card right this second—and even if you’re the lazy type, there are plenty of easy options.

If you take a lot of family road trips, there will be times when you and your brood must consume food in the car. And all of those times, you can expect a disaster. Takeout meals are the worst. The paper bags are usually dripping with grease, the cups have faulty lids and nothing is arranged in proper eating order.…

Every parent wants to know if that time they blew up and yelled at their kid is going to scar them for life. Maybe that one afternoon you took them to the zoo and an orangutan made them cry is going to instill a lifelong fear of redheads. Who can say? Wouldn’t it be nice to get some advice from a professional?

Hi there. I’m probably the most regular Lifehacker reader without a Kinja account. But the streak is ending! Right now!

Running always seems like a cheap and easy way to exercise, until there’s a rainstorm or a blizzard or a 100-degree day. Then you start to get jealous of people who have treadmills in their basements...and people who have gym memberships. Here are a few ways you can get in that essential run when the weather just…
