After inheriting your parents’ home, the prospect of selling that house can seem overwhelming. It’s a whirlwind—mentally, physically, and of course, financially.

iOS 17 is upon us. The new software introduces features like Live Voicemail, the ability to turn anything into a sticker, and StandBy, which turns your iPhone into a mini smart display. It isn’t ready quite yet, though—Apple always kicks off a new software release with the developer-only beta first, rolling out a…

Your bed can look as luxurious, warm, and fluffy as they do in catalogs and magazines. Gravity isn’t going to make it easy and will pull down even your thickest blanket, but fortunately, there’s a simple way to make your bedspread look more voluminous than usual.

I woke up to an air quality alert this morning, as probably a lot of you did. Smoke from Canadian wildfires has drifted toward the eastern half of the U.S., causing poor air quality in many areas. New York City issued a warning for people with heart or breathing problems to mask up when they’re outdoors, and many of…

Apple has just announced its sleek new lineup of MacBook Air laptops, including a 15-inch model with the powerful M2 processor. But while that machine is undeniably attractive, it starts at $1,300 and includes a lot of features (and power) you’ll probably never need if you only use your computer for browsing the…

Filling a watering can or setting up a sprinkler can be difficult (if not impossible) with low water pressure. While we all want to save water, sometimes you need a little force to get things done. Hiring a plumber to inspect your system to find the problem can be expensive, though—but there are some things you can…

Not every dog loves (or even tolerates) a bath, but almost every dog loves to run around. A new viral TikTok has suggested you can give your pooch the best of both worlds this summer by putting some shampoo on them and letting them loose when the sprinklers are running in your yard or a nearby park.

Getting your pup…

Having children means being exposed to nonstop illnesses. On average, young children get six to eight upper respiratory infections a year; in practical terms, that means a lot of missed school. One common illness that circulates among young children is strep throat, which is caused by Group A strep bacteria and is…

Dates can already be stressful, but throw in the curveball of their costs, and, well, they can feel more anxiety-inducing than they’re worth. It’s normal to want to “wow” your date with a solid first impression, but the good news is that they don’t need be super expensive. You can surprise your date with something…

Whether you’re jumping into a major DIY project or you just have some yard work to do or a picture frame to hang, the cost of buying new, high quality tools can add up quickly—so skip the hardware store and start shopping estate sales instead.

Estate sales are a great place to look for tools because they tend to be…

MacOS Sonoma hardly made the biggest splash at WWDC 2023 (that honor was reserved for Apple Vision Pro), but that’s no shade on what might be the most functional update the Mac operating system has seen in years. With Sonoma, Apple makes meaningful changes to how you use the Mac, from the moment you wake it up, to…

Somedays I feel deeply disconnected from the “food content” traveling across social media, almost to the point of doubting my own powers of perception. Yesterday was such a day. On Facebook, I saw people coo over an obviously mealy, pale tomato before watching a woman store fresh blueberries and hard boiled eggs in…

When most people think of growing peppers, they become devilish fiends for heat, goosing up ghost peppers and evil hybrids intended to max out the Scoville scale. I kindly propose you consider the other end of the pepper family, in which flavor and body takes precedence over the ability to burn out the pipes on either…

The word “hobby” has a lot of unfair connotations. When someone describes an activity as a hobby, they’re implying that it’s not serious, or it’s not “professional” work. But many people are incredibly skilled at their hobby, and it’s not uncommon for people to turn a hobby into a more serious endeavor. Plus, hobbies…

I garden for one reason: the sheer delight and utility of always having what I want to eat available outside my door. Not outside my door as in a “There’s a store down on the corner and this is why I live in the city” kind of way, but in a “I can always pull a carrot, onion and some celery from my yard at 10 p.m. if I…

While the internet might be abuzz about Apple’s expensive Vision Pro VR headset, there was plenty of other news to come out of WWDC 2023. For those of us with an iPhone, the biggest story might just be iOS 17. While the update won’t be the most revolutionary one Apple has ever issued, it adds plenty of few new features…
