Let’s be clear: the crib you choose is a question of aesthetics, because of tighter regulations enacted in 2010. That’s when drop-side rail cribs were banned, so any new crib you buy today will conform to those safety standards. Plus, whatever crib you get, per the Consumer Product Safety Commission, will have wood slats that are much more solid than in older iterations. Crib hardware also has anti-loosening devices to keep it from getting loose or falling off....

But while Captain Marvel’s maroon and blue bodysuit is a great look, it’s probably not something you’d want your kids to wear to school. A better idea is to let them dress like like Carol Danvers, Air Force pilot and total badass even before she absorbs the superpowers that turn her into Captain Marvel. We found five jackets that Captain Marvel-loving kids will love to wear. Up and Away Boys’ MA-1 Flight Jacket This 100 percent nylon jacket is nice and swaggy (and shiny) It features a golden airplane zipper, pockets with snap-close flaps, and a mix of incongruous patches adorned with logos of everything from NASA to Blackhawk Air Support to the U....

In some ways this is, if not natural, at least normal, considering what social scripts say about gender roles in the bedroom. Men traditionally took the lead when it comes to accessible sexual narratives (oh, hi, porn). But that doesn’t change the fact that a woman in bed has a strong opinion about what she wants — and these things don’t always align with her partner’s. In the absence of mind-reading, there are some universal things men can do to help please women in the bedroom....

1. Go Low Doggy Style typically requires the individual on the receiving end to position themselves on their hands and knees. But a slight pivot can allow for an even more intimate experience. Instruct your partner to extend their arch and support themselves with their elbows instead of their hands. This allows for deeper and more pleasurable penetration. 2. Tighten Up Ask your partner to position their legs close together, with yours positioned on either side of them....

What is, however, is a shawl-collar cardigan. Shawl-collars sweaters are what happens when a Victorian smoking jacket fucks a knit cardigan, a piece of clothing first popularized by the Earl of Cardigan in the Crimean War. (That is, the one in 1853; not the 2014 one.) On a man, especially a man like Steve McQueen or Sean Connery or Babe Ruth, it embodies a certain louche dering-do which is attractive on grown men and adorable on children....

But, for those of us looking to buy a new, sweet plugged-in ride, it isn’t as easy as going out and buying any old model. If you want an electric for cheap — and we’re talking thousands in savings — you’re going to have to read the fine print. Here’s what you need to know. 1. Don’t Rush Into Buying An EV Good news: You don’t have to rush into buying an EV to beat the incentive sales cap anymore....

Before they know it, they’re one of those. The over-sharers. The needy attention-seekers. The insufferable romantics. For some reason, the combination of two people in love plus social media is too often a recipe for disaster. But don’t worry, because help is available. There are ways to avoid being that couple, the one with an intolerable social media presence, while still being able to publicly acknowledge your avowed life partner....

In other words, it’s good for couples to make a conscious effort to highlight intimacy in the bedroom. One of the best ways to do this is to prioritize intimate sex positions — that is, variations of normal positions that emphasize eye contact, body touching, and more of that good stuff. “Trying out new sex positions is one way to boost intimacy and communication between couples,” says Dainis Graveris, certified Sex Educator and Relationship Expert at SexualAlpha....

But seriously, though, getting your kids to eat a freaking carrot can be a task comparable to taming dragons. At some point things are going to get hairy (and it will probably be the cauliflower, moldering, uneaten, in the fridge). The good news is that there are methods, and secret ways, to get something green in your kid’s face. Here are some of the best. Grow Your Own Interestingly, it turns out that when kids are invested in getting their vegetables to the table, they’re more likely to eat those vegetables....

RELATED: How to Manipulate a Kid Into Brushing Their Damn Teeth Of course, telling your toddler this won’t help you when you come at their grill with a toothbrush clutched in your meaty fist. Having a toothbrush averse child is pretty high on the list of parental frustrations. Luckily, there are some ways to bring them around to your point of view. None of these include watching BBC America....

“You definitely want one to help you hedge the shrub. But sometimes it’s best to go to a barber and let them do it and then you just follow it. You want the trimmer and clipper to help you keep your lines nice and clear,” says Genevieve Bochanty, the director of brand experience at the Art of Shaving. “You should follow the lines and it depends on the shape of your face....

As the story goes, its three iconic ingredients — vodka, ginger beer, and the copper mug — came together when one John G. Martin drowned his sorrows at a New York hotel bar with one John Morgan, owner of L.A.’s British-inspired Cock ‘n’ Bull pub. Martin, an executive at the beverage company Heublein, was having a hard time hawking his company’s latest acquisition, Smirnoff Vodka, because vodka wasn’t popular in the American cocktail scene at the time....

It’s because my 1-year-old son, Jake, stands next to me, laughing his adorable, infectious laugh. Regardless of what’s going on at the time, nothing — not even what I’m sure will at least be a testicular hematoma — can keep me from smiling when Jake laughs his big, uninhibited laugh. And this little guy seems to laugh hardest when dad injures himself. Jake is directly responsible for me lying here in the fetal position and struggling to remember the last time I felt pain this great....

While much of the data on COVID-19 is incomplete, more than one study has suggested that while children are less likely to be infected by coronavirus than adults, reopening schools would give children three times as many opportunities to become infected. This could cause a massive surge in the virus, which in many states is rapidly climbing. So far, 2.4 million Americans are confirmed to have the disease and more than 120,000 have died....

For Alex Winter, returning to the role of Bill wasn’t a joke. Bill and Ted Face the Music is a lighthearted, silly movie, designed to deliver some late ’80s/early ’90s comfort, sure. But, underneath that layer is a slightly more serious movie about growing old and growing up and being a dad. Fatherly caught up with Winter just before Bill and Ted Face the Music hits digital download. He told us that this movie is a love letter to suburban dads everywhere....

You can ask her anything from what the best Star Wars movie is (spoiler alert: she prefers The Empire Strikes Back) to an interesting fact about the franchise (“During filming of the Phantom Menace, Ewan McGregor made lightsaber noises as he dueled, it was noted and corrected during post-production”). Alexa can also tell Star Wars-themed jokes, teach you Jedi mind tricks (which she recommends using to buy pizza), and recite the Jedi Code....

“Men in our culture are seen as the protectors, so they have a deep need to be cared for and nurtured,” marriage and family therapist Katie Ziskind told Fatherly. “If a man is not getting these needs met from his partner at home, he may feel attracted to a nurse who is caring for him, tending to his needs, and helping him get food.” Few studies focus on the sexualization of nurses specifically, but there’s evidence that they’ve been fetishized for decades....

Plus, well, enough core work can help make you presentable when you stroll around the house in boxers. Although we should note doing ab work and getting a six-pack do not go hand in hand (And to do so you basically have to starve yourself). The beauty of a core workout is that there’s only so much abuse your belly can take, which means each session is short and sweet, or at least short....
