9 Of Best Quilted Coats To Grab This Winter

Despite the name, they’re not made of actual quilts. The name comes from the classic quilted design. They’re typically filled with natural or synthetic fibers (also why they’re so toasty). Quilted coats are a more rugged winter jacket style than a peacoat or a topcoat, which tend to work better with slightly more elevated looks featuring chinos or winter tailoring. Think of a stylish quilted jacket like your everyday go-to when you want to dash out the door – throw it on atop blue jeans and a classic flannel shirt without thinking twice or missing a beat, for example....

A New Dad S Guide To Preventing And Treating Lower Back Pain

It’s a fact that parenting introduces your body, especially your spine, to a world of activities and subsequent aches you weren’t fully prepared for. Come to think of it, you probably started experiencing lower back pain right around the time your kid arrived — not the 6 pounds, 5 ounces version, of course, but the 15, then 20, now 30+ pound version of him who likes to swing from your neck and climb on your shoulders....

The reasons for this are predictable: The cultural norms of previous generations persist even though the economic reality has shifted. But the same poll found that only about 20% of men agree that their partners are fully or mostly responsible for housework and child care, with the same amount saying they’re fully or mostly responsible for these tasks....

Asweets Teepee Tents Review

Why play tents? Because they’re perfect props for imaginative games—one minute the tent is a castle, next it’s a ninja hideout—and can make cozy spots for extended reading sessions or even sleepovers as kids get older.

But what if, instead of rushing to pack it up every night, you splurged on one that wasn’t a total eyesore?...
