The cereals-in-question are not new cereals per se. Rather they are permutations on extent cereals, versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. The four cereals are: Limited Edition Peach Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Blasts, Peanut Butter Chocolate Blasts, and Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes, a chimerical cereal formed by mixing frosted flakes and lucky charms. In the spirit of scientific inquiry, and also because my kids love cereal, I formed with them a panel to evaluate the cereals....

Some candy-related debates are trivial: arguments over best Halloween candy, or the best way to eat candy corn. Other conversations are more serious: the havoc wrought on pediatric dental health is of more serious concern, the toughness of the holiday for kids with food allergies another, and of course kids who sneak their candy at all hours, or gorge on Halloween night, leading to a sugary fiasco and tummy aches....

All this adds up to the fact that marriage counsellors and couples therapists are offering a lot of advice. As so many couples are dealing with shared issues of balancing work and home life, communication, and the overall goal of not wanting to smother their significant other (kidding), it’s not a surprise that the advice on how to address those problems overlaps as well. To put that advice in one place, we asked a variety of counselors and other mental health professionals working with couples to tell us the marriage advice they’ve been sharing the most....

Do you find children’s design has more in common with its contemporary adult designs or with children’s design through time? That is, is a toy made in 1950 more similar to a desk made in 1950 or a toy made in 1980? Children’s objects are often a signal of the times, reflecting both the evolution of the design industry and shifts in public perception. Fascinatingly, much of the design history of the twentieth century can be traced through developments in children’s furniture, as their smaller scale was ideal for designers seeking to test new materials and processes....

By second grade, kids tend to form close friendships and have their own peer group. They might get into team sports or develop a long enough attention span to enjoy painting and drawing. They’re often vocal, opinionated, and very clear about what interests them (and what doesn’t). Most of all they have a developed imagination. The best toys for 7-year-olds might help them write stories, draw intricate pictures, or build and create things....

Well, now you’re the dad. And that same scenario, whether you realize it or not, is currently playing itself out behind the scenes in your house. Every time you tell your spouse or kids, “I’m fine with nothing,” when they ask what you want for your birthday, Father’s Day, or Christmas, you aren’t helping. So stop. Take a look at this list of holiday gifts, each of which costs $50 or less, and pick a couple of favorites....

There’s countless options out there, though. Here are the best, most realistic Marvel toys to transform your kid (and you!) into your favorite Avengers and Marvel characters, from Iron Man and Captain Marvel, to The Hulk and Thor....

For the uninitiated, mezcal is not tequila though they are similar. They are both distilled from agave plants and labeled based on age: joven (blanco for tequila), or young = unaged; reposado, meaning rested = barrel aged for two months but less than a year; and anejo, or old, which does more than one year in the barrel. Tequila can only be made in and around Jalisco from blue agave....

“I think the best dinosaur movies are any that inspire kids and their parents to think about dinosaurs as real animals, prompt questions about how scientists have come to know what they know, and generate curiosity about how our world has changed and is changing over time,” says Danny Barta, a doctoral candidate at the American Museum of Natural History’s Richard Gilder Graduate School. Which is exactly what the movies here do....

The reason is fairly eye-opening: According to a 2018 study presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics, only 41 percent of children between ages 7 and 17 could tell the difference between toy and real guns, when photos were placed side by side. So be smart. Talk to your kids about guns and the harm they can inflict and avoid buying any that look like they belong in Lone Survivor....

Upgrade Your Underwear The biggest culprit to your swampy situation may not be anything biological. The fabric that’s smushed up against your skin all day is either helping or hindering circulation and moisture evaporation. First and foremost, you should wear something with a high percentage of cotton, since it absorbs sweat instead of trapping it against the skin. However, you don’t want 100 -percent cotton drawers, since your underwear is tucked away in your pants, which themselves aren’t allowing much ventilation....

Before we go any further, a disclaimer: I absolutely love the Toy Story movies. I mean, what’s not to love? They are funny, smart, heartwarming films that work together to tell a beautiful, complete story that only gets better with each new viewing. This article is not a takedown. Instead, it’s some neurotic insight into a fantastic franchise from someone who spends far too much time-consuming pop culture. As you’re well aware, Pixar doesn’t shy away from populating the Toy Story world with creepy stuff....

Imagine if a Yeti cooler and Sonos speaker got a little too tipsy one night and decided to have a go. That’s what the Everdure Cube grill resembles, with its square, minimalist lunchbox design that begs to be displayed. There’s a pretty nice pedigree behind the grill. For those unfamiliar, Blumenthal is the culinary multi-sensory cooking whiz behind the Fat Duck restaurant, in Berkshire, England — one of only three Michelin starred restaurants in all of Great Britain....

But not all of that disruption was negative. Indeed, the break from normalcy gave workers an opportunity to reevaluate their current employment situation. Many have found something sorely lacking — whether it’s recognition from their employer, a competitive salary, or the opportunity for career advancement — leading to what some economists dub the “Great Resignation.” While quitting your job can often be a great move in the long run — especially if you use it as an opportunity to reboot your career elsewhere — it’s not without financial risks in the short term....
