This Baby Yoda Cocktail is a little extra because not only is it going to help melt the stress but it’s seriously adorable, too. There’s more than one way to make up the Baby Yoda Cocktail, but the one that catches my eye the most has to be the one by Kegworks....

Of course, athlete autographs and celebrity appearances just the icing on the kids toy cake. The show includes tons of toy-related exhibits and activities. There’ll be a custom-built NERF battle arena, a spot dedicated to Dungeons and Dragons, and even an area to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering. The big sell for toy collectors, however, has to be the release of some exclusive new products. Here are a few that fans have been pining for:...

Called the “family glitch,” the loophole is an Obama-era definition of what qualifies as “affordable” insurance. The ACA mandates that workers qualify for the ACA Marketplace, through which Americans can access a health insurance plan, if their employer-sponsored insurance costs more than 9.83% of their household income. However, the so-called affordability threshold only accounts for the employee’s self-coverage, not coverage for a spouse or children. Therefore, if employee-only coverage falls beneath the threshold, insurance is considered affordable, even if the cost of insuring dependents drives the cost well beyond the threshold....

The popular television show, which airs on Disney+ and Disney Junior, is kicking off a nationwide live tour in New York City later this fall. Presented by BBC Studios and Andrew Kay in association with Windmill Theatre Co., Bluey’s Big Play the Stage Show will have all our kids’ favorites including Bluey, Bandit, Chili, and Bingo.

Otherwise indistinguishable from a regular sticker, BuzzPatches are citronella-soaked pieces of fabric that go on kids’ clothing and can help provide a bubble of bug protection. Just stick one on to a shirt or pants leg and mosquitos, which detect humans via body odor, the carbon dioxide humans emit, and other sensors, should get the message to stay away. A little background: Citronella oil, according to the National Pesticide Information Center, is a naturally occurring insect repellent that is distilled from two grass varieties....

“For kids, early intervention makes such a huge impact on their long-term wellbeing and development,” says Tiffany Munzer, M.D., a developmental behavioral pediatrician at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. You could expect some nerves around any changes to the milestones — checklists for kids, after all, have long imparted undue worry to parents. But these updated milestones are changing for the better, Munzer says. The new guidelines, developed by a team of 13 experts, were designed to not only help uncover developmental delays earlier, but also to take unnecessary stress and confusion off parents’ plate....

Wild The 21st century’s answer to Max and Calvin is the green-haired girl at the center of Emily Hughes’ acclaimed debut. Raised in the wild and taught to survive by animals, she’s taken by 2 similar looking animals to their weird concrete dwelling and baffled by their inability to properly speak (like birds), eat (like bears), or play (like foxes).

According to Reuters, a SpaceX rocket ship took off from Florida on Sept. 15, 2021, carrying four people, none of whom were astronauts or even close. The amateur astronauts, which included 38-year-old American founder and chief executive of financial services firm Shift4 Payments Inc., Jared Isaacman, Sian Proctor, 51, Chris Sembroski, 42, and Hayley Arceneaux, 29, soared into orbit in the world’s first all-civilian crew to circle the earth from space....

Children are also vulnerable to the effects of stress, even if they may not show it the same way. “If you’re a child who has not experienced additional stress as a result of the pandemic, then you’re in a really unique situation,” says Jennifer Taylor, a play therapist in Hawaii. “There are different ways kids experience this stress, but in every way, the pandemic has created new things for kids to cope with....

Now, with the threat of the coronavirus, many parents will find themselves working remotely. The good news is it’s certainly possible to work from home with the kids around, if you don’t mind smooshing your work and home life together like some mashed-up PBJ sandwich. If you think it sounds easy, it’s harder than you think. If you think it sounds hard, it’s also harder than you think. But it’s certainly possible....

This story, which will be updated frequently until scientific consensus is reached on the questions posed, is intended to be an up-to-date accounting of what epidemiologists, doctors, and public health workers know so far. All quotes are timestamped because available information is becoming outdated rapidly. Answers should be understood in light of that fact. Just because we believe we know something now does not mean that thing is true. A lot of hypotheses have yet to be tested....

What Did The Senators Ask For? “We urge you to include recurring direct payments and automatic unemployment insurance extensions tied to economic conditions in your Build Back Better long-term economic plan. This crisis is far from over, and families deserve certainty that they can put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. Families should not be at the mercy of constantly-shifting legislative timelines and ad hoc solutions,” the senators wrote....

“Right here in Minnesota, we’re now seeing the other aspect of this B.1.1.7 variant that hasn’t been talked much about, and that is the fact that it infects kids very readily,” said Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infection Disease Research and Policy, said on Meet the Press. “Anywhere you look where you see this [strain] emerging, you see that kids are playing a huge role in the transmission,” he continued, pointing out that kids in middle and elementary school were not major spreaders of COVID-19 before variants started to emerge....

Lyle Coram – a stagehand who works for two major Las Vegas hotels – told ABC News that the whole process behind designing his 7-year-old daughter’s room took place gradually over the course of three months, and included a hodgepodge of Disney-inspired ideas. “We didn’t really plan the room, it just came together,” said Coram in an interview with Good Morning America. “Every time we would go to Disneyland, we would get new ideas and add it to the room....

But he’s didn’t let us down. It’s actually okay for Daniel Craig not to be funny in the SNL context. In fact, it’s actually kind of a relief. Like many men, I spend a decent amount of time thinking about how my self-image compares to James Bond. And delusional or not, that often translates to “real world” scenarios. I have a salmon-colored button-up beach shirt that I am convinced makes me look great, only because it resembles one that Sean Connery wore in Thunderball....

“That’s basically it,” Chang tells Fatherly. “I cook the majority of the meals. I cook most of Hugo’s meals. I try to cook meals where he can eat the same thing we’re eating”That’s proven a bit tricky as of late. Chang says Hugo doesn’t want anything he makes anymore. “All he wants to eat is rice. Bananas, avocado, all the things he used to like — he doesn’t care,” he says....

Responding to the thread, Reddit user u/BlankSmitty got the top comment when he responded: “I had a client file for divorce because every morning his wife would ask him how he takes his coffee… for seven years.” Another responded that his client “didn’t help her put up a shower curtain. It may have been a straw that broke the camel’s back situation though.” Not all of the responses were anecdotal and quirky....

For the record, we’re not talking about push toys that toddlers stand behind to use for balance when learning to walk. Those are different and completely safe. We’re talking about baby walkers, those wheeled Fred Flinstone carts in which a baby comfortably sits and walks themselves around the house, and often down a flight of stairs. Per a study published in the journal Pediatrics on Monday, walkers have caused more than a quarter of a million babies under 15-months-old to be treated for broken bones, concussions, and skull fractures between 1990 and 2014....

What Is the Military Diet? The military diet prescribes a week-long cycle of three days “on” and four days “off,” repeated as many times as you need to reach your goal weight. Days one through three require a very restrictive intake of 1,100-1,400 calories, followed by four days of eating up to 1,500 calories — still “pretty low,” says dietician Liz Weinandy of Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. For comparison, health experts typically recommend that adults eat between 2,000 and 2,500 calories a day....
