Lego Building Ideas Practical Things Around The House

Lego Knife Stand Normally, you wouldn’t let your kid play with knives. But hey, sometimes you bend the rules a bit. Especially when the alternative is dropping $100-plus at Williams Sonoma on a knife block made out of some type of wood you’ve never even heard of. Via Lifehack Lego Charging Station One way to cut down on all of the USB cords and chargers getting mixed up and tangled around the house is to load them up in this Lego charging dock, color coded so you’ll never forget which charger is which....

Listen To This The Office Theme Song Remixed As A Retro Hip Hop Anthem

The theme song — which is decidedly not hip hop or lofi — has been re-tooled to become the perfect music to work, write, or study to. And, courtesy of NBC, the hour-long track is illustrated with clips of the beloved television show, so shots of the whole gang having goofs, laughing, making okes, and being overall nice to one another and having great, heartwarming moments accompany the music. Plus, the occasional gag — like when Pam figures out that Michael is dating her mom — are part of the song, making it a trip down memory lane, but not one that’s too distracting, either....

Major Medical Debt Changes Coming To Consumer Credit Reports

TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax announced a change that will significantly overhaul how medical debt influences credit reports.

Making Friends With Dads Is Not Easy But I Ll Keep Trying

READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Stay-At-Home Parenting After our daughter, large chunks of that circle began breaking away. I promised my friends nothing would change, but their suspicions proved correct. But having someone in your house who can die at any given minute due to something the law would hold you accountable for, that’s kind of a decadence-damper for me. I love my daughter, and I love being a dad....

McGuire was caught trespassing at the park, (all of Disney’s properties have been closed due to COVID-19), after the Orange County, Florida sheriff’s deputy got a report of a trespasser on the long-abandoned island. The deputies launched an all-out search for the camper on foot, in boats, and from helicopters. They also tried to reach him by going on a PA system telling him he was trespassing.

Markybox Monthly Subscription Box Art Project Kit For Kids

Not to be confused with the Marky Mark box (which is full of Funky Bunch cassettes and used Calvin Kleins), these kits go way past a few sheets of construction paper and some glitter. Recent boxes have included plaster molding, paper marbling, screen printing, tin screening, string art, papier mache, and fabric dying. Goodbye Brown, hello RISD. Each box includes a single project that’s been curated or designed by a “world-renowned contemporary artist” (like Will Farrell) and comes complete with instructions and all the supplies necessary for 2 people (age 4+) to get their hands dirty....

Mars Biden Wants Your Kids To Go Explore The Planet

Not anymore, due to a new budget proposal from the Biden administration that makes a Mars visit in our lifetimes seem like it could genuinely become reality — and just when our kids are old enough to join NASA. (And, of course, there’s that space hotel that plans on welcoming guests in the next five years…) According to Space.com, as part of President Biden’s annual budget request — a document that lays out the funding and policy priorities of the administration from child care to mental health services — the White House has also requested $26 billion for NASA to fund Artemis moon landings....

Marvel Gives Fans First Look At Loki S Spin Off Tv Show Fatherly

Disney just released photos from its Investor Day event, which took place on April 11. It was at this event that the details of the service were announced, and one photo shows Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige — the man as responsible for the MCU as anyone — talking to the audience with an image from Loki behind him. The photo is frustratingly out of focus, but there are still plenty of clues for Marvel fans to pour over....

Matador Pocket Blanket Compact Picnic And Beach Blanket

Yes, that would be a twin mattress-sized (63″ x 44″) blanket that miraculously folds down to about the size of a deck of cards, providing you with an instant picnicking, stargazing, festivaling, or diaper changing spot anywhere you go, any time the moment strikes. You don’t need a bag to carry it (attached pouch included), and you only need your hands to unfold and fold it (by following the handy “easy-pack pattern”)....

Matt Bevin Took His 9 Kids To A Chicken Pox Party Why He S An Idiot

Matt Bevin understands that tradition means scoring cheap political points by putting his kids in danger. What a guy! Bevin is such a consummate traditionalist and upholder of old-school values, that he’s apparently too polite to share the groundbreaking research he’s done on the chickenpox vaccine, which mere modern medical professionals claim to be safe and effective. He’s not grandiose like that. Instead, he did the American thing and put his nine kids through fever, headaches, and rash while risking severe complications, including sepsis, encephalitis, and pneumonia....

Matt Lanter On Fatherhood Jupiter S Legacy And Being Anakin Skywalker

Matt Lanter arrives at Jupiter’s Legacy as something of a sci-fi and fantasy veteran. The model-turned-actor has appeared in a ton of films, but he’s probably best known for voicing Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Fatherly recently caught up with Lanter, who filled us in on Jupiter’s Legacy, looked back at his time in a galaxy far, far away, and revealed why he, his wife, and their daughter are grateful to be living in Nashville during the pandemic....

Mcdonald S New Happy Meal Standards Don T Go Far Enough

This commitment is a positive step, but reducing children’s consumption of nutritionally poor fast food will require much more. I have spent 10 years studying fast-food kids’ meals marketing and nutrition. My research and that of others demonstrate an enormous challenge for parents to select healthy options when the environment inside fast-food restaurants makes the unhealthy options so much more appealing. Fast Food: Children Are Lovin’ It Improving the nutrition of fast-food kids’ meals is important to public health....

Megan Fox Doesn T Want You To Cancel Michael Bay Just Yet

In response, people on the internet have clamored to cancel Michael Bay, not just for this scene with 15-year-old Megan, but also for overall actions that he had made during his career. Some people seem to have gotten their facts mixed up, and suggested that while she was working on Transformers, she was also forced to audition in a sexualizing manner (nearly naked, fixing Michael Bay’s car.) Fox took to Instagram to dispel those specific claims — she was 20 when she auditioned for the movie and, per her words, “for this particular audition story,” nothing untoward happened and she wasn’t “undressed or anything similar....

According to a BBC News report, a researcher posed as a 13-year-old girl and “witnessed grooming, sexual material, racist insults, and a rape threat” while engaged in the virtual-reality world in an app called VRChat.

Moderna Could Vaccinate Tweens Teens By Back To School Season

Hoge said of the study of 12 to 17-year-olds: “We expect to have data from that 12 to 17 TeenCove study, hopefully perhaps by the summer, so we could be vaccinating adolescents going into the school year.” Vaccinating kids age 12 to 17 against COVID-19 would be a gamechanger for several reasons — not least of which because tweens and teens would be protected against COVID-19 as they are asked to re-enter school buildings, and from potentially spreading it....

Most People Are Having Enough Sex To Be Happy And Healthy Science Says

It’s Normal to Not Have as Much Sex as You Used To How much sex a person has is never a constant thing and fluctuates with age. Unsurprisingly, people between the ages of 18 and 29 years old have the most sex (112 times per year, on average, or about twice per week). But it’s all downhill from there. People between the ages of 30 and 39 have sex about 86 times per year, and between 40 and 49 the average rate is barely once a week....
