Nathan Evans, a Scottish musician, and postman posted a TikTok video of him singing the sea shanty “Soon May the Wellerman Come” on Dec. 27, 2020, and it immediately resonated with viewers likely due to its rhythm, Evans’ bellowing voice, and the song’s participatory nature. It doesn’t feel like Evans is singing at us, rather, he seems to be calling for a crew to join him in a maritime adventure....
Who was the last person you yelled at? My wife. It’s becoming the new normal in my home, as we’re both yelling at each other all the time. Why’s that? So when you’re a happy but often stressed family of three, adding child number two just seemed like the right thing to do. Our daughters have a five-year gap between them and that’s enough time to completely forget how many times a night a newborn wakes up to eat....
If my son needs comfort, his father is his second choice. This is a pretty typical experience, and it probably comes down to gender norms. Generally speaking, fathers are more invested in preventing harm in the first place than comforting children in the aftermath, researchers have found. And kids, as they age, become less comfortable showing weakness around, and opening up to, their fathers. Meanwhile, their relationships with their mothers grow stronger....
A little less than a year after the final curtain, series co-creator Mike Schur took to Twitter to reveal that Offerman had carved elegant canoe paddles with the Pawnee City crest emblazoned on them for the entire cast and crew — paddles that were made from wood Offerman had salvaged from the rubble that once was the Parks & Rec set. It was both a heartfelt tribute to a beloved character, and a testament to how deeply Offerman loves the craft of woodworking....
The United States is the only wealthy nation in the world without a federal paid leave program. The government does offer 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave through the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for qualifying private and federal employees, but there is no federal program for private workers that replaces wages in the event of childbirth, becoming a new parent, sickness, sickness of a family member, or any other emergency that might come up over the course of a worker’s life....
What is a Worm Moon? The Full Moons always have interesting names and the story behind the Worm Moon is no different. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Full Moon in March is called the Worm Moon because of the time of year, and not what the moon looks like. The Worm Moon marks the days that come just before spring when the ground begins to thaw from winter. This time marks when the earthworms come out of the soil for the first time of the year, marking spring since worms provide food for other animals and birds....

WARNING: THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE HAS MAJOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME SPOILERS SO DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT As you walk out of Avengers: Endgame, you will likely find yourself dwelling on a few lingering questions about the three-hour epic blockbuster. Did the time travel actually make any sense? Who was that kid at Tony’s funeral? And did Thor officially make the dadbod cool? But the biggest question you will likely be wondering about is why is Steve Rogers suddenly an old man at the end?...
Warning: Major Captain Marvel spoilers are featured in this article so if you are hoping to walk in blind, stop reading. At the end of Captain Marvel, which is set in 1995, Carol Danvers (aka Captain Marvel) agrees to leave earth to help the Skrulls (a shape-shifting alien race) find a new home in a universe where they will no longer be hunted by the Kree Empire. Before she leaves, she gives Fury a pager that can reach her in case of major emergencies (the same pager Fury activates before he disintegrates at the end of Infinity War)....
But then again, you probably knew that. The trailers for WandaVision was all about a surreal spin on old sitcoms. The trailer for Falcon and Winter Soldier looks like a James Bond movie meets a Fast and Furious movie meets, well, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Do we really have to keep calling it that when it’s now mostly on TV. ANYWAY.) Still, in terms of your TV time management, the biggest real difference between WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier isn’t just the style, tone, and inclusion of totally different superheroes....

Although post-credits scenes have been around for a while (anyone remember Skeletor’s reemergence in Masters of the Universe?) the Marvel movies have arguably popularized the post-credits scene as a way to tease out a much bigger move for sequels and spin-offs. Now that it’s been a while since we’ve all been able to get excited about going into a darkened theater, the most popular TV series of the moment has delivered a strange coda....
Nobody is more aware of this transformation than Kevin Smokler and Christopher Boone, directors and producers of a new documentary called Vinyl Nation, all about the resurgence of records stores, vinyl records, and turntables throughout the US in the past several years. Just before Record Store Day in April 2022, Fatherly caught up with Smokler and Boone, to dig deep on why records are so desirable, how the vinyl renaissance happened, and which records we should be saving for our kids....
Choosing a meaningful baby name is never as easy as it sounds. Luckily, the Social Security Administration publishes annual lists of the most popular names each year, dating back to the 1800s. Parents considering a boy name like Noah, Elijah, Mason, or Logan should know their baby boy will be in good company, as those names are among the top 10 most popular boy names every year. But the Social Security lists also tell us which baby boy names are uncommon....
A team of researchers from Japan looked at 16 studies going back to 2012 from the U.S., England, Scotland, Australia, and Japan. The number of study participants varied widely, from 3,809 in one study to 479,856 in another. Each participant was monitored for at least two years. The data suggested that those who participated in as little as 30 minutes per week or up to 60 minutes per week of weightlifting had a 10-17% lower risk of death from any cause....

Silverstein was extraordinarily prolific, penning hundreds of poems and more than 1,000 songs before he passed away in 1999. Although many of his poems are hilarious, parents might only remember the goofiness, which could make Silverstein seem less accessible than his peers. Additionally, the fame of The Giving Tree is arguably part of why Silverstein gets overlooked, as it’s a masterpiece but isn’t really representative of the man’s body of work....
I Lost Touch With a Lot of Friends “I’ve never been good at juggling responsibilities. I’m not a multitasker, so it was hard for me to keep up with every aspect of my life as a new dad. Unfortunately, that included keeping in touch with a lot of my friends. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, it was because I felt like I spent every waking minute either working or taking care of the baby....
RELATED: The Best Beach Gear to Help Make Your Next Beach Day Go Smoothly Now, admittedly most new sand, water, and lawn games are rarely more than adaptations of already popular ones, like bean bag or frisbee. But that doesn’t make them any less fun. Plus, the new games add a creative twist to otherwise sub par games. Why toss a boring old bag when you can play a variation of cornhole with golf balls or hacky sacks?...
