Let's take a peek behind the curtain: what are these families squabbling about right now? No two families are alike, and none of them are perfect, either. Whether your family is just two people and a pet, or two parents and 2.5 kids, or a giant mixed family with stepparents, there's plenty of love to go around. Each family has to figure out how to navigate their lives together: for example, some families have dinner together each night, and they work out any issues while eating a casserole. But…

It can be different family members who decided to host, it can be a group of friends, or if you are brave enough, you might choose to host yourself. If you have no options, it can only mean one thing – No one you know wishes to undertake the mission of hosting a Christmas dinner themselves, and honestly…

Not wanting to sit next to your sibling on a flight because they're annoying is an experience that most of us have probably had at some point—and one you've definitely had if you're my sister. It's an almost universal experience for anyone who isn't an only child. Still, you most likely experienced it when you were still a kid or a teen, and your parents probably swiftly put an end to the bickering and told you to sit in your seat and be quiet. It's far less likely that you had to suffer throug…

How can one differentiate between people who act and make decisions out of selfishness and people who simply try to look after themselves and their own needs? As a society, we are constantly being flooded with contradicting messages when it comes to self-love and care: ‘Be kind to others’, ‘Love thy neighbor’, ‘Put yourself first’, ‘Love yourself before loving others’, etc… These messages make it impossible to know when we're supposed to put ourselves first and when we need to put ourselves asi…

Despite their careful planning, some wedding ceremonies are bound to have an incident or two. Often times the “incident” becomes legend: maybe Grandma does a hilarious dance after having a few too many, or your favorite uncle gives a speech that leaves everyone else speechless. These moments can be lovely. But other people had incidents that were way worse, and they're sharing their stories of exactly how it all went down. Sometimes the weather does get in the way.

Happy Turkey Day —I hope you're already stuffing your face with turkey and mashed potatoes! No matter what food you're serving up on Thanksgiving Day , the important thing is who you're sharing it with. Maybe you're the one who cooks, and dozens of relatives show up to bring side dishes, share family news, and watch the football game.

Many parents have to beg their children to pick up a book, but some have the exact opposite issue: They can't get their kids to stop reading!
