Googling pumpkin patch near me? You’re not alone. It’s pumpkin season, and everyone’s in search of a local pumpkin patch. I don’t know about you, but I love everything about this time of year. From pumpkin spice products to watching It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with my kids. You know what else I love?

Chad Duell Opens up About His Split From Courtney Hope

For five years, Chad Duell (Michael, GENERAL HOSPITAL) and Courtney Hope (Sally, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS) were soapdom’s real-life supercouple. Fans followed them on social media as they took hikes with their collective dogs, built a beautiful home together, got engaged, and then got married on Oct. 23 in a lavish, red-and-black gothic-themed affair. Then, sadly, less than two months after they tied the knot, the couple quietly separated, leaving their fans crushed and understandably wondering

Maurice Benard Opens up About Adopting His Daughter, Heather

The most recent guest to sit down with GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Maurice Benard (Sonny) on his weekly State of Mind YouTube series was one who is very special to the actor: his daughter, Heather. Back in 2008, the GH star and his wife, Paula, adopted Heather (who was then 15) after her and Paula’s mother unexpectedly passed away.

Everything You Need To Know About Christmas Card Etiquette—Like How to Make Your Last Name Plural!

Christmastime is here! That wonderful season where we deck the halls, trim the tree, watch endless corny made-for-TV holiday movies, and put Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on repeat! Oh, yes, and send out Christmas cards!

The time-honored tradition of exchanging Christmas cards with family and friends is one that many of us enjoy. It’s a thrill like no other to go to the mailbox each day in December and see those glorious card envelopes instead of just a pile of junk mail. We

The Latest on Eric Braeden’s Plans to Retire From Y&R!

On March 26, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS will celebrate its 48th broadcast anniversary… and soap icon Eric Braeden has been playing Victor for 41 of those years.

Prolonged Potty Training Is Not Always An Indicator Of Developmental Delays

Potty training can be a trying time for parents and kids alike. Our kids refusing to use the toilet, constantly having accidents, and screaming and crying at the thought of going near the bathroom are just a few of the potty-training fails that stress moms out. Then there’s the notion that our sons and daughters should be out of diapers by a certain age. And when they’re not, we can’t help but worry.

The minute my middle schooler logs off from school for the day, it starts. “I’m going to go play Fortnite.” Some days, we’ll see him for as long as it takes him to eat dinner before he again disappears into his bedroom with the Nintendo Switch attached to his hands, where he’ll spend hours cross-playing video games with his friends.
