In the fall of 2020, Lynn Marchessault, an American living in Georgia, made plans to drive her children and the family pets all the way from their southern state to Alaska to be with her husband, a staff sergeant stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks. However, it seemed as though COVID-19, mother nature, and Canada’s government had other plans. As Marchessault explained to CNN, she conducted all the right steps to ensure she obtained the proper paperwork to cross through Canada to get to the U....

In-between weather is notoriously difficult to dress for. You don’t want to risk freezing by going jacketless, but donning your oversized winter parka also seems a bit dramatic. You could always throw on a hoodie, but that’s not dressy enough for every situation, and there are only so many times you can show up to work or an event in a denim or leather jacket. So what do you choose when you’ve exhausted all other options?...

I’ve been driving up to Windham, a small town in New York’s Catskill Mountains, for years. Usually, I turn right off New York State Route 23, toward my family’s house. This time, however, I turned left. That’s because I was forgoing a stay with my folks to visit the new Wylder Windham hotel, which opened in July following a massive renovation, instead. And, as I crossed the small bridge stretching over the rock-strewn Batavia Kill stream and drove up to the two-story white clapboard main lodge, I could instantly tell this transformation would be special....

Lemonade is a classic summertime staple for a reason. It’s light, tangy, and refreshing (soda could never!). But if you really want a sweet treat, you have to try Trader Joe’s new lemon-flavored ice cream, When Life Gives You Lemons Make Ice Cream. Taste sunshine in a carton with this delightful dessert that has a surprising ingredient: shortbread cookies! The product description is “lemon ice cream with a lemon swirl and shortbread cookie bits” — and, yes, my mouth is watering already....

Atlanta’s hospitality scene continues to grow with a notable addition to the city’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. The Darwin Hotel debuted on Dec. 13, just a mile east of downtown.

In Historic Cairo, you don’t just see the sights — you feel them. Between the whoosh of cyclists and the wafting scent of piping-hot flatbread, my senses couldn’t keep up. “Ready for a snack?” asked my guide, Asmaa Khattab. I obviously wasn’t the first of her clients to be both dazzled and disoriented by this corner of the city. The cobblestoned maze of mosques and monuments dates back to the 10th century — one of the largest collections of medieval architecture in the Islamic world....

Luckily, Giada De Laurentiis’ new recipe may be the treat you’ve been looking for for your morning coffee....

Motherhood changes you in more ways than one. While a new baby and less sleep may be part of the package, being a new parent changes you from the inside out. For Deborra-Lee Furness, being a mother has — by her own admission — made her smarter. In a new interview with People, the actress discussed her two children with her husband of 24 years, Hugh Jackman, as well as her family-focused charity....

Phil Rosenthal never has a bad day. I know this because I traveled with Phil for a week while he and his team shot an episode in Santiago, Chile, for the newest season of his eponymous show, Somebody Feed Phil. I know he doesn’t have a bad day because I watched Phil enjoy going to the airport in Los Angeles (an admittedly miserable experience). I know this because he didn’t complain when we had to wait in long lines to get COVID tests in the Santiago airport and quarantine ourselves in the hotel until our results arrived....
