If there’s one thing I’ve learned after 12 years of apartment living in New York City it’s that maximizing the space you have is going to make your entire home feel much larger.

When was the last time you “slept like a baby” at the perfect temperature and without any disturbances, like light and noise? Yeah, I can’t remember, either. But I do remember one thing that came in handy when my kids were babies (and no, it wasn’t a white noise maker): insulated blackout curtains. You know the ones with decorative fabric on one side that perfectly matched their nursery colors and a black backing that eliminated light and kept them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. These curtains were a lifesaver, allowing my babies to sleep through their naps, even in broad daylight and with a house full of people. Today, as teens, the same blackout curtains hang in their rooms, contributing to their 11 a.m. wake-up time each weekend.

Spaghetti topped with meat sauce checks off important boxes for a satisfying meal in many situations. Number one, kids like it, and it's one of the first foods they can eat all by themselves. A cherub face shoveling handsful of spaghetti into its sauce-coated mouth is one of life's cutest visions.

Nothing shows off the beauty of the natural world quite like a sunset. When the day’s finale is especially vibrant, no dazzling Fourth of July fireworks show or manmade special effect can come close to competing. A few things we love about sunsets: they’re free, there’s always an encore performance, and you can see one from just about anywhere. The sparkle and reflection of the sun gleaming off a rippling ocean makes a beach sunset especially romantic. Other times, the best place to watch the sun slip under the horizon is from comfort of your very own back porch. But for sunset chasers searching for their next all-time favorite show, there’s one place that should immediately jump to the top of your bucket list, and it’s Max Patch in Hot Springs, North Carolina.

Clover mites feed on more than 200 different species of plants, preferably clover, which gives them their name. But, surprisingly, they typically aren’t a huge problem for homeowners outdoors. It’s when they head indoors—in large numbers—that it’s a little more upsetting. “Clover mites are an occasional invader into our homes,” says Eric Benson, PhD, professor emeritus and extension entomologist with Clemson University. “In some years, you’ll see more than others. When the temperature and moisture levels are right, the population can explode.”

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

The Southern U.S. might not be first to come to mind when considering great surfing destinations. South Africa and Australia? Sure! Georgia and Texas? Maybe not. However, if you think surfing in the States is reserved for just California and Hawaii, you might need to take a note from the Beach Boys and imagine an entire “Surfin’ U.S.A.” Yes, the Pacific Ocean produces adrenaline-inducing swells, but East Coast surfers have discovered that what the Atlantic has to offer makes for some pretty stellar surfing, too.
