PASSIONISTAS HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE #2. 10 BEST GAMES & TOYS FOR KIDS Let’s just admit it. Holidays are for kids. When we were kids it was all about the Sears catalog. If you know what we’re talking about, you get it. And if you don’t, we feel very sorry that you missed out. We had great Christmas mornings as kids. Sure we got some clothes and books, but the best part was the toys and games. And so we’ve dug deep within our inner children and compiled a list of our top 10 games and toys for kids made by women owned businesses. https://lnkd.in/g-ZcjdDm Note: The following is an affiliate link.

Have you seen this Vox article going around? Have you taken a moment to read it yet? In a potentially ironic twist (Alanis still has us messed up on what irony actually is) the headline may make you feel the dread of motherhood, but actually author Rachel M. Cohen does beautiful work here of uncovering not only HOW some of us have come to dread motherhood, but what the data actually tells and shows us is true - a picture that is both more complex, and rosier in fact. Here are a couple of the pull quotes that rang out to us ... with a special thanks to Cohen for linking to Chamber of Mothers as one of those working to make motherhood easier. - "Should we stumble across moms on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok who do seem to be enjoying the experience of child-rearing, we're taught to be very, very suspicious. Assume they're 'pitchwomen.' Assume they're ridiculously wealthy. Assume, as Times columnist Jessica Grose put it, that they're mostly peddling 'pernicious expectations.'" - "As Jennifer Senior notes in her book All Joy and No Fun, 'the idea that children give us structure, purpose, and stronger bonds to the world around us doesn't always show up in social science data' because of how researchers craft questions." - "Many smart, creative people have been thinking more deeply about practical ways to make motherhood easier, to weaken its sticky, suffocating pressures. It's not always easy to see, but things are changing, and can change further. We're not glossing over anything by making that clear." - "We should have the courage to reject the all-encompassing crisis frame - which frankly isn't working anyway. We can't expect to fully eliminate dread or even regret over having children." What do you think? https://lnkd.in/djKKZTzE

As a millennial juggling work and my kiddos (ages 6, 3, 2, and 6 weeks), this article felt relevant. It's spot on about how motherhood and parenting cover a wide spectrum. Most of us are cruising somewhere in the middle, handling the daily rollercoaster without a podcast to share our wins and struggles openly. Honestly, we're just trying to keep up with parenting and life itself! Here's a little tip: Extreme views tend to grab attention, but when it comes to understanding motherhood, no single podcast or study can capture its full essence. They often swing between complaints or overly optimistic views. Then there is the swath of platforms offering trauma informed advice, disguised as parenting tips, so take it with a grain of salt. Find people whose outcomes you admire (family wise) and ask them for advice, and/or trust yourself to figure out what’s best for you and yours, the rest is just noise. For me the reality is, being a mom brings both tough moments and incredible rewards. But in the end, I see it as an absolutely beautiful journey. Who/what has most influenced your views on parenthood?

As the baby boomer generation continues to age, more and more Americans will be faced with the difficult decision of elder care - a task for which many millennials and Gen Zers are not fully prepared. Currently, over 40 million Americans are acting as caregivers for their older family members or friends, and many describe feeling surprised and isolated when they realize their loved ones need extra support. With limited public discussion around aging and disability, it is crucial that individuals begin preparing themselves for this responsibility sooner rather than later in order to provide the best possible care for their loved ones. #aginginplace #seniorcitizens

New Post: Zoosk review: Easy to sign up, but that’s where its usefulness starts and ends - https://lnkd.in/gHfvnUuq - Dating sites and apps are a great way to meet people, but with so many out there these days, finding the site with the right features for you is pretty important if you're not keen on wasting your time. There's Tinder's famous easy swiping, Match's longer profiles for the more serious daters, Hinge's prompts that help the conversation going — the list goes on. So what about a dating site that can take you back in time? To be clear, we're not talking about actual time travel, so much as the immediate burst of Facebook-circa-2010 energy that Zoosk offers upon loading up its website or app. That's courtesy of an interface and features that make it clear this dating site was one of the first Facebook apps back in December 2007. While the other longstanding online dating players like Match, eharmony, and OkCupid have managed to (mostly) update to stay current and somewhat fresh, Zoosk's initial draw of making international dating simple and a matching users with a unique algorithm feels more and more gimmicky and unrealistic as the years go by. SEE ALSO: The best dating sites for finding serious, long-term relationships Who is on Zoosk? Allegedly, there are 40 million users on Zoosk across 80 different countries. If you're not trying to see the same 10 profiles within a 20 mile radius, these are pretty appealing numbers. The age range of users seems to vary widely, too — from my two weeks on the app, I saw profiles from 21-year-olds to 51-year-olds. Users as young as 18 can sign up, and my age filter maxed out at 51, though users up to age 98 can also make accounts — I'm unsure why I wasn't able to adjust my age filters any higher. With that said, I'm not sure this app is great for older crowds. I'm in my mid-20s and I found Zoosk's interface to be kind of confusing. There are definitely better dating apps for seniors out there. Sorry to all the 99-year-olds out there. Credit: Screenshot: Zoosk It's not the most queer-friendly dating app out thereWhen it comes to diversity of options for LGBTQ users, Zoosk could be doing a whole lot better. For starters, if you're interested in more than one gender, you'll have to take it up with Zoosk customer service, as there's no built-in option to select that preference on your profile. They'll then have to set you up with an additional profile. If you don't want to go through that process, you'll only get these four choices upon sign up: Ah yes, the expansive range of human sexuality, reduced to four options. Credit: Screenshot: Zoosk I'd just like to take a moment to speak directly to Zoosk — baby, it's 2024. I should not have t
