Questions to ask your partner when you're moving in

Moving in together is such a fun relationship stage. While you’re picking out sheets and stocking the kitchen, be sure to have a chat about the actual process of living together and blending your daily lives. The better you prepare yourselves, the less likely you are to bicker over the little things.

• What is your daily routine like? When do you get up for work, get home, like to eat, and so on?
• How much sleep do you like to get each night?
• Do you know how to tell when I’m angry?
• What are your pet peeves?

• If we like to take our space after an argument, how can we do that while living together?
• Will we still set aside time to go on dates outside of the house?

Questions to ask your partner when you're getting married

Wedding planning can be a blast, or kind of a stressful blur, or both. Amid all the hustle and bustle, don’t forget to talk to each other about your relationship, what this next step means, and what it’s all really about: your love.

• How will we handle conflicts with each others’ families?
• What’s your favorite thing I ever did for you for a special occasion?
• If you could change one thing about us as a couple, what would it be?

Questions to ask your partner after kids

Having children is such a special milestone in any relationship, and it’s also the one that can bring about the most change, tension, and resentment, as everyone’s duties and responsibilities change (and you’re both sleep deprived). But being able to sit, reconnect as a couple, and talk about your goals as a parenting unit can make you feel like you’re back on the same team.

• Do you wish you were raised differently? How, and why?
• When you think about how your parents parented you, what do you want to replicate with our kids?
• What traditions from your family do you want to continue with ours?
• What movies, books, or songs are you most excited to share with our children?
• What are some memories you know you want to make as a family?
• Did your family take trips when you were young? Is that something you’d like to recreate?
• Was your family super affectionate growing up, or were they more reserved with hugs and I love yous?
• What’s your favorite part of being a parent?
• What do you admire about me as a parent?
• As a child, did you trust both of your parents?
• What challenges do you feel you’re up against as a parent right now?
• What do you miss from our pre-baby life that we could try to do more of?
• What has been your favorite memory with our kids so far?
• How do you feel about traveling with children at this age?
• What is your favorite thing we do right now as a family? As a couple?

Long-term questions to ask your partner

If you’ve been together for a while and you’re just looking to start some good conversation, or reconnect mid-week amid all the chaos of life and work, these questions to ask your partner can help.

• If I ever lost my memory, what’s the first thing you’d tell me about us?
• What or who did your parents name you after? What's your relationship like to your name?
• Who is the kindest person you've ever met? What makes them so kind?
• What would you like to prioritize more in your life?
• What would you like to prioritize more in our relationship?
• When have you felt most loved by me?
• What was your first favorite movie, as a child?
• Knowing what you know now, what would you tell your younger self?
• What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? How have you applied it in your life?
• If you could know one thing about your future, what would it be?
• Would you rather know the day you’ll die, or the reason?
• What was your first favorite movie as a child?
• What's your favorite memory of our relationship?
• What's something we've never done together that you'd like to do?
• How can I love you better?

Here’s to having deeper conversations on dates, and being totally prepared for big life changes as a couple.

Is The Jeep Wagon Stroller Worth It? Yes, If You Have Two Kids

Before the stroller wagon came into our life, getting out for a walk with two little kids usually looked like this: My 4-year-old would say something along the lines of, “I want to ride in the stroller!” Then, I or my husband would say something like, “Well, your baby sister can’t walk yet, so she gets the stroller.” And that would go on in a back-and-forth fashion for however many minutes it took for us to either convince the older child that riding on a buddy board (or, painfully, our shoulders) was somehow as fun as riding in a stroller. Or, some of the time, we’d give up and just stay home, quietly losing our minds.

We’d noticed families — usually families with more than one kid at the farmers market — using wagons instead of strollers, and we started to see the utility in it. So, in a fit of desperation to get outside more easily, my husband ordered an inexpensive wagon meant for hauling sports equipment. Our first trip around the block illustrated how dicey it was to use a wagon meant for soccer balls for small, wiggly children, and the nanny declared it a “hellscape” after trying cart the kids around in it at the zoo. We packed it away, and when I got the opportunity to test out the Jeep stroller wagon — which is super burly and ultra-safe for kids — I jumped.

In this nearly over-engineered wagon stroller, both kids are securely buckled — hallelujah — into identical seats. They have exactly the same amount of room. They cuddle together under a blanket, each buckled into their own side of the wagon. If they don’t want to put on shoes, we say fine, and drop them, shoeless, into the wagon. Then we stash the sneakers in one of the wagon’s many storage compartments, then buckle, blanket, and head out the door.

Having this seriously-tricked out stroller wagon in our lives has made on-a-whim weekend coffee runs and random neighborhood wanders many times more accessible to us than they used to be, because we have significantly less to fight with the kids about. I only wish we’d had it when my youngest was first born, because with the car seat adapter, it would have been so easy to get outside as a family of four right away.

Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Stroller Wagon by Delta Children

Amazon

Stats

• Price: $299-$399, depending on whether you choose the standard or deluxe model
• Colors: Earthy green or light grey
• Who it’s for: Families with two little kids who want to get outside easily
• When to use: Every day, or for special outings
• Pro-tip: A lot of people seem to want to use these on beach trips. If you want a wagon stroller that can handle sand, upgrade your order by adding sand wheels for an extra $89.

Are stroller wagons worth it?

Is a wagon stroller worth it is a really the million dollar — or rather, the $300 to $600 — question. And everyone is going to have a slightly different answer. For my money, for our family, the answer is definitely yes. Having a wagon stroller is an absolute asset. Sure, it’s bulky. But anything that makes my children less likely to fight and more likely to get out the door (in all weather, mind you) earns a place in my home. And yes, the Jeep stroller wagon takes up its share of space in my home. How exactly do I store the low-key behemoth? I’m so glad you asked.

How I store the Jeep wagon stroller

While my house is not quite as cluttered with kid-stuff as Julia Fox’s — and more power to her, I say — anything that sees regular usage has to live close to the front door. We don’t have a garage, or a big coat closet, or really any coat closet at all, so the wagon stroller lives under a window, not too far from the front door. Even folded up, it’s bigger than our UppaBaby Cruz stroller, but it’s worth it for how fast we can get out the door when magic strikes and the children are amenable.

Folding and unfolding the Jeep wagon stroller is really, really easy, which is yet another thing I love about it. You simply:

1. Pull the little strap right in the middle of the seating area of the wagon.
2. The wagon will collapse into itself as you pull up on that little strap. To get it to stay in the folded position, just be sure the little catch on the side of the wagon is hooked into place.

The accessories

Yes, this delightfully over-designed wagon stroller has a canopy, but it also has so much more than just a canopy. It’s borderline silly how many accessories this wagon stroller comes with, but I have to say I love its storage capacity. Oh, the storage! It’s what makes it obvious to me that a fellow parent — or maybe many fellow parents — was involved in the design of this thing.

In our home, it has been a bringer of sibling-harmony.

All of the storage accessories are removable, too, so you can decide what to utilize and when to leave the rest at home. If you’re heading out for a quick walk to the park, maybe all you need is the wagon. If you’re heading out for a big day, load up all of the various caddies and coolers and enjoy leaving any other diaper bags and purses at home. The Jeep wagon comes with:

• A UV-blocking canopy that functions as a sunshade or rain shield with zipped-in, pull-down shades to use as needed.
• Bug netting that is zipped into the canopy and can be rolled up and stashed away or Velcroed to the sides of the wagon.
• A small, insulated cooler (“holds over 16 cans” if that’s helpful to anyone) that can be hung on the side of the wagon, or slung over your shoulder.
• Not one but two multi-pocketed caddies — one hooked to the front and one hooked to the back of the wagon — that Delta kids call “parent organizers” and I call “mobile diaper bags.”
• A solid cup holder that’s a bit narrow but works for most beverages.

Pros & cons

Pros:

• It has seat belts. Before we got an official wagon stroller, we were using a sports wagon thing for occasional neighborhood walks. That was a bad idea and you shouldn’t do it, which we realized as soon as my youngest learned to stand up.
• My kids don’t fight about who gets to ride where.
• We can go farther and stay out longer as a family of four.
• It’s incredibly solid. I feel like my kids are really safe in this thing. The frame is strong, the weight is balanced, and the overall construction is just really high-quality. Even the handles — which are adjustable and can be easily folded away, too — feel really solid.
• According to Delta Kids, the wagon is compatible with Graco SnugRide Click Connect 30, 35, 40, Evenflo Nurture and Embrace, Britax B-Safe 35, Chicco KeyFit 30.
• It holds up to 110 pounds, or 55 pounds per seat.
• It’s nice to look at. A lot of kid gear is kind of ugly and I love the olive green color of the Jeep wagon.

Cons:

• It’s a little hard to steer for one person.
• At basically $400, it is not inexpensive.
• It’s too big to fit in the trunk of smaller cars.
• Figuring out where to store it is a conundrum for some of us.
• It only works for two kids. If you plan to have more than two kids, it may not be the right product for you.

The final verdict

Sure, it’s big and burly. Yes, storing it is an issue. But the Jeep stroller wagon is not just another hyped-but-useless piece of parent gear. In our home, it has been a bringer of sibling-harmony. Which, in turn, is a bringer of jollity for all. Although a wagon stroller is not a must for every family, I do think that if and when a second kid comes along, a wagon stroller is a great investment. I wish we’d saved what we spent on a “buddy board” attachment for our stroller when our second child was born, and invested that money in a great wagon stroller like this one from day one, especially considering it is compatible with infant car seats.

If you have somewhere you can stash it — folded up, the wagon is 38 inches long by 29 inches wide, and 25 inches high — the Jeep wagon stroller is more than worth it. It’s a little pricey, but you likely won’t need to buy much for your second child, so if you do have a little budget for baby number two, the stroller wagon is a good place to invest it. Or, consider asking for one from a generous family member, if you’re lucky enough to have one of those.

The TL;DR

If you’re expecting a second child, the Jeep wagon stroller may be a terrific investment for your growing family.

Harrison Ford's Kids: The Actor Is A Dedicated Dad Of 5

Harrison Ford is perhaps just as famous for being something of a tight-lipped curmudgeon as he is for his legendary movie career. If you’ve ever seen him in an interview, he is not someone who likes to answer questions about his life. Like, ever. So one could be forgiven if they didn’t know a whole heck of a lot about his private life. But now that Ford is suddenly everywhere again, with his Yellowstone spin-off 1923 and Apple TV+ series Shrinking with Jason Segal, people are naturally curious about the man himself, so here’s what you need to know about Ford’s family.

Harrison Ford’s oldest son Benjamin is 56 years old.

Harrison Ford, 80, was still an unknown actor when he and his first wife, illustrator Mary Marquardt, welcomed their son Benjamin in 1966. The Star Wars actor was himself just 25 years old at the time. Ben Ford has become a celebrity in his own right. A celebrity chef who wrote his own cookbook, Taming the Feast: Ben Ford's Field Guide to Adventurous Cooking, in 2014.

Ben is a dad himself.

Ben and his wife Emily are parents to two sons, Ethan and Waylon, and in 2019 Ben tweeted an appreciation post for all his dad had taught him. “I love this photo of both of us grilling it up. Metaphorically I think it speaks volumes. My dad or pops (newly adapted) He taught me resiliency as a young father and later helped give me the courage to pursue my dreams. Happy Father’s Day!”

His second son Willard was born in 1969.

Ford and his first wife Marquardt welcomed their second son Willard together in 1969. Much like his older brother Ben, Willard, now 53, went his own way when it comes to his career path. He is an entrepreneur who owns Strong Sports Gym in Los Angeles. Also like older brother Ben, he made dad Ford a grandfather with his two children, Eliel and Guiliana Ford.

Ford’s son Malcolm, 35, is a musician.

Harrison Ford and his second wife Melissa Mathison welcomed their first child together, son Malcolm, in 1987. Malcolm went to school in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and grew up to go into show business himself. As a musician. He and Jack Byrne, son of Ellen Barkin and Gabriel Byrne, formed the band The Dough Rollers, and they opened for big names like Bob Dylan before disbanding in 2016. “I didn't grow up with music in the house, like every kid had 'Blackbird' playing when they got home from school or something,” Malcolm told Interview magazine in 2013. “My mom would have Wagner on sometimes, but I got into punk music first. My first cassette was Green Jellÿ. That was the band I was really into.”

Georgia Ford, 32, is her father’s only daughter.

Ford and Mathison welcomed the actor’s only daughter Georgia in 1990. Georgia has acted in movies like American Milkshake in 2013, True Story in 2015, and the short film series I’m Being Me in 2020. She also reportedly struggled with epileptic seizures as a child, something Ford got emotional about at the NYU Langone Medical Center's Find a Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures (FACES) event in 2016. Ford talked about trying to find the right medication for his daughter and praised her perseverance. “I admire a lot of things about her. I admire her perseverance, her talent, her strength. She's my hero. I love her.”

He adopted 21-year-old son Liam.

When Harrison Ford adopted son Liam with his now-wife, Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart, he credited his older kids for guiding him as a dad. “My older children have taught me a lot,” Ford told The Independent in 2010. “My first child was born when I was 25; I reckon I'm a little better at [parenting] now.”

Ford has really taken this whole new lease on life thing seriously, even going skydiving with son Liam in 2019. He told Ellen DeGeneres the two enjoyed themselves and might go again, “but we won’t be telling his mother.”

So now we know the secret. Harrison Ford is really just a dad trying to keep that bond with his kids. Not such a curmudgeon after all.

Kendrick Lamar's Fiancée & Kids Are His Private Loves

Kendrick Lamar is celebrating a whopping eight nominations at the 2023 Grammy Awards — Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Melodic Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Album, and Best Music Video — making him the second most nominated artist of the year (and there’s no shame in being one award short of Beyoncé). Win or lose, Lamar can celebrate his nominations with his long-time partner and two children. The Pulitzer and multi-Grammy-award-winning artist is famously reserved about his private life, but there are a few facts we managed to find about this adorable family.

His fiancée has been in the picture for years

Turns out Whitney Alford and Lamar are high school sweethearts. The couple attended Centennial High School in Compton, California, but didn’t make their first public appearance together until 2014 at the 56th Grammy Awards. By the time they announced their engagement in 2015, the couple had been dating for 10 years.

“I’m loyal to the soil,” the 34-year-old told The Breakfast Club in a 2015 interview. “At the end of the day, you want to always, always have real people around you, period. Whether it’s male or female, and everybody that’s been around me, they’ve been around since day one… I always show respect when respect has been given, and people that have been by your side, you’re supposed to honor that.”

There’s some speculation that the two married in secret. But as far as public reports are concerned, they are still engaged. But whatever their official status, it’s one of those ‘what’s shown, does not need to be defined’ love matches. Lamar told Billboard, “I wouldn't even call her my girl. That's my best friend. I don't even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion — she's somebody I can tell my fears to.”

That’s a soul toucher there!

Lamar has a daughter named Uzi.

Lamar told The New York Times Style magazine two years prior to his daughter’s July 26, 2019 birth that he wanted a daughter.

“One day, I may have a little girl. And it’s a girl in particular — funny you said that,” he told The New York Times. “ She’s gonna grow up. She’s gonna be a child I adore, I’m gonna always love her, but she’s gonna reach that one point where she’s gonna start experiencing things. And she’s gonna say things or do things that you may not condone, but it’s the reality of it and you know she was always gonna get to that place. And it’s disturbing. But you have to accept it. You have to accept it and you have to have your own solutions to figure out how to handle the action and take action for it.”

But in characteristic Lamar fashion, in which he keeps his personal life largely out of the public eye, Uzi’s name — which is tattooed on his arm — was a mystery until 2022.

His son, Enoch, was revealed in 2022.

We don’t know exactly when Lamar and Alford welcomed their second child, but he had a pretty dramatic reveal: the cover of Lamar’s fifth studio album, 2022’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, which features the whole family.

The track “Worldwide Steppers” references not only listening to “Baby Shark” with his daughter, but that he would “kill for my son Enoch.”

We have Uzi and Enoch to thank for Lamar’s latest album.

In an interview with W, opened up about parenting, telling the magazine, “My children allowed me, in their development as human beings beginning to walk and talk, to remove my ego, to know that my children, too, will have their own independence. That allows me to understand the unconditional love on my end — will I allow them to be themselves? Will I allow them to journey off in the world and experience life for what they know of? That’s love, to me. And when I look at that, I try to apply it with how I express myself, how I look at my career, and how I meet other individuals. Am I allowing them to be themselves without any judgment? My children have taught me that.”

He also credited Uzi and Enoch in helping get this latest album out– his first in five years. “When I got to completion and I said, ‘I may or may not put this out; I’m not going to put this out; it’s way too much,’ I thought about my children. I thought about when they turn 21, or they’re older in life, and when I got grandchildren, or if I’m long gone — this can be a prerequisite of how to cope. That’s the beauty of it for me.”
