If you’re feeling left out of those frankfurter roasts (or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts), what better way to step up your style game than with green belly stars, identical to the ones worn by Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner.

Forget your Androids and iPhones– unlike the old, bulkier models, the 2016 Whisper-Ma is lightweight and flexible.  Clarifying attachments minimize the sound of callers having smallish bees up their noses.  Use it to tell a long story about environmental destruction to a little boy or just whisper an Adele-style “Hello,” into the taped-up receiver.

If you know someone expecting a child this holiday season (or who has a young child that causes them to do a lot of loud sighing and/or crying late at night while standing in front of the refrigerator) I’ve written a book called Welcome to the Club: 100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming about some of the parenting milestones they’ve got ahead of them. (Yes, they’ll take a first step but also get ready for your child to roll off the bed at some point.)  You can buy it on AmazonTarget, Indiebound or Barnes and Noble.  

If you want to follow me on Facebook or Twitter, obviously you can do either of those things as well.  Hope thanksgiving is productive and not too much of an emotional disaster!
