Some of the best family memories happen right after dinner, when somebody pulls out a game and the phones go down. Everybody already knows Monopoly and Sorry, so this is a list of newer board games and party games most families have never tried, the ones we pull out again and again at family gatherings, on Labor Day, and through the fall and Christmas holidays. I grouped them so you can find the right one fast: big-group games for the whole room, family game night picks, quick games to play between courses, cooperative team games so nobody ends up in a feud, and a few two-player games for after the kids are down. They are all easy to find at Target and Walmart. If one lands on your table this season, tell me how it went. More at asknatefreeman.com.

As an astronomy educator and outreach contributor, I’ve spent years helping beginners choose their first telescope with confidence. One thing I’ve learned is simple: the best telescope is the one you’re actually going to use. You don’t want something heavy, complicated, or frustrating — because that kind of telescope ends up sitting in a closet for years. This beginner‑friendly 2026 guide highlights the telescopes that truly work for first‑time stargazers. These models are simple, easy to set up, intuitive to navigate, and reliable enough to grow with you as you learn the night sky. If you’re new to astronomy and want a clear, trustworthy starting point, these are the telescopes I consistently recommend based on real‑world performance, simplicity, and long‑term enjoyment.

Hi my fellow crocheters! I just thought I would create a helpful list for all the beginners out there. Here are some recs that helped me in my crochet journey that I think could help you too ✨️
I'm an avid “storm watcher” and have memories of standing with my father on the deck looking at the skies and talking about the clouds. A “bucket list” item for me would be to go on a Tornado Tour. During Storm season it is not uncommon for me to have 3 to 4 devices going with all different chasers and my attention glued to them. These are my favorite storm chasers that I follow both out on the road and behind the radar that have helped to educate me and excite my passion over the years. Stay Weather Aware!

I’m qualified to give these recs because I’ve painted tons of custom banners for clients, from parties to classrooms and special events. Over the years, I’ve tested all kinds of tools, paints, and surfaces to figure out what actually works for clean lines, vibrant colors, and professional results. My recommendations come from real hands-on experience, so you can trust they’ll make your banner projects easier, faster, and more polished.
Incredible shows that I have either seen or want to see. So many incredible shows and so little time. Thank you Mum and Dad for introducing me to the love of theatre.
