If you've never had a little one (or it's been a while), it can be difficult to know the best ways to celebrate our friends, family members, colleagues or neighbors when they welcome a new baby. Here are a few ideas to show them some love, whether they're welcoming their first or fourth.

Wedding season is on the horizon, and if your big day is coming up in 2024 (or 2025!), it's never too soon to start thinking about it.

If you'd have asked me six years ago about NFL draft picks, what makes a strong defensive line, why you should (or shouldn't go for it on fourth down), the nuances of an onside kick, or what exactly makes Barry Sanders the best running back of all time, the answer likely wouldn't have been nearly as informed as it would be today. That's because over the years, I've grown fond of football thanks to my boyfriend's interest and near genius-level knowledge of the sport, obscure rulings and all. While it started as his hobby, it's now something we enjoy together (even though our respective teams are rivals).

You're back on the dating scene and seeing someone new. They're seemingly everything you've been looking for, immediately saying all the right things, surprising you with gifts, sharing their deepest secrets and emotions with you, are eager to commit, etc. You think to yourself, "Wow, I've never had someone open up so quickly and trust me with these feelings or treat me so well!"

Friends are part of our lives from the earliest days. From learning to ride bikes to being in one another's weddings, our memories are filled with friendship stories. But being an adult can be busy and, instead of meeting for drinks and laughing the nights away, spending time with others can be challenging. Juggling careers, family responsibilities and personal aspirations is no joke!
