Taylor Swift is a role model for many young girls, and Emily Blunt’s daughter happens to be one of them. Oppenheimer star recalled a recent meeting with the Grammy-winning singer and revealed that Swift helped boost her daughter’s confidence.

Blunt has been married to the actor John Krasinski since 2010, and they went on to star together in A Quite Place, inspired by Krasinski’s fears associated with modern parenthood. They are proud parents of two daughters, Hazel and Violet, born in 2014 and 2016.

Having celebrity parents has its perks, and one of them was meeting Taylor Swift. Blunt opened up about their recent run-in during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show and said she felt like Hazel was going to faint after Swift complimented her hair.

“My oldest kid had just cut all of her hair off, this very short haircut that she was very self-conscious about. And Taylor Swift goes, ‘God, look at you. Just like this 60s Beatnik cool kid. I just, I love your style.’ It was the best thing anyone’s done for my child,” said Blunt.

Taylor Swift wasn’t Blunt’s only A-list friend that her kids were impressed with. They also had a lot of questions about Ryan Gosling, who currently stars alongside Blunt in the action comedy The Fall Guy.

Many celebrity parents rely on nannies to help them out with their kids, but not Julia Fox. The Uncut Gems actress opened up about her parenting journey in a recent interview and revealed she’s doing everything on her own because she doesn’t have a nanny for her son.

Fox welcomed her son Valentino in 2021 with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev. They’ve been inseparable ever since, and Valentino even attended several fashion shows by his mother’s side, and they even wore matching denim looks during a recent Diesel show.

Fox recently discussed her parenting style with InStyle and addressed the misconception that she doesn’t have a “mothering” personality. She admitted that her schedule has been insane since she became a mom because she doesn’t have a nanny and does everything from drop-offs and pickups to play dates and lunches on her own.

Despite her best attempts to do it all and take care of Valentino on her own, Fox admitted her family often gives her a helping hand.

“Obviously, I’m lucky that my family is here in New York, all the grandparents, the aunts, the uncles. So if I have to go do something, it’s very easy for me to call upon somebody. They’re all very eager to take care of him because he’s just the sweetest, most fun little ray of light,” she told InStyle.

Paris Hilton and Sia recently joined forces for the song “Fame Won’t Love You”, and its lyrics were strongly impacted by their experience with motherhood. The duo opened up about the meaning of this song in a recent interview and explained how motherhood impacted their relationship with fame.

“Fame won’t love you like a mother, like a father should” is one of the most impactful lines from this song, set to be featured on Sia’s new album Reasonable Woman. Hilton celebrated the release of their collaboration by sharing a visualizer that shows her spending time with her husband Carter Reum and their two children, a son Phoenix and a daughter London.

Hilton discussed the meaning behind this song with Billboard alongside Sia and explained how her priorities changed when she became a mom.

“I put so much of my self-worth and happiness on things like fame or beauty and things that in the long run don’t matter as much as family. Now, with becoming a wife and a mother with my son and my daughter, I know what’s important in life and what really makes me feel happy,” said Hilton.

Sia also said that motherhood changed her relationship with fame, telling Billboard it’s better than getting an award, singing with someone she’s admired for years, or having people clap at her singing and laugh at her jokes.

Shopping for baby essentials doesn’t come cheap, and a baby stroller will be one of the most expensive items on your list. If you’re looking for a way to find a budget-friendly stroller that’s suitable for your child, these five tips will get you there.

Do Your Research

A baby stroller is one of the most important items you’re going to buy for your baby, so put time and effort into doing some research, reading reviews, and asking other parents for advice to find a stroller that suits your needs.

Spending Cap

After doing your research and familiarizing yourself with stroller prices, try to figure out how much you’re willing to spend on a stroller and try to stick to your budget.

Sales & Promotions

You’ll have a couple of months to prepare yourself for your baby’s arrival, so use this time to your advantage and keep a close eye on sales and promotions to find discounts on baby products.

Outlet Stores

Shopping at outlet stores is also an option because you’ll get to find brand-new models from the last season at a lower price.

Second-Hand Stroller

If your budget is extremely limited, buying a gently used second-hand stroller is also an option. In case you decide to go down this road, carefully inspect the stroller to make sure it’s in good condition and meets the current safety standards.

Embarking on a road trip with your family has its ups and downs, but there are ways to make it easier. Your next family road trip will go smoothly if you keep these five useful tips and tricks in mind.

Perfect Destination

The destination you pick can make or break your road trip, and it’s best to choose a spot that’s not too far away from home if you’re new to traveling with your whole family.

Early Bird

Hitting the road early is a must, especially if you’re embarking on a longer trip. In addition to beating the crowds, chances are your kids will take a nap in the car to make up for lost sleep.

Road Trip Entertainment

Your kids will need a lot of distractions to make it through the road trip without asking you “Are we there yet?” every 10 minutes. Always make sure to pack video and audio entertainment to keep them distracted, and come up with some fun games you can play along the way.

Fun Stops

Stops are a crucial part of every road trip, and chances are your kids will ask for a lot of them. Let them have a say in when you’re going to take a break but don’t let them completely take the wheel because it will take forever to reach the destination.

Road Trip Snacks

If you don’t want to rely on fast food joints and overpriced gas station food, make sure to pack nutritious and healthy snacks for your kids before you hit the road.

Airbnbs are a pretty popular type of accommodation with travelers from all walks of life, but should you book one when exploring the world with your family? Airbnbs come with a long list of pros and cons, and here are a few things worth keeping in mind before staying at one during your family trip.

House Rules

Each Airbnb has its own set of rules that you’ll have to follow, and they won’t always meet your family’s needs and expectations. Check-in and check-out times will be especially tricky because you’ll have to coordinate with the host.

Food Dilemma

Airbnbs usually come with a kitchen that you can use to prepare your own food, but they don’t offer breakfast or any other meals. If you don’t want to worry about making food during your trip, this type of accommodation may not be the right fit.

Plagued with Uncertainty

If you don’t like dealing with uncertainty during your travels, Airbnbs are best avoided. Hotels are generally considered safer and more secure because you’ll have someone on the premises to help you out whenever a problem occurs.

Lack of Amenities

In addition to not offering on-site dining, Airbnbs often lack many other hotel amenities that most families enjoy – starting with daily housekeeping and room service.

Bad grades sometimes happen to even the best of kids, but it’s not the end of the world if your child gets one. Parents often tend to overreact after their kid comes home with a low grade, making one of these five common mistakes that are best avoided.

Getting Angry

Your kid is already feeling pretty distraught after getting a low grade and coming home with bad news, so try not to react with anger and frustration when they share the news.

Harsh Punishment

Parents often punish their kids for bad grades, but the fear of punishment is not a good source of long-term motivation, and it won’t inspire your kids to fall in love with learning.  

Placing Blame

Instead of trying to find someone to blame for the low grade, whether it’s your child or their teacher, try to focus on finding the solution.

Comparison Game

After your child informs you they’ve got a bad grade, avoid comparing them to their peers or siblings because you’ll end up putting them under even more pressure this way.

No Support

Don’t always expect your child to fix the low grade on their own. Try to calmly communicate with them and get to the root of the problem, offering them encouragement and support with the subjects that are giving them trouble.

Kids tend to outgrow their clothes pretty quickly, but shoes are an even bigger problem. They come with a higher price tag than clothing, yet your kids will outgrow them in a few months. There are several strategies you can use to deal with this common issue.

Growing Room

One of the best ways to deal with kids’ rapid growth is to buy them shoes in a bigger size, but tread lightly when doing this. You should leave no more than a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the end of the shoes so they won’t negatively impact your child’s stability and comfort.

Adjustable Features

You should also consider investing in shoes with adjustable features while your child is still rapidly growing. Velcro straps or adjustable laces are great at offering a customizable fit to children, so consider investing in shoes that have them instead of constantly buying new ones.

Dealing With Old Shoes

Old shoes will quickly pile up when your child is in the midst of a growth spurt, and most of them will only be gently worn out. There are several ways to deal with this problem, from donating and selling old shoes to swapping them with other parents and passing down shoes from older siblings to younger ones if you have multiple children.

After five years of dating, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson are ready for the next big milestone in their relationship. Waterhouse showed off her baby bump during a recent performance in Mexico, revealing she’s expecting her first child with The Batman actor.

Waterhouse recently hit the stage at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico in a glittery pink minidress and a feathery coat. She jokingly told the audience, “I’m extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on. I’m not sure if it’s working,” before revealing her growing baby bump.

Waterhouse and Pattinson are yet to share an official pregnancy announcement, but it’s likely we won’t get one at all. They’ve notoriously private since they started dating in 2018, and only made a few red carpet appearances by each other’s side, most notably at this year’s Met Gala.

They rarely discussed their relationship with the media, but that’s not a shocker given Pattinson’s statement from his old interview with The Sunday Times from 2019.

“If you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better,” said Pattinson at the time.

Most celebrities struggle to keep their children out of the spotlight, but it seems Anne Hathaway is actually succeeding. The Oscar-winning actress recently opened up about her decision to separate her personal and professional life and keep her two sons out of the public eye.

Hathaway tied the knot with Adam Shulman in 2012, and they’re proud parents of two sons, Jack, 3, and Jonathan, 7. The couple is rarely photographed with their children, and you won’t find their photos on Hathaway’s social media accounts—and there’s a reason why she’s so hush-hush about her family life.

Hathaway opened up about her need for privacy in a recent interview with NET-A-PORTER and said she wants her children to build their own paths.

“It’s something I feel is not just essential for my health – I’m on a team, it’s my family, and it’s not just about me. My family has needs, and one of the needs of children is that they need to be able to define their own lives. It doesn’t even occur to me to link the two up,” she explained.

Hathaway also previously told Sirius XM’s The Jess Cagle Show that having children changed the way she approaches work. The Princess Diaries star explained that she became “a bit choosier because something really has to be so excellent to spend time away from them.”

If you don’t like dealing with uncertainty during your travels, Airbnbs are best avoided. Hotels are generally considered safer and more secure because you’ll have someone on the premises to help you out whenever a problem occurs.

Lack of Amenities

In addition to not offering on-site dining, Airbnbs often lack many other hotel amenities that most families enjoy – starting with daily housekeeping and room service.

Bad grades sometimes happen to even the best of kids, but it’s not the end of the world if your child gets one. Parents often tend to overreact after their kid comes home with a low grade, making one of these five common mistakes that are best avoided.

Getting Angry

Your kid is already feeling pretty distraught after getting a low grade and coming home with bad news, so try not to react with anger and frustration when they share the news.

Harsh Punishment

Parents often punish their kids for bad grades, but the fear of punishment is not a good source of long-term motivation, and it won’t inspire your kids to fall in love with learning.  

Placing Blame

Instead of trying to find someone to blame for the low grade, whether it’s your child or their teacher, try to focus on finding the solution.

Comparison Game

After your child informs you they’ve got a bad grade, avoid comparing them to their peers or siblings because you’ll end up putting them under even more pressure this way.

No Support

Don’t always expect your child to fix the low grade on their own. Try to calmly communicate with them and get to the root of the problem, offering them encouragement and support with the subjects that are giving them trouble.

Kids tend to outgrow their clothes pretty quickly, but shoes are an even bigger problem. They come with a higher price tag than clothing, yet your kids will outgrow them in a few months. There are several strategies you can use to deal with this common issue.

Growing Room

One of the best ways to deal with kids’ rapid growth is to buy them shoes in a bigger size, but tread lightly when doing this. You should leave no more than a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the end of the shoes so they won’t negatively impact your child’s stability and comfort.

Adjustable Features

You should also consider investing in shoes with adjustable features while your child is still rapidly growing. Velcro straps or adjustable laces are great at offering a customizable fit to children, so consider investing in shoes that have them instead of constantly buying new ones.

Dealing With Old Shoes

Old shoes will quickly pile up when your child is in the midst of a growth spurt, and most of them will only be gently worn out. There are several ways to deal with this problem, from donating and selling old shoes to swapping them with other parents and passing down shoes from older siblings to younger ones if you have multiple children.

After five years of dating, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson are ready for the next big milestone in their relationship. Waterhouse showed off her baby bump during a recent performance in Mexico, revealing she’s expecting her first child with The Batman actor.

Waterhouse recently hit the stage at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico in a glittery pink minidress and a feathery coat. She jokingly told the audience, “I’m extra sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on. I’m not sure if it’s working,” before revealing her growing baby bump.

Waterhouse and Pattinson are yet to share an official pregnancy announcement, but it’s likely we won’t get one at all. They’ve notoriously private since they started dating in 2018, and only made a few red carpet appearances by each other’s side, most notably at this year’s Met Gala.

They rarely discussed their relationship with the media, but that’s not a shocker given Pattinson’s statement from his old interview with The Sunday Times from 2019.

“If you let people in, it devalues what love is. If a stranger on the street asked you about your relationship, you’d think it extremely rude. If you put up a wall it ends up better,” said Pattinson at the time.

Most celebrities struggle to keep their children out of the spotlight, but it seems Anne Hathaway is actually succeeding. The Oscar-winning actress recently opened up about her decision to separate her personal and professional life and keep her two sons out of the public eye.

Hathaway tied the knot with Adam Shulman in 2012, and they’re proud parents of two sons, Jack, 3, and Jonathan, 7. The couple is rarely photographed with their children, and you won’t find their photos on Hathaway’s social media accounts—and there’s a reason why she’s so hush-hush about her family life.

Hathaway opened up about her need for privacy in a recent interview with NET-A-PORTER and said she wants her children to build their own paths.

“It’s something I feel is not just essential for my health – I’m on a team, it’s my family, and it’s not just about me. My family has needs, and one of the needs of children is that they need to be able to define their own lives. It doesn’t even occur to me to link the two up,” she explained.

Hathaway also previously told Sirius XM’s The Jess Cagle Show that having children changed the way she approaches work. The Princess Diaries star explained that she became “a bit choosier because something really has to be so excellent to spend time away from them.”
