How An Actual Tiger Mother Raises Her Cubs

It’s been nearly 6 years since Amy Chua published Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, a polemic that fixes touchy-feely, let-special-snowflakes-be-special Western parenting norms with a bone chilling stare and says: “Wimps.” The book’s espousing of the strict discipline favored by a certain kind of Asian parent is as divisive as it is provocative, particularly because things like hundreds of hours of forced piano practice, the denial of goofing off, and warden-like observation of study hours actually leads to more successful adults.

Miley Cyrus Reveals Why Her Engagement Ring Is MIA

We're sure the engagement ring that Liam Hemsworth bought for Miley Cyrus cost the actor a pretty penny, so let's hope he purchased insurance for the rock, since it already needed a repair. That's why Cyrus has been spotted sans her ring. A-ha! So there it is -- some info on the couple's status. Cyrus is ringless because it's in the shop, not because she and her Aussie hunk have bailed on their relationship or have become uncoupled.

What To Know About Smart Home Wiring

A few years ago, a client for whom I was doing a remodel asked me to replace one of her living room outlets with a smart one. The process was as easy as installing a conventional outlet.

Justin Bieber's Hottest Instagram Photos While Beliebers have found him irresistible for years, Justin Bieber has grown into a super sexy 22-year-old. And despite all the tattoos and occasional odd style choice, the "Love Yourself" singer makes sure to stay fit, especially since he's never shy to drop his Calvins for a skinny dip at the lake.

The Best Diaper Bag For Parents Is a Camera Bag. Trust Us.

We’ve tested many, many diaper bags. And there are a lot of great choices. But, lately, we’re convinced that the best diaper bags aren’t currently marketed to parents; rather, they’re marketed to photographers because the best diaper bag is a camera bag. Think about it.

The historic — and personal — reasons for commemorating a certain day get crowded out by ads and retail pressures before we even have a chance to reflect on what it is we’re commemorating.
