No one wants to surrender their kids to online social networks,… Read More

This family may be the key to your 2018 motivations.
Twitter user (@bluedizzr) thought the best way to alleviate her parents’ stress was putting on some music, dancing, and recording the whole thing.
The result might’ve helped, but it also calmed our own January woes and added a new resolution on our list.
The family danced to “Love Come Down” by Kid The Wiz, dressed in robes and not missing one single beat. They make loungewear look 10 times cooler.

As your 12-year-old cousin, none of your New York City experiences will ever top my life at Rineton Middle School

Family gatherings are my kingdoms to rule.
Everyone gets asked about their lives, but my stories are always the best. I’m 12 years old and in the 7th grade at Rineton Middle School, but that doesn’t mean I’m not way more badass then any of my older cousins at this table.
SEE ALSO: As a powerful male CEO, I didn’t believe in the gender pay gap. Then I got stuck in a well.
That’s right. I’m looking at you, Harry. You think you’re a big shot now because you moved out of Charlotte to New York City? The “Big Apple” or whatever? Well then I got bad news for you.
You’re over there spending a ton of money to sit and watch a stupid Broadway play, but who needs art when I’m too busy already getting detention for chewing gum in class. All the 6th graders think I’m so edgy now because even though I got detention, I still chew gum in class. Read more…

For Chris Cornell’s family, the holidays will be difficult this year — but as his wife Vicky showed Friday on Twitter, the former Audioslave and Soundgarden frontman is never far from their thoughts.
Vicky posted a video of Cornell with one of his three children that was for a school project “years ago.” She wrote “while the holidays will never be the same again without Chris, we will always remember his boundless love.”
Cornell died in May while on tour with Soundgarden in Detroit.
In the home video, Cornell and his son Chris talk about the family’s Christmas traditions like skiing and snowboarding and traveling to Rome, Greece, and Paris. “We spend a lot of time with our family,” Cornell says at the end. “That’s what we like to do.” Read more…
