It makes a mean pickle and, sipped straight up, it’s sure to make you pucker. But apple cider vinegar, ACV for short, also can make hair shine and skin glow. Unpasteurized ACV is rich in probiotic bacteria (often referenced on the bottle as the “mother”). And even pasteurized ACV is rich in prebiotic pectin. So consuming a little of either can support healthy digestive flora. That in turn supports beneficial bacteria that live on the surface of the skin, which can reduce breakouts and lessen redness, dryness, and irritation. When applied topically, the acid in ACV reinforces a healthy skin pH. ACV’s natural astringent properties also soothe inflammation and exfoliate dead skin cells, making it a popular skincare ingredient. If you’re using apple cider vinegar from your pantry as a…

Every year, when I spy the first fresh figs at my local market, I get a bit giddy. Fresh figs bear little resemblance to the sticky fig paste I recall from the Fig Newtons of my childhood. The plump, dumpling-shape fruits have skins ranging from soft yellow and pale green to inky purple. Their luscious, rosy flesh is like nothing else, with a floral edge and a honeyed sweetness that’s heavenly with creamy cheeses, peppery greens, or a fiery kiss from the grill. And unlike so many other fruits shipped from afar these days, figs are truly fleeting: In most parts of the country, you’ll only find a good variety of fresh figs during a narrow window of the year—right about now and into the fall. They do not ripen…

REWARDING TIMELINESS “I use a sort of scavenger hunt for my daughter who just cannot get herself downstairs on time for breakfast. Each day she gets to the table on time, she gets a clue. It usually builds up to a travel destination we’ll set out to see, and it keeps her on track.” —Gabriella Ribeiro, @theexplorateur HOOKY OR HOLIDAY? “When my oldest was in kindergarten, we were accidentally responsible for his first absence! My husband and I had a holiday off from work, so we assumed it was a holiday for our son as well…until we got the robocall from the school saying our son was absent. We felt so guilty for having our son play hooky so early in his school career!” —Ramona Cruz-Peters, @fabeverydayblog L Is…

Five Reasons to Start Eating More Plants: 1 Lower your risk of heart disease. Some studies show that vegetarian diets reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 40 percent. Even if you don’t follow a vegetarian diet, just eating more produce is beneficial. A Harvard study found that people who eat about 5 cups of produce a day lower their risk of heart disease by nearly 30 percent. 2 Prevent and manage diabetes. Population studies show vegetarians have a lower incidence of diabetes than nonvegetarians. Just as important, intervention studies show that vegetarian and vegan diets help control and reduce blood sugar—more than diets using traditional carbohydrate-counting methods. 3 Protect against cancer. Eating lots of produce while also eating less red meat can reduce the risk for…

“About seven years ago, I came across pictures of baby pygmy goats, and I just had to have one! I ended up with three: Mary, Nugget, and Snowball. They’ve since expanded into a small herd consisting of 15 pet goats. From the beginning, Mary was so sweet. She picked up on things quickly. Within weeks, she knew her name, would eat out of my hand, and even learned a few tricks. As time went by, we developed an incredible bond; she would climb all over me and try to eat my clothes. I was initially concerned about her doing well with my other goats because she’s hornless, but she has maintained her status as head of the herd. Mary is eight years old now and is thoroughly enjoying her…

Be Creative Within Guidelines You can often find a fashionable compromise. If hats are against the dress code, compromise with a moderately funky hairstyle, such as a faux hawk or fun braids. If uniforms are required, kids often can still express themselves with bows, leggings, and buttons or keychains on their backpacks. Consult your school’s uniform guidelines to be sure. If nail polish is frowned on, suggest painting your kiddos’ toenails instead. Choose Your Battles Don’t make an argument out of every creative outfit choice. If it won’t hurt them or others, isn’t against school policy, and really doesn’t matter, let it go. A pajama top with jeans? Why not! Mismatched tops and bottoms? That won’t hurt anyone. On the flip side, a cape or other large costume accessory…
