In a new photo from a family holiday party, Rani looks adorable as she waits to meet Santa.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s son Wyatt Russell (who is Hudson’s half brother) and his wife Meredith Hagner hosted a family holiday party at their Los Angeles home. Hagner shared several photos from the event, one of which captioned Hudson’s daughter Rani and her dad Danny Fujikawa about to meet Santa. Rani is full of holiday cheer in a red ruffled dress with ballerinas, ornaments, and rocking horses, paired with red glittery tights and a green velvet bow in her hair. Her dad stands behind her as she smiles up at an elf sitting next to Santa. She is so excited to meet St. Nick!

“❤️snippets from the merriest night ❤️,” Hagner captioned the post, which also included photos of her baby bump, and a gorgeous, elaborate holiday dinner. Hagner is currently pregnant with baby number 2 with Wyatt, and they are also parents to son Buddy, 2.

Earlier this month, Hudson celebrated a different holiday with Rani and her son Bingham, 12, who she shares with ex Matt Bellamy. (She’s also mom to Ryder, 19, with ex Chris Robinson.) Her youngest kids helped her celebrate the first day of Hanukkah by lighting the menorah.

“Connecting to love, light, miracles and peace tonight on the first day of Hanukkah ✨” she captioned the post. “Happy Hanukkah everyone 🫶.”

This week, Hudson shared a sweet selfie of her fiancé Fujikawa and their daughter. “🎄❤️,” she simply captioned the heartwarming picture, where Rani is dressed in a red sweater with a white bow in her hair and Fujikawa is wearing a green sweater with a winter cap.

In another post, she shared photos of her home all decorated for the holidays and wrote about her favorite traditions. “Around our home lately 🎄 I love the holidays so much and throughout the years have collected trees, Santa’s, music boxes, snow villages, ornaments, and more,” the Almost Famous star wrote. “We bake, cook, sing, share laughs and create light to shine everywhere, we wish for love and peace.” It sounds amazing, right?

Hudson continued, “I am a lover of this time over year and soak every minute of it up. I guess that is a good metaphor for how I feel about life and celebrating our time here. It’s as fleeting as the holidays. Here today, gone tomorrow. So I choose to make it sweet and cozy. Everyday. And of course every Holiday. Wishing sweet and cozy to everyone ❤️💫🫶💫❤️ PS. More decorations and cozy to come 😉.”

Kim Kardashian’s Elves Make a Huge Hot Cocoa Bath for Her Kids & We've Never Seen Her House Messier https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921981/kim-kardashian-elves-hot-cocoa-bath/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921981/kim-kardashian-elves-hot-cocoa-bath/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:49:55 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2921981 When an Elf on the Shelf comes to visit, they leave behind a trail of Christmas chaos — and celebrities’ elves are apparently no different! Kim Kardashian shared a new video of the impressive hot cocoa bath her scout elves made in her bathroom, and it’s the messiest we’ve ever seen her usually-immaculate home.

“Hot cocoa,” Kardashian captioned a video on the TikTok account she shares with her eldest daughter North West, 10. In the clip, Kardashian’s massive bathtub is filled with hot cocoa and marshmallows, with several elves swimming inside. On the side of the tub, more elves have been playing with peppermint, chocolate, and candy, including spelling out “ELF,” drawing a smiley face in sprinkles, and designing a candy heart. It’s so cute — and a little anxiety-inducing if you prefer your home clean and orderly!

They elves even left a note to Kardashian’s four kids, North, Saint, 8, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West. It read: “North, Saint, Chi, Psalm, we couldn’t find cups so we found the biggest place to make our hot chocolate! It’s in Mommy’s bathtub. Please help us cleanup! Love, Frostee the Snow Elf!” So cute! (Maybe the kids will help clean up the mess if she’s lucky!)

The SKIMS founder often posts about her mischievous elves. Last year, she revealed that North helps her with the elaborate set ups. “North got creative w the elves this year,” Kardashian wrote. “They will wake up so happy!” The elves were into a variety of activities, including one dangling over the stove in a firefighter costume, one playing with makeup, one hiding in a mug of candy canes, and one sitting next to candy.

North seems to have a little too much fun with the elves. Back in 2018, she brought in an elf grave. “Saint touched his Elf on a Shelf so North just brought this in,” Kardashian captioned a drawing of a photo that showed an elf lying on top of a drawing of a grave. Yikes, North!  

It seems like going all out is Kardashian’s holiday theme, because her decorations are over-the-top and amazing too. In North’s room alone, there are seven perfectly decorated trees with presents underneath, stockings, and a whole snack bar set up on her desk.

One thing’s for sure: it would be impossible to avoid the holiday spirit in this home!

Recent Baby Product Recalls Every Parent and Caregiver Should Be Aware Of https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2872379/baby-product-recalls/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2872379/baby-product-recalls/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:30:03 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2872379 Each year, there’s an overwhelming number of baby product recalls — which means items are removed from the shelves when the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and various companies deem them somehow unsafe. This could be for any number of reasons. The product may have a piece that’s a choking hazard, it may be known to break, or it may not meet certain federal safety standards.

What you may not know is that a manufacturer has to agree to a recall in order for it to happen. The CPSC can issue product warnings at any stage, but they can’t announce a recall until the brand agrees that the product is unsafe and that they should stop making it.

It’s important to note that just because a baby product recall happens doesn’t mean that all that company’s products are unsafe, or that the brand as a whole is untrustworthy. It doesn’t even mean all the versions of that product are unsafe. Sometimes it’s just that whichever products were produced in a certain time frame can be faulty. Even brands we love can create a product that doesn’t work out — it just happens!

A recall also doesn’t mean there have been reports of injuries or fatalities (thankfully!). Instead, they are done out of an abundance of caution. And for that, we tip our hats to companies and the CPSC who step in early.

Unfortunately, not all recalled products make headlines. And so we’ve collected all the baby products that have recently been recalled so parents and caregivers can easily access them in one place. Of course, consumers can also always check cpsc.gov/recalls for the latest information on product recalls across categories and for every age group.

Before shopping, parents and caregivers can (and should) always check saferproducts.gov, where consumers can report any safety concerns about specific products. Because even though that car seat you’ve been eyeing hasn’t been recalled, people may have had their own issues. (Psst! You can also file your own reports!)

Below are the latest baby product recalls (newest first), including strollers, baby monitors, high chairs, stuffed animals, and more.

A Reddit Dad & His Meddlesome Mom Demanded a Paternity Test — & Each Development Is Astounding https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2921772/reddit-aita-dad-meddlesome-mom-paternity-test/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2921772/reddit-aita-dad-meddlesome-mom-paternity-test/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:20:17 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2921772 There are so many kinds and categories of family drama on Reddit. There are situations that are deserving of endless eye rolls. The ones that make us tilt our heads and furrow our brows in confusion because how? There are the ones that make our blood boil. And then there are the ones that make us stop in our tracks and clench our fists as our jaws hit the floor because we forgot just how vile and ignorant people can be.

Today, we found some astounding family drama on the “AITAH” subreddit — the sister subreddit to the classic “Am I The A—hole? (AITA)” — that most definitely fell into that last category. A 27-year-old woman posted asking for advice and heard back from more than 20.5K Redditors (and counting!) who were just as shocked and infuriated as we were.

This woman who originally posted — or the “OP,” as Redditors say — said she’s been married to her husband for two years and gave birth to their daughter five weeks ago. And now she’s been put in a situation where she feels the need to ask the internet, “AITA for telling my husband ‘I told you so’ and laughing at me when we got the paternity test results?”

Blake Lively's 'Maximalist' Selfie With Her Mom Is Like Seeing a Glimpse of the Future https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2921894/blake-lively-maximalist-selfie-with-mom/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/slideshow/2921894/blake-lively-maximalist-selfie-with-mom/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 19:10:20 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?post_type=pmc-gallery&p=2921894 Blake Lively is twinning with her mom Elaine Lively in a new photo, and now we know exactly what the “Gossip Girl” alum will look like as a grandma.

In a new “maximalist” selfie with her mom, Blake and Elaine look identical in white sweaters and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. They both have long blonde hair, which is curled and parted down the middle, blue eyes, and big smiles. Blake wears several sparkling Tiffany bracelets on her arm, which is wrapped around her mom’s neck in a tight hug, and Elaine has on multiple strands of necklaces in the cute photo.

 

“I would like to replace the term ‘hoarder’ in favor of ‘maximalist,’” the A Simple Favor star wrote on Instagram. “It makes me feel better. Wonder where I get it from…”

Kaley Cuoco’s Latest Photos of Daughter Tildy Prove She’s Already a Huge Animal Lover https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921803/kaley-cuoco-daughter-tildy-animal-lover-photos/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921803/kaley-cuoco-daughter-tildy-animal-lover-photos/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 17:40:33 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2921803 Babies who are best friends with dogs are the cutest, ever (sorry, even cute cat videos can’t compare!). Kaley Cuoco knew we needed some holiday cheer this week, and she just shared adorable photos of her baby Matilda “Tildy,” 8 months, all dressed up with her dog, Ruby.

“Happy Holidays from Tildy, Ruby, and the entire @ohnorman family 🐕🐶 ,” Cuoco wrote in a joint post with her petcare brand Oh Norman!, which donates a portion of sales to animal rescue organizations.

“We hope your holidays are easier than snapping a photo of a dog in a sweater and an 8 month old in her holiday finest 🙃,” it continued.

Tildy wears a red-and-pink polka dot pajama set with Santa Claus on the front, as she smiles next to presents under the Christmas tree. She smiles a cute, toothy grin as her dog Ruby stands next to her, wearing her own festive sweater. The next photo is a blurry shot, as Tildy tries to pet Ruby and the dog can’t sit still. In the last photo, Ruby wags her tail and tries to escape the shot, as Tildy looks up at the camera with a what did I do? expression on her angelic face. These two are so cute, even the Grinch wouldn’t be able to stop his heart from melting at the site of them.

“How cute is she!” one person commented. (It’s unclear if they meant Tildy or Ruby, so we’ll just assume they meant both!)

Another wrote, “Tildy is the cutest Baby I ever saw! ☺️”

The Flight Attendant star, who shares Tildy with partner Tom Pelphrey, has been introducing Tildy to her animals — including her horses! — since she was born. In one photo with Tildy meeting goats in May, Cuoco wrote, “All the littles are very interested in the human little haha.”

In a July photo on Instagram, Cuoco shared that Tildy loves all her family’s dogs. “🐾 Tildy and our dogs were instant besties, especially her and Opal, who is pretty much Tildy’s shadow these days!” she wrote.

“[Tildy] is obsessed [with our four dogs]. What a beautiful thing to raise a kid — she’s only six months — surrounded by animals 24/7,” The Big Bang Theory star told Entertainment Tonight in October. “She’s in her walker now. She doesn’t walk, she doesn’t even crawl, but she miraculously is in her walker, like, running around the house, so we laugh. We’re like, ‘Look out, everybody. You’re gonna lose a tail.’”

She added, “But they love her, they kiss her. I mean, from week two, they were kissing her on the mouth. I was like, ‘Is this OK?’ And our pediatrician was like, ‘It’s totally fine.’ They’re kind of being raised together and it’s so beautiful and very natural, you know?”

Tildy is already a huge animal lover just liker her famous mama, and we love seeing it!

These celeb families wouldn’t be complete without their furry friends.

Jana Kramer's Holiday Movie Night with Her Kids Looks Refreshingly Low-Key https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921736/jana-kramer-holiday-movie-night-with-kids/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921736/jana-kramer-holiday-movie-night-with-kids/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:54:12 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2921736 Winter break is the perfect time to soak up the snuggles with your kids, and Jana Kramer nailed it this week. She shared photos of her holiday movie night with her eldest children Jolie, 7, and Jace, 5, and it looks like the low-key celebration we’d have in our own home!

“Rudolph, gingerbread houses, and s’mores. Perfect holiday night. 🌲♥️” the A Cowboy Christmas Romance star wrote on Instagram. In her first photo, Kramer is cuddled up on the couch with one arm around her son and her daughter resting on her shoulder as they watch Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It’s so casual, we love it!

They also decorated gingerbread houses, and Kramer shared pictures of their gooey, gum-dropped creations as they kids smile in front of the Christmas tree. (In a different picture, their Elf on the Shelf sat on a crushed plate of another gingerbread house, looking adorable.)

Kramer has a bowl of S’mores ingredients ready to make, including graham crackers, chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows, which they roasted in their fireplace. It’s like a real-life Christmas movie — and the type of memories kids will cherish forever.

“Your kids are always smiling and look so happy 😍. Beautiful children! ❤️” someone commented on the post.

“You have a beautiful family. Enjoy the Christmas season,” another person commented.

Kramer shares Jolie and Jace with ex-husband Mike Caussin. She is also mom to baby Roman, 1 month, with fiancé Allan Russell.

Earlier this month, the One Tree Hill alum shared several photos of her family enjoying the holiday season.

“December part 1 with my favorite people 🌲,” she captioned a post, which included photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, smiles in front of the tree, letters to Santa, and cuddles with baby Roman.

Last year, Kramer told SheKnows that the pressures of the holiday season were challenging, especially after her split with Caussin.

“Look, it’s exhausting, especially being a single mama,” she told us. “But here’s the deal, I wouldn’t want it any other way,” she says. “I love our special times together and though it’s not how I wanted it to look, it’s still so special cause it’s us three and I love my family.”

Kourtney Kardashian Has an Important Message That All Postpartum Moms Should Take to Heart https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921640/kourtney-kardashian-message-postpartum-moms/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921640/kourtney-kardashian-message-postpartum-moms/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:12:08 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2921640 After being pretty hush-hush in her first seven weeks postpartum, Kourtney Kardashian is sending out a bat signal to all the postpartum mamas out there. The Poosh founder welcomed a baby boy, Rocky Thirteen, with husband Travis Barker in November, and she told followers yesterday that she went back to the gym for the first time.

Kardashian posted a video on her Instagram story of her walking on a treadmill with the speed set at 3, the incline set at 12, and a timer set for 30 minutes.

“Taking it easy,” she said. “No rush no pressure mamas, your body is healing, it’s not a race.”

Amen, Kourt! This should be something all postpartum moms let sink in. There is no rush to start moving. They’re still recovering and need to listen to their bodies — not to whatever the peanut gallery thinks they should be doing. A slow and steady 30-minute walk is *chef’s kiss.* And if Kardashian turned down the speed and ended things early, that’s incredibly admirable (because, again, listen to your body!). Easing into things is the name of the [non-competitive] game.

Rocky is Kardashian and Barker’s first child together and the seventh child in their blended family.

Kardashian shares kids Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9 with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Barker shares Landon, 20 and Alabama, 17 with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, as well as his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya whom Moakler shares with a previous partner.

An insider told Entertainment Tonight that the couple is “over the moon” and “could not be more elated” to share a child.

“Kourtney and Travis already had an unbreakable bond, but having a baby together has brought them even closer and made them fall even more in love,” they said. “This experience has solidified their feelings that they were destined to be together.”

“Travis loves to shower Kourtney with gifts, but is also there for her on a deep level,” they continued. “He is an incredibly dedicated father and partner. They’re so excited to experience this new chapter together and unite their families even more.”

With Rocky’s first Christmas quickly approaching, Kardashian is making sure to include him in the family traditions. In a video on her Instagram Story, the Lemme founder showed off her elf on the shelf display.

In it, three elves are sliding down a snowy hill. They are presumably for Mason, Penelope, and Reign, while a fourth elf is wrapped in a tinsel blanket, presumably for their baby brother who isn’t old enough for a sleigh ride. Sorry to the Blink-182 drummer’s kids who are a bit too old for Elf on the Shelf! (See photos HERE.)

We’re wishing the family of nine the merriest of Christmases and wishing Kardashian a speedy recovery. Not because it’s a “race,” but because — like all postpartum mamas — she deserves to feel good.

‘Life After Birth’ is a celebration of the postpartum experience — and through breathtaking photos and touching personal stories from parents, it sheds light on the entire spectrum of what that actually entails.

Donna Kelce Gets Sentimental About Baking With Granddaughter Wyatt — & She Gets To Do More Than Just the Famous Kelce Cookies https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921632/donna-kelce-baking-granddaughter-wyatt-kelce/ https://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/2921632/donna-kelce-baking-granddaughter-wyatt-kelce/#respond Thu, 21 Dec 2023 15:12:58 +0000 https://www.sheknows.com/?p=2921632 Donna Kelce — mom of NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce — is known for always having chocolate chip cookies for her boys. She even had some ready for them to enjoy before they faced off in the 2023 Super Bowl. The top-notch baker recently revealed to People that making her infamous cookies is not a one-woman show. Lately, her oldest granddaughter has been lending a hand.

“Baking is a wonderful activity to do with family and friends,” she said when partnering with Aramark Sports + Entertainment, “and now I have a little helper in [Jason’s daughter] Wyatt.”

“I look forward to passing on my tips and tricks to the girls so that they can eventually pass these traditions on to their own families one day,” she continued.

Donna is the proud grandma of three girls. Along with 4-year-old Wyatt, there’s 2-year-old Elliotte and 8-month-old Bennett who is about to celebrate her first Christmas. (Which mom Kylie Kelce is very excited about.)

SheKnows’ Parenting Editor Rita Templeton spoke to Donna ahead of the Super Bowl — which was aptly dubbed the Kelce Bowl — about her cookies, and she let us in on the same “secrets” she must whisper in Wyatt’s ear. The trick to making “Uncle Travvy’s” favorite cookies is to melt the butter, use milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, and refrigerate the dough overnight before baking.

We bet that when it comes to Wyatt being in the kitchen, Donna has a similar philosophy to the one she had when her sons were growing up. If they wanted to try a new sport, they had to commit to playing for the full season.

“Once it’s over, if you don’t like that team, or if you don’t like that sport, you don’t have to play anymore,” she tells SheKnows. “But your team depends on you. You have to show up on time, every day, whether you want to or not.”

If you don’t like making cookies, you don’t have to make them a second time. But your fellow baker depends on you!

According to Kylie, Wyatt has the distinct honor of not only helping with the cookies, but with “Mama Kelce’s dinner rolls” too. The 4-year-old got to make the all-important side for Thanksgiving and reportedly thinks she is the “queen of the rolls.” An adorable title she most definitely deserves.

“So, I think for our Christmas meal, she will end up helping my mother-in-law again because they absolutely nailed it,” the mom of three told People. “They were outstanding, as usual.”

And that totally checks out. Because if there’s one word we can confidently say describes the Kelce family — rolls and otherwise — it’s “outstanding.”

These Hollywood grandparents aren’t baking cookies or playing Bingo — they’re in their prime of life.
