The Sweetest Mother's Day Gift!

The man who was a first celebrity crush for thousands of girls has died, his publicist confirmed today.

According to a statement released Monday by Perry’s rep, Arnold Robinson: “Perry was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends. The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time.”

Most recently, Perry had been starring as Fred Andrews on the CW series Riverdale. While 90210 is slated for an upcoming reboot featuring much of the original cast, Perry had reportedly not signed on for the project.

Reactions to the actor’s death started pouring in as news broke across social media:

Nooooo ???? What awful news. Part of my childhood just died; I loved Dylan McKay like every girl my age. Luke Perry was an underrated actor who seemed like a genuinely nice person. RIP. https://t.co/3i06lvCzUt

Mom Warns about Toxic Shock Syndrome after Lake Trip Turns Scary

In: News, Teen, Tween

As women, we’re warned about the dangers of toxic shock syndrome, or TSS, from the time we’re teenagers. I clearly remember learning how important it is to change tampons regularly and not to wear them for extended periods. It wasn’t until recently, though, that I learned of the potential dangers of tampon use while swimming, especially in non-chlorinated water. One mother’s post on Facebook went viral after her teenage daughter contracted toxic shock syndrome from a tampon she wore while swimming in the Lake of the Ozarks. Ashley Anthony, a surgical tech in Jacksonville, IL., detailed the entire ordeal online...

father and daughter cuddled up on the couch watching football

It’s hard for any girl dad to imagine a time when his daughter will stop wanting to spend time with him. But seemingly overnight, she can go from a devoted daddy’s girl to a prickly, detached teen who is much more interested in what’s happening on her phone than hanging out with her old man. Suddenly it can feel like there is no common ground between them, and shared interests are few and far between. But this NFL season has been different for football-loving dads and their Swiftie daughters. A heartwarming commercial from Cetaphil with the tagline, “A New Sports...

It’s Tuesday and I cannot stop thinking about Tracy Chapman singing “Fast Car” at the Grammys on Sunday night. I think it has taken me so long to say something because I’m honestly still reeling. I was completely unprepared for the wave of emotions that hit me as she stood on that stage in jeans and a simple black shirt and sang that haunting melody, as beautifully as she did 36 years ago when it was released. It’s a song that simultaneously lifts your soul and breaks your heart and I was wrecked. Everyone has a memory of “Fast Car.”...

Another Piece of My Childhood Died with Bob Barker

“Mom, why are you crying?” my daughter asked me. “Because Bob Barker died,” I said through tears. I didn’t know Bob. You probably didn’t either. But he showed up on our TV every weekday morning in the summer. As long as the antennas were set just so to get reception, of course. We only had three channels. Four on a good day, and the Price is Right was a staple in our home. So Bob and I became good friends.
