15 Ways to Get Your Kids to Eat Better
Posted on April 30, 2021
A nutritionist (and mom of 7-year-old triplets!) gives tried-and-true tips for getting your kids to eat vegetables, drink milk, try new foods, and more.
Every single day, I deal with picky eaters both big and small. I’m the mother of 7-year-old triplets, all of whom have very different eating habits; I’m also a dietitian who teaches the professional athletes on the Chicago Bears and Chicago Bulls teams how to improve their diets. Although it’s tough to convince a towering basketball player or a 300-pound linebacker that junk food is bad for him, trying to get my kids to eat well can be even more of a challenge.
The 28 Prettiest Spring Nail Colors
Posted on April 30, 2021
It can feel like there are very few silver linings when it comes to the pandemic we’ve been enduring for over a year. Thankfully, those of us whose work situations and sense of responsibility facilitate staying home have found little ways to make social distancing as enjoyable as possible. For many, that has meant becoming accomplished nail-painters, and with that comes an appetite for lots of new nail polishes to keep things from getting boring.
SHOW SOME TEACHER APPRECIATION WITH 15 GIFT IDEAS THE TEACHER WILL LOVE
Posted on April 29, 2021
After the unprecedented school year they’ve had, our teachers deserve all our appreciation. But please — save the apples and cutesy knick-knacks. Instead, show some teacher appreciation by choosing one of these great gift ideas!
Here are some of our faves!
A STURDY TEACHER BAG
Teachers carry lots of things: books and papers that need to be graded, school supplies, and maybe even lunch. A sturdy teacher bag makes one of the best teacher gifts. And, lucky for you, Zulily has a great selection of handbags you might want to check out. When picking out this gift, just remember to choose a bag that’s roomy and sturdy with enough space to carry everything home at the end of the school day and then back to school the next morning.
A GOOD BOOK
Who doesn’t love a good book? Of course, that includes teachers. Is there a suspense thriller she might like to snuggle up to this summer? Or maybe your child’s teacher has recently taken up a new hobby? You might want to give him or her some books to help home in on a new hobby. Make sure to check out the wide variety of books available on the Zulily website and I’m sure you’ll find the perfect book for your child’s teacher to enjoy this upcoming summer break.
FUN COLLECTIBLES
Chances are that your child’s teacher has talked with the class about something they really love. Maybe your child’s teacher is a Star Wars fan or really loves Harry Potter books. Does he or she have some other passions like video gaming or collecting bobbleheads? They might really be into a particular music genre or music band. Do they have a favorite movie or TV show? Ask your child if their teacher has talked about something they really love. Zulily has an entire Pop Culture Shop filled with unique music, videogames, movies, and TV–themed merch that can spark some great teacher gift ideas. Check it out!
TECH & GADGETS
Now, more than ever, teachers are living a digital lifestyle and functional electronics accessories can make their lives a bit easier. Zulily offers a great selection of wearable tech and accessories to choose from. I personally love the wireless earbuds and colorful Apple Watch band selection. Teachers might also appreciate a 3-in-1 wireless charger to charge their iPhone, apple watch, and air pods, all at the same time. Or how about a USB charging station that can help charge all the devices in the classroom at once? Teachers are oftentimes using multiple devices at once, so a five-adapter charger cable might also make a great little gift. The key to choosing just the right tech or gadget for a teacher gift is to think of its practicality in terms of how it might make your favorite teacher’s life a little easier.
PLANTS OR SUCCULENTS
Teachers may enjoy the mood-brightening effects of keeping classroom plants, but they don’t often have the time to tend to them. Make this a unique and extra low–maintenance gift by giving teachers a special succulent instead of an ordinary house plant. You can shop succulents right here on Zulily.

MANAGING KIDS’ SCREEN TIME DURING COVID-19
Posted on April 29, 2021
A few years ago, I was waiting for my sick toddler to be seen at our pediatrician’s office. After three hours of waiting and attempting to entertain my toddler in every way possible, the doctor family came in. She took one look at my daughter, who was sitting on my lap watching videos on my phone, and snapped, “Don’t you know that’s the worst possible thing for her brain?”
