Parents, are you missing rocking out at live shows? Is your kiddo the next Brandi Carlile or Sir-Mix-a-Lot? We have just the community spot for you where music matters, right alongside a roundup of surprising apple recipes to get your family through this windy fall (or your tween’s band practice).

Plus, we’ve rounded up the must-have toys every kid will be begging for this year, giving you a head start on the holiday frenzy.

Welcome to November, families.
