We hope everyone had a great weekend celebrating the dads in your lives — and now the best of summer is just beginning!

For many families, that means travel and relaxation. We’ve got tips for navigating a solo trip with kids (spoiler: it’s possible, and maybe even fun!). Plus, a playlist of songs by Black musical icons that celebrate parenthood and a roundup of children’s books that honor Juneteenth, perfect for keeping the whole fam entertained wherever the season takes you.

Finally, if you find yourself dealing with stress due to the loss of a job, we’ve got advice and resources to help you through.
