Halloween can be scary -- and of course, that's the whole idea, to a point. But particularly when the kids are very small, it can be frightening not only for them, but for parents as well.

While it won't be time to prep for spring for another six months, fall brings new beginning of its own: the school year begins, cool weather takes over, and a new quarter launches at work.

Social media and the internet in general has been in an uproar over a $15 t-shirt which promotes, at best and worst, questionable moral standards.

School starts in Bismarck-Mandan on August 27, which means it's time for the flurry of preparatory activity and anxiety that inevitably comes with the beginning of each new grade.

I used to be that girl who could eat anything, and eat often, and never gain an ounce.

The rainy season isn't just around the corner; it is upon us. And while Bismarck's isn't exactly of Seattle or London proportions (and yay for that!), that doesn't mean we don't want to stay dry and stylish when it is coming down. But just like Seattle doesn't give a thought to snow gear until the one day a year they're buried in it, many here in Bismarck probably do not have an umbrella within re
