Some of them have already provided smartphones for their preteens. Can you offer any advice about what I should do?” Joyce: This truly is a controversial issue.

“A home has to reflect your heart; otherwise you’re living in somebody else’s house.”

By Keri FoyDoes Home Goods call your name? Do you find yourself lost in the decor aisles at Target? Me, too.The newness and the prices are so tempting.

Her convictions on interior design made me think twice about how I decorate my home.“If you buy something at Ikea and think ‘this will do,’ then get home and put it next to something you find precious, it does not work,” says Ania, who adds that [...]
