Game Night for Grown-Ups: The Easiest Way to Make a Gathering More Memorable

Some traditions never go out of style, and game night is one of them. Long before streaming services, group chats, and endless scrolling, people gathered around a table for cards, conversation, and friendly competition. It still works for the same reason it always did: it brings people together without making things complicated.
A great game night gives guests something to do beyond standing around with a drink and repeating the same small talk. It breaks the ice, keeps the energy moving, and helps people relax. Better yet, it creates moments people remember. A clever guess, a ridiculous answer, a surprising comeback, or a laugh that catches the whole table off guard can

The 90-year-old estate where famed fitness guru Richard Simmons lived for four decades before his death is returning to the market with a new asking price—and a "highly strategic" sales strategy that sees the property touted as a "development opportunity" and a chance to "create a world-class" dwelling.

Simmons, who shot to fame in the 1970s after launching a career as a fitness expert and weight loss guru, died in July 2024, days after he celebrated his 76th birthday.

For a long time, multigenerational living had a reputation problem. It was the option families turned to when something had gone wrong - a job loss, a divorce, a health crisis. Moving back in with your parents, or having your parents move in with you, meant something hadn't worked out.

That story has changed pretty significantly.

Today, families are choosing this arrangement on purpose — not as a fallback, but as a deliberate decision to share costs, stay connected, and build something that actually works for how their lives are structured right now. According to NAR, 14% of buyers recently purchased a multigenerational home, and the year before that hit 17%. [1] These aren't people making the best of a bad situation. They're rethinking what
