By many objective measures, 2025 was a good year. Investment returns were solid. I published another bestseller in Millionaire Milestones. My kids are healthy, happy, and continuing to grow in loving environments. On paper, I should feel satisfied. But the reality is different. The downside of writing consistently, responding to hundreds of questions, managing the family finances and rental properties, and spending an enormous amount of time with my kids is that there isn’t much time left over for me. Since 2009, I’ve been waking up at around 5 AM to write before work, and since 2017, to write before…

Like children, it’s impossible to pick a favorite bean. Chickpeas, however, certainly rank high on our list. They star in some of our favorite dishes: falafel, chana masala, pasta e ceci, and lest we forget, classic hummus (and ricotta-beet hummus and curried sweet potato hummus). You can even use aquafaba, the liquid in a can of chickpeas, as a vegan substitute for egg whites. Fun!Among the earliest crops cultivated worldwide, some evidence suggests chickpeas were first farmed in the Fertile Crescent thousands of years ago. Today, the versatile legume grows all over the world and goes by many names: garbanzo…

French artist Antonin Fourneau’s interactive exhibit known as Waterlight Graffiti recalls a combination of two classic childhood toys: the Etch A Sketch and Lite Brite. However, to draw on Fourneau’s installation, a wall made of thousands of LED lights, there are no dials to turn or bulbs to plug in — all you need is water. In 2011, Fourneau went to China where he discovered dishu, a form of Chinese street art that uses water to paint calligraphy. This, and the cities’ LED billboards that “burned into his…

In those first few seconds of a fall, it’s hard to see anything but the wreckage. However, I’ve learned that the true secret to overcoming setbacks isn’t just about getting back on your feet as fast as possible; it’s about the grace you find in the “rerouting.” While I’ve written before about building the internal muscle of resilience, sometimes life gives us a…

What are you reading these days? Last night, I stayed up late reading The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai; and over Christmas, my 11-year-old niece informed me that I was talking too much about A Marriage at Sea, which is proof that I loved that, too. Please tell me your list. For an easy dinner, I’ve been eyeing this crispy halloumi with tomatoes and white beans (NYTimes gift link). Doesn’t it look good? Bonus points for anything you can dip a baguette into. I’m working on a just-for-fun side project — more on that later, if you’re…

Our museum guide, Sophie van de Ven, recounted the fascinating history of Delft blue ceramics with each hand-painted piece a unique work of art. She explained that it was one of the first products to fuse East and West, uniting cultures through design. Its legacy continues today, and it remains appreciated around the world. “At Royal Delft, tradition is alive in every brushstroke. Unlike most modern producers, the manufacturer still creates each piece entirely by hand, transforming earthenware into works of art rich in detail and depth,” van de Ven explains.We also learn about the secret of Delft blue ceramics:…

Step 1: Unplug the kettle. Safety comes first. Before descaling, unplug an electric kettle or turn off the heating element under a stovetop model. When the kettle is cool to the touch, discard any leftover liquid inside, remove the lid, and rinse the interior with cold water. Step 2: Fill the kettle with vinegar and water. Photo: Tom Fenenga for Bob Vila When it comes to how to clean an electric kettle inside, start by filling the kettle halfway with a solution of equal parts cold water and white vinegar, which is a natural descaling agent. Citric acid can also…

Ever wondered what’s lurking beneath your beautiful bathroom tiles? Have you noticed a musty smell that just won’t shift, or perhaps spotted some suspicious staining on your ceiling below? If you’re a Melbourne homeowner, bathroom waterproofing should be right at the top of your home maintenance checklist. Here’s the thing – water damage is sneaky. It doesn’t announce itself with fanfare. Instead, it quietly seeps through gaps and cracks, causing structural damage that can cost thousands to repair. In Melbourne’s variable climate, where humidity levels fluctuate throughout the year, proper waterproofing isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s absolutely essential for protecting…
