Your Daily MomScope for July 07, 2025
You can do this. Get the tyke to day care and yourself to work on time. Pick up the dry cleaning and the salad for dinner. And of course you'll remember that tax form must be filed today. Oh yes, it must.
What's taking you so long? Your kiddo may wonder why you're dawdling so much. Show them how at a slower pace they can enjoy the sunbeams, all the new buds and leaves, and watch the inchworm measure each one out.
You may have some serious thinking to do about a work-related matter. Someone needs to know your true motives, so spell them out. Later, it'll only take a few minutes in the park with your baby to reclaim your playful side.
Problems in life are inevitable, but that's no reason to get yourself all worked up today. Your baby and coworkers are much more understanding than you give them credit for. It will all prove a tempest in a teapot.
Watch your kiddo go after what they want today. Nothing stands between them and that extra cookie. Today you should pursue your own goals with that same determination. There's a strong chance you will succeed. What does your karmic journey hold? Discover your destiny with our Karma Report. ✨
It looks like all of your hard work is finally paying off. The kiddo shows great progress, be it in crawling or arithmetic or reading. Celebrate these wonderful successes and let them know how proud you are of their accomplishments.
It's out with the old, in with the new today. You can make excellent progress when weeding out the closets. But getting your kiddo to part with that ragged teddy bear or funky blankie might be quite another thing.
You are known for extreme determination or willpower, which others will discover today. You might take up the fight for something important, like a day care space at work. Choose your battle carefully and victory can be yours.
Your generous nature is fired up today. You may be tempted to get out the checkbook when a friend is in need or a charity comes calling. But a tough financial situation may be around the corner, so practice restraint.
This is more like it -- a high-energy day in which to get things off the ground. Perhaps literally, like a toy pickup blitz. But your brain is also working on putting that big plan into action. Make some phone calls.
Don't try to fight it. Today, your little one will have their ups and downs, tears and smiles, and that's perfectly all right. All you need to do is be there for them through it all -- especially for the down times.
It's good to be well-connected and today you will appreciate that. Perhaps someone will come to your assistance about that recipe you can't figure out. Or give you a tip about the kiddo. It's good to have such friends. What does the moon say about your emotional nature? Master your emotions with a Natal Moon Report!

What's Up With That? Why do some Columbus streetlights look blue or purple?
I'm curious about the blue streetlights on 23 near Lazelle Road. Are they a blue hue to keep people awake? To conserve energy? To hurt drivers' eyes? Total mystery to me. I have to admit, this week's "What's Up With That?" query truly had me stumped. After more than six years working in the news business in this market, I'm pretty familiar with most of the major goings-on in Columbus, Ohio, even if I sometimes have to tap a reporter on the shoulder to help me answer a question. But while I live just a few miles from the stretch referenced by this week's submitter, I was woefully unfamiliar with the infamous blue lights on State Route 23. I turned first to the Ohio Department of Transportation, assuming they managed the lighting along 23. But I was redirected to the Columbus Division of Power (a regular guest in this series), as that's in fact controlled by the city. (As reporter Jordan Laird told you while I was on glorious vacation, nothing is simple when it comes to Columbus boundaries.) Luckily, the city was able to get me a prompt response. Here's what I learned. As I said, I've not seen the blue streetlights myself. And while I am committed to this feature and its success, given it is summer and the sun doesn't go down until about an hour after my daughter has gone to bed, I didn't venture out to get a look. But George Zonders, public relations specialist for Columbus Public Utilities, knew exactly what our reader was talking about, and assured me it was not a tribute to Prince (or the artist formerly known as same). "This is an issue our Division of Power and other streetlight utilities across the country have encountered for several years now, and is specific to light-emitting diode (LED) lights. These lights have a natural light blue or purple hue; during the manufacturing process they are covered with a phosphor coating, which adjusts the color temperature to make the blue/purple light appear white. Over time, that coating can degrade and reveal the original color, which is most often reported as light purple. "Streetlight manufacturers have since addressed this problem, but because LED lights last so long (we are in the process of upgrading all of our lights to LED) our Division of Power occasionally still receives calls about purple lights around the city, and we expect that to continue. We began receiving reports about this location and another nearby (off South Old State Road) within the past few days, and we are preparing to replace those lights with new ones." It's not just a Columbus phenomenon. The same purple-ish hued streetlights have appeared nationwide, according to USA TODAY. If you, like our reader, find your eyes bothered by discolored streetlights, you need not suffer in silence. Zonders asked anyone who notices one (or another streetlight issue) to report it via 311: dial 311 or 614-645-3111, email 311@ or go online to I really loved answering this week's question because I learned something, about my own neck of the woods no less. I'm hoping to add some more queries to my roster that will similarly edify me, and our readers. Do you have a question you want answered? Email me at ekennedy@ or you can send your questions to newsroom@ ideally with "What's Up With That?" in the subject line. Thank you to the many of you who have already submitted questions; we're hard at work getting answers to them, and we look forward to hearing from more of you!

Want to race a duck for a cause? Shelby event is back July 26
SHELBY — Hudson's Duck Drop returns to Shelby on July 26. This third annual fundraiser will support the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. According to an announcement, the event will feature the release of over 1,000 rubber ducks from the Main Street Bridge into the Black Fork River. The ducks will race to the finish line at the Parrot Head Pub patio. Each duck can be adopted for a $10 donation, with proceeds benefiting families in need. The event honors the memory of Hudson Curren, who faced significant health challenges from a young age. Hudson was born prematurely on July 24, 2018, and later diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease known as Alpers. This condition led to many hospital stays, including a medically induced coma. During these times, the Ronald McDonald House provided crucial support to Hudson's family, allowing them to stay close to their son at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Hudson passed away shortly after his first birthday on Aug. 31, 2019. The first Hudson's Duck Drop took place in July 2023, surpassing its original goal of 200 ducks by dropping 580 ducks and raising $6,000 for the charity. In 2024, the event featured 870 ducks and raised $10,750. For 2025, organizers hope to exceed 1,000 ducks. The event will take place from 5-9 p.m. July 26 at the Parrot Head Pub, 16 Mohican St., Shelby. Attendees can enjoy live music, a food truck, games for children and a silent auction featuring items donated by local businesses. While adopting a duck is encouraged, it is not required to attend the free event. Participants who adopt ducks will have the chance to win cash and prizes if their ducks are among the first three to cross the finish line or if they are the last duck to finish. Ducks can be adopted online or in person at the Parrot Head Pub. Those who adopt do not need to be present to win. The silent auction will feature a variety of items, which can be previewed online before the event. However, all bids must be made in person on the day of the Duck Drop. Hudson's Duck Drop shirts and stickers will be available for purchase in advance at but will not be sold at the event. Sponsors of Hudson's Duck Drop 2025 include Parrot Head Pub, Derr's Painting, Neeley Dirt Works, Hockenberry Trucking & Excavating, ArcelorMittal, Spitzer Motors of Mansfield and Brian R. Gates and Michelle Gates State Farm Insurance Agency. The Parrot Head Pub is committed to maintaining the area along the river and has implemented beautification projects and flood mitigation efforts. Volunteers will ensure that all ducks are numbered and accounted for at the finish line, with a net in place to prevent any ducks from being left behind.
