Children/Kids

So, this conversation happened this week: Oldest Daughter: "I don't like chicken nuggets." Me: "Yes, you do." Oldest Daughter: "No, I don't." Me: "Yes, you do. You've never once said you don't like them" Oldest Daughter: "Yes, I have! I only like the other kind."

A mother in Englewood, CA was kicked out of a pool for breastfeeding.  Do you think this park had a right to kick a mother out for breastfeeding her child.

It seems like I've written this exact line 105 times. Boys are a whole 'nother animal. After I wrote just two short weeks ago about raising a husband, it seems I've got a long road to go before my little man resembles a gentleman, or from the way things are going this week, even a human. My sweet little boy has a new afternoon teacher at his daycare center and, from what I can glean, he's really b

Being teachers allows my husband and me the opportunity to stay home with our kids during the summer and the holidays. We've often commented on how blessed we are that we get to spend so much time together as a family. It truly is wonderful. Well, except for one thing... The mess.

So Summer is here and the kids are out of school.  Before to long they are going to be whining about being bored.  Well when that boredom rolls around here are some fun activities you and the kids can do to pass the time.

The other day I saw a mother (about my age) peacefully milling about a local department store, her three children (about my kids' ages) obediently in tow like little ducklings.

When it comes to our children and our children's care we aren't always aware of what goes on when we leave them with their daycare, nanny, or sitter when we go to work.  We have to trust that we have made a good choice.  However, its stories like these that make me question the integrity of people.  It puts a fear in my heart and for any parent that has to leave their child in the care of another.

"Sesame Street" is a wonderful show for kids.  It is a show that parents watched as children and now their children watch the show.  "Sesame Street" is not only for fun entertainment it also teaches our kids about life.  It takes on some touch subjects that little ones have to deal with but don't exactly know how or why.  Subjects like death, divorce and hunger.  "Sesame S

This is it. This is what the internet has been moving towards ever since it was created. It's a person being pooped on ... by a baby.

I've said this before, lots and lots of times, but having a boy has taught me so much about men. Turns out, it's not their fault. They really were born the way they are. And men really are just big little boys. Or little boys are really just miniature men. Either way...

You know we all say that we would do anything for our kids.  In fact, I think I have actually used the term, "I would give my right kidney to my son if he needed it."  As responsible parents, I think we all would.  It's our child.  This morning I ran across a story about a mom who did just that, donated a kidney to save her daughter.
