Children/Kids

During Spring Break, one thing that I did manage to accomplish was crossing a few movies off of my watch list.  One of those happened to be the documentary "Bully".  If you haven’t seen this film, I would definitely recommend it.

If you have kids who love dinosaurs then you definitely want to make plans to addend Discover the Dinosaurs.  E loves dinosaurs, and that was evident this weekend when we drove to the dinosaur museum in Tucumcari, NM.  Then I get into the office this morning and find out more dinosaurs.  It's going to be great.

In the last couple of weeks, a particular viral Facebook post has been bugging me. If you're on Facebook, I'm sure it's crossed your newsfeed. You might've even shared it. It's the one that's an open letter to the mom sitting at the park playing on her iPhone while her kids do all sorts of cute things. It's sweet and sappy and really gives the mom a good finger wagging for missing out on her daugh

Last week I started the Happy Plate series in celebration of National Nutrition Month. The theme for this year is “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” which encourages the development of a healthful eating plan that incorporates individual food choices and preferences.

I have heard some interesting punishments from parents who are trying to get through to their kids.  Some parents make their kids stand on a busy intersection holding a sign saying what they did wrong.  Others, make their kids do manual labor.  However, in a society where spanking doesn't occur much anymore, this Colorado mother thought she would try something different.

This didn’t stop the rest of the family from enjoying their break though, so this week I find myself home alone in an uncomfortably quiet house.

Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend and ‘The Girls Next Door’ reality star, Holly Madison, gave birth to a baby girl -- and her tasty placenta -- last week. The happy and possibly delirious mother, along with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, chose to name their first-born child Rainbow, even though neither of them even existed in the 1960s.

Noah Brocklebank thought no one in the world cared about him, but he soon discovered just the opposite.

Once again Daddy had to leave the nest and fly out of town for the week. Leaving his two girls to the house and dogs.

You know what I'm gonna miss most someday? All the conversations in the car with my kiddos. When it's just me and one of them, one-on-one, I learn a lot about them... who they are, what they like, what they DON'T like.

All of the nutrition recommendations we hear in the media combined with all of the fancy claims plastered all over food labels is simply overwhelming. Throw that confusion on top of the task of providing nourishment to your children in a form they will agree to eat and this whole eating thing can get downright exhausting. To help you keep it simple and get it all done I want to share my “Happy Pla
