children

My friends and I had a conversation the other day.  How old is to old to be trick-or-treating.  For me personally anyone over 12-years old shouldn't be trick-or-treating.

As part of her noble initiative to fight childhood obesity, first lady Michelle Obama gathered 450 kids on the White House’s South Lawn on Tuesday in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. Yes, there’s a record for that.

Saturday’s Michael Jackson tribute concert in Wales boasted an impressive line-up of stars paying homage to the King of Pop. Guests included Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Ne-Yo, but perhaps none were as well-received as the late singer’s children.

If you are like me you had an Easy-Bake Oven growing up.  I'm pretty sure just about every little girl since 1963 has had an Easy-Bake Oven.  Yes, the designs have changed over the years but one thing remained the same,  the 100-watt light bulb that was required to cook the food.

When Chinese police pulled over a regular-sized eight-seat minivan, they were shocked to find a whopping 64 children stuffed inside of it.

Citing evidence such as birthday cards that contained no money and a lack of care packages when they were away at college, Steven Miner, 23, and Kathryn Miner, 20, tried to sue the woman who brought them into the world for being “negligent” and causing them “emotional distress.”

If you are a parent then you have probably experienced the point when your child gets so tired they fight sleep at all costs.  This little boy was doing just that, but I think got the best of him, but he got the best of his ice cream cone.

‘Charlie Bit My Finger,’ the little-home-video-that-could, has racked up more than 366 million views on YouTube since going viral in 2007. Four years later, the clip has been purchased by baby food giant Gerber to help promote the company’s new line of finger foods (how appropriate!).

The National Geographic Channel introduces a new show to it's airwaves tomorrow evening at 8pm central.  It is called Pint-Sized Preachers and as you might have guessed it is little kids preaching.  Some of these little kids are in preschool.  Yes it is cute, but I'm not sure about this one.

In an effort to help stave off childhood obesity, McDonald’s announced Monday that its iconic Happy Meals are getting a healthy tune-up. Traditionally, the meals included a burger or chicken nuggets, fries and a soda. But starting this fall, a fruit or vegetable will also be in the shiny box.

It’s okay for a parent and a toddler to sleep in the same bed, according to a new study. Bed sharing has always been a topic of disagreement among parenting experts:  some endorse the practice, while others say it’s a bad idea.

Last night around 9:30pm,  I had finally gotten Ethan in bed and calmed down. I sat down and grabbed my book and was about to open it when I heard the music.  Yes, the music, "Pop Goes the Weasel," then a few seconds later my son comes running down the hallway, "Momma, the ice cream man."  Ugh!  Seriously!
