Guest post by Irene Lots of mothers like some advice on how to manage their teenage kids. During adolescence, children often want independence, but at the same time they need your attention. If they can’t get that from their parents, they turn to their friends who might end up giving them the wrong advice. Like:...
I love funny videos about parenthood. They provide some easy relief! Enjoy this one. I did!
I moved all my blogs, of which there are many, to WordPress some time last October. What can I say? I was driven to do it! I'd been reading about how WordPress is way more professional than Blogger and how all the popular bloggers were doing it. Then my husband decided to stay home for...

Yes there is such a thing as decorative children's toys! In fact, there are some children's toys that actually make me salivate with longing! They look so cute, they're decorative. Like these.
