Normally, I try to inject a bit of humor into my posts here. That’s my “style”, I suppose…but on this particular subject there is very little to make light of. If there is someone in your life that is hurting your, or scaring you by doing what you consider to be “stalking” […]
Children are just accidents waiting to happen (and no, not the accident that happen in the backseat then 9 months later, poof!). They’re active, curious, and very eager to explore the world around them that they tend to be in harm’s way. Unless, of course, you always keep an eye on them or to accident-proof […]
Child: Daddy! Daddy! Look what I drew!
Dad: *Thinks hard what it is* That’s a nice drawing of a horse!
Child: That’s not a horse, Daddy! That’s you!
Ever been in that tough spot? Well, I just could imagine the difficulty when your child’s mood rides on how well. You just can’t blame the kid for not being […]
Reuters has this report yesterday - Stay-at-home mother’s work worth $138,095 a year. Given today’s current salary levels, mommies are earning even more than top-level corporate honchos. Now would you look at that. A six-figure salary!

Speech skills are best developed early on since children have the best capabilities for language learning in their formative years. Some say great speakers are born. Well, part of this is true since.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and chances are (guys…) that you haven’t given it much thought just yet. Oh know, you’re probably just planning on grabbing some flowers, or letting the kids give her stuff they made at school. Heck, you might not have thought about it at all yet…but […]
Most of the things we use today, we’ve learned years ago. Sure, there are so many discussions on nature and nurture but I think it’s best to have each one reinforce the other positively.
One of these things is spending. While we don’t want to bring up misers, we also don’t want them to grow up […]

Well, sex and aside conception aside, I’m focusing on the word mom here. It’s more of having a child and dealing with it. It’s not just getting knocked-up and having a swelling belly. Parenthood is perhaps the greatest endeavor a person would have. Being a mommy can make you excited and nervous at the same […]

Graying hair, wrinkles, aching limbs, children moving out of the house, retirement… There’s a lot of things that go along with getting old. But you don’t have to face it like doomsday.

Hey, Easter’s just upon us and it’s always been tradition for the bunnies and the eggs. And we all wonder why. Anyway, it’d really take a long hack at history and anthropology but the summary is that painted eggs hold a lot of symbolism that they have been around even before Easter and Christianity. It […]
What others say is the real test for parents is to handle more than one child. For those of us who grew up with siblings, we all know the ruckus that siblings can create. Whether it’s about cootie problems or jealousy over who got which during Christmas, there’s bound to be some friction between them.
It’s […]
Parents are becoming more and more busy nowadays with both mommy and daddy having a lot of things to do. When you need to leave your kid at home, you have to have someone to trust. That’s where the babysitter comes in.
However, movies and TV shows may have made us paranoid about how […]
