The wide-eyed recognition, the coo of understanding, the hoot of triumph as your baby makes a new connection - it’s amazing to observe our children as they discover the world around them.

I’ve realized that I’ll be lucky if my daughter leaves the house with her clothes on the right way out let alone whether she’ll be prepared enough for what has become quite a challenging Kindergarten curriculum. It’s both refreshing and scary to know that our kids are attacking more difficult skills more than we ever [...]

While I don’t look forward to diaper changes - and based on her behavior during the process, my toddler doesn’t like them much either - the diaper stage is fairly predictable.

After reading this last series of reviews for Huggies Overnites, I have to wonder if the Huggies execs are blushing with pleasure - or perhaps they’re issuing restraining orders against our bloggers who have shamelessly confessed that they “may be in love with a diaper.”
Relax. These parents are just thrilled to pieces that they’re no [...]

Parents have enough to keep track of these days, so anything to help make life easier would be a welcome addition to any household. And with the computer being the central gathering place for many families, it makes sense to find a service that allows parents to create calendars, schedules, and even grocery lists all [...]

After you get over the shock of your child being old enough to get on the bus all on his/her own, you realize that you might not have prepared them as best as you could.
Ah the pressures of parenting. Do they ever end?
