Alcohol Poisoning From Hand Sanitizer: The Clean Well Alternative

We here at the Parent Bloggers Network do our best to keep posted on issues that we feel are important to parents. Let’s face it. We’re all tired and for many of us, the last thing we want to do is sit around watching the news or searching the web for articles that are pertinent [...]

Light Iris: Here’s What They’re Saying So Far

There’s no doubt that the internet has helped parents become more informed. Perhaps it’s even made us better parents. But for what it might offer us in information, it’s certainly made life more complicated. Instead of calling your doctor for his or her opinion, you search Google for your kid’s symptoms, only to come up [...]

Let’s Hear it for the New Dads!

If you’ve ever seen that look on the face of a new dad, then you know exactly why the folks at Dr. Moz came up with The Goodfather — a CD Rom that’s full of hilarious and informative commentary about parenting and fatherhood.
It’s a favorite around these parts, and that’s saying something.
We’re happy to be [...]

Support the troops, and their families too

I’ve been asked before how I feel about the statement, “I support the troops, but not the war.”  And my usual reply has been, “It’s a lot better than the way our troops were treated during the Vietnam War.”
In spite of the widely differing views on the war in Iraq, I find it heartening that [...]

Different Kinds of Parents - May Feature

The Parent Bloggers Network is pleased to announce a new monthly feature - Different Kinds of Parents. The family unit has changed and evolved such that it’s no longer the norm to marry the boy or girl next door, or even necessarily someone from the same geographic, ethnic, religious, or socioeconomic background.

Get a Hobby! - Campaign Launch

I’ve never really thought of my so-called extracurricular activities as hobbies - that is, what I like to do when I’m not earning money, spending money, or scrubbing the kitchen floor.  Once on a first date, the guy asked if I had any hobbies.  I can only imagine the look I gave him, because for me the [...]

Even June Cleaver Would Forget the Juice Box - Imagine All the Mommies Living Life In Peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one: 
“Imagine if we could all stop believing that when our preschooler hits someone in playgroup, it is because he was born by C-section because our va-jay-jay wasn’t up to the task.
Or that if our kid skips breakfast she will weight 400 pounds and [...]

The Dangerous Book For Boys - AKA The Adventurous Book For Everyone

I’m awed by the enthusiasm for The Dangerous Book For Boys - from our parent bloggers, from their friends and families, and from my own friends and family.  I’ve already sent a copy to my brother and his two sons, my father-in-law read it cover to cover when he visited us last week, and I [...]
