I’ll confess: I find beauty magazines overwhelming. Total information overload. I also wonder the products that appear in the articles are really that fabulous, or if there’s some collusion at play. Call me suspicious and cynical, but I can’t see dropping $50 here and $100 there for products that aren’t necessarily worth [...]

The long awaited and highly anticipated girl’s response to the hugely popular “The Dangerous Book for Boys” has finally hit the stands thanks to authors Andrea Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz. Known for their own fantastic books on mothering and Mother-Talk, these ladies have collaborated on the brand spanking new “The Daring Book for Girls.”
It’s blue [...]

“One of my biggest fears as a parent is that my kids will hide things from me. As a teenager, I felt like my parents were so wrapped up in their own lives that they just didn’t have time to learn anything about mine. I lied to my parents all the time, about where I [...]

A few months after moving to Colorado, we took a day trip into the mountains. On our way home, we made one wrong turn and found ourselves relying entirely on our GPS and our limited knowledge of the local geography in order to get back on track. We were tired and thirsty and [...]

There’s certainly no shortage of adorable baby shoes out there. But while it’s true that babies grow out of their shoes pretty quickly, that doesn’t mean parents should skimp on quality and design. Babydom is waaaaay to short for ugly shoes, and if you buy the right pairs, they can make their way through a [...]

When we queried our parent bloggers for interest in reviewing Bill O’Reilly’s latest book, Kids Are Americans Too, we wanted to hear from bloggers across the political spectrum - provided they were willing to read with an open mind, in spite of their own political beliefs or their perception of the author’s political beliefs.
