Some nights, when the baby is running wild throughout the house, and your husband, in spite of his best efforts, can’t manage to control her, making dinner can be nearly impossible. On these nights I often like to disappear into the bathroom for a few minutes, soak in the tub, and tune out the world.

That was last night. McKinley has been fighting yet another cold on top of an ear infection – they tend to go hand-in-hand with teething for her, and we haven’t left the house. When you…

Finding the meaning of existence is a significant questioning attribute which is made possible in general making a co-existence in all attribute of living. Many experts have made a heuristic reply for the question why we are living and what’s the purpose of being on earth. Many people are still deriving new possibilities on every day which actually are correlated and determine on the same scope of answer. The philosophical way of living makes a man to be perfectly fit on the above constrain.…

Majority of the parents who are concerned to buy baby car seat have just one primary consideration in their mind- the child’s safety.

Choosing the one that is best for your baby is not an easy task as it needs to be according to your car, your budget and most important the baby who is going to use it.…

My son likes to tell me stories about his classmates' behavior at school. (He's a bit of a talker.) I know all about the children who use too many paper towels, or the ones who never sleep during quiet time, and even about the ones who have too many "hateful words." I remind my son that I am only interested in his behavior. Then I remind him that…

Are you stopping yourself from starting a weight loss program? Don’t you have any idea about ways to shed weight? Do not stress - all of us need to start at some time, and…

Disclaimer: Yes, this blog is probably about you, but I am also 100% guilty of this as well.  In fact ironically, I’ve been sitting here thinking I just don’t have time to write this morning because I have too many other things to do, which is all the more reason why it needs to be done.

A conversation between two moms:

Mom 1: “I haven’t seen you in a while, how have you been?”

Mom 2: “We’ve been so busy!  We’ve has this and that……..”

Sound familiar?  How many…

If you would have asked me three years ago about my plans for breastfeeding, I probably would have told you that I might try to nurse for 6 weeks. I would have made a face at the idea that I would nurse for a year, let alone PAST a year.

If you've just had your first child, whether birth or adopted, you know that it’s worth your time to read over the tax forms and instructions regarding children and dependents.

The tax code offers parents many credits and deductions that are designed to help your federal tax bottom line. Raising kids is expensive, and properly claiming your children as your dependents will help get you back some of your childcare costs at the end of the year.

After compiling your tax records,…

Sometimes, it just feels like your world collides with something and everything just kind of…stops.

Last week, Lucy decided she was afraid of my laptop cord. So she pulled the whole charging port out of it. I thought, meh, no big deal. I figured we’d have to replace the laptop at the end of the year, so we’re just doing that a little early. I don’t use it a ton, anyway.

So I ordered a replacement, took the longer free shipping option, moved on.

And then I realized just…

This morning I shared a picture of a little girl that I used to care for.  Her mother and I are Facebook friends and today is her seventh birthday.  Her mother sent me a nice message and asked me if I could please take down the post I shared because she's very sketchy and crazy when it comes to pictures of her children on the internet.  I apologized and I felt so bad because I should have asked her first.  But it made me think about the photos I post of me and my son on Facebook or…

They say motherhood is one of the hardest jobs a woman will ever have. The up-all-nights, constantly being needed and cried for, lack of free time, spit up, throw up, endless poopy diapers, the list goes on. Some women step into the role with ease and grace, it’s what we are meant to do after all, right? A baby is born after a few hours of sweat and maybe some tears from the new Mother, and then they embrace and smile and the room is filled with love and jubilation. Then the trio returns…

Research paper is a combination of views, thoughts, statistics, and facts regarding a particular topic. This type of academic paper is more complicated than ordinary essay because a student has to conduct a broad research first. It involves gathering, analyzing and interpreting topic-related data.

How does the process of constructing a good research paper look? Instructors define three steps of writing this type of work.

To begin with, a student should set a prewriting process.…

As I've previously complained, I run in the mornings. I try to stay focused on my breath and my stride and not slipping on unseen ice on the sidewalk and falling on my butt (again), but sometimes I get distracted: Mostly by people's garages.…

I must admit, if you would have asked me my thoughts on ageing 10 years ago my reply would have been a negative one. And why not!?! Everything I had seen on television, in magazines, conversations with friends, etc. told me that once you get grays & wrinkles your life was pretty much over; you mine as well curl up into a ball and wait to die. Nothing about getting old seemed glamorous. Old people always complain about this breaking, that not working like it used to, etc. Ugh! Who…
