The NHS has been facing ever-increasing pressures in recent years, with slashed budgets, staff shortages and lack of resources taking its toll on the quality of care. One of the many ways we commonly see the impact of these pressures is in waiting times for GP…
The day you’ve dreamed of for years has finally arrived! Your little girl is all grown up and has chosen a partner to start her life with, and you are officially a MoB -- Mother of the Bride! While congratulatory remarks are appropriate at this juncture, so are a few…
This one is as simple as crowdfunding your honeymoon. It might sound strange at first, but do you really need another blender or set of dinner plates? Instead of having your guests purchase a bunch of things you’ll end up trying to return anyway, why not let them chip in for…
I married a gamer; and I am glad that I did.
Playing video games is just one of my husband's many hobbies. It is one that we occasionally do together (before I was pregnant, we used to have Wii Wednesdays where I would do my best to defeat him at bowling and tennis). But playing video games is not something I engage in as often as he would probably like. (Sorry, honey.)
But there will come a time when I will need to rely on more than the ESRB label to determine if the content is right for my son. I will need to rely on a gamer. Thankfully, I have my husband.
Other parents are not so lucky. In this admittedly unscientific survey of parents, most participants were unable to name three games owned by their child, and far fewer were able to summarize the plot and goals of those games.
Of course, there are some handy tips to follow if you don't happen to be married to video game guru.
If you need me, I'll be watching my men play Mario Kart. It's my son's first "grown up" video game and he loves running into the cows and walls (just like his mommy!)
Game on.
Tell me your favorite video game in the comments.

I'm the old fashioned pacman player. As a family, we play Wii. My kids are young, so that's about it for now. Oh, my 7 year old plays something called Bad Piggies.
Hmm...I'm not too sure really. Something family friendly of course. Or maybe we'll let her choose something that she likes. She's only one right now so we got a while to go, I think.
Hi, Brittney! Do you know what you want your first video game with her to be yet?
My husband and I also play video games. I can't wait for Sofia to get old enough so I that I can teach her how to play as well. Soon we'll all be playing as a family.
