Parents to children know that something strange happens to them on Daylight Savings Time. Specifically in the fall when folks in the United States are coming off Daylight Savings Time, ie, losing an hour, young children may behave differently. Differently, waking up at odd times, being crabby or otherwise behaving unlike the angels that they normally are.

The other day I read this great article in The Daily Mail. It was written by a health professional at a weight management center, or centre as he would write. This morning I was greeted with the obvious bait link of a headline, “Hot Mom on Facebook Defends Herself”. That story was not what I thought it would be, but it was also a great read about motivation, exercise and parenting. I simply combined the two stories in my head to come up with the train wreck of a headline: In Defense of a hot mom on Facebook and fat children in England.

Kids have it lucky nowadays. Their toys are smarter than mine were and their holidays just seem bigger, witness Halloween. In our neighborhood most of the neighbors have at least one Halloween decoration in the yard and the kids know what they’re dressing up as weeks before the big night. Enter the #KmartHalloween twitter party on 10/16 at 1PM ET where we’ll be scaring up tweets on Halloween, the cool candy, the costumes and giving away $200 in Kmart gift cards.

It was then explained to me that the pedals were never there and that a balance bike helps young children learn and practice their balance. Why can’t children just learn by falling off their bike the way that I did, my old school self said in my inner monologue. Enter the Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike, a product you may not think that your toddler needs, but they do. Continue reading Joovy Bicycoo Balance Bike review: Stylish, helpful and kids love it
A good bedtime story has two ways to look at it: it’s fun for the children to hear and it’s fun for the parents to read. That’s our go-to rule for bedtime stories. If it meets both of those criteria then it’s bound to be something that will last for a long time. On My Way to Bed is the silly, brightly illustrated story about Livi creatively avoiding bedtime.

The many questions that a 4 year old asks are the stuff of legend. Sometimes the questions from children will be earnest and straight forward. It’s those other times when your children ask questions that are unexpected, innocent or just downright weird. Continue reading Awkward questions from children: Daddy, what’s in your willy?
I’m honest. If I wasn’t driving my nieces – ages 8, 10 and 12 – to the movie, I wouldn’t have gone. I don’t have anything against One Direction (I was a fan of NKOTB in 6th grade too!) but I’m in my twenties now (read: 37). However, seeing my nieces see One Direction: This Is Us was a lot of fun. Continue reading An aunt and 3 fans review One Direction: This Is Us
Being a parent requires you to wear many hats. Some of these hats, or professions you may have had no practical experience with, but they will help you in dealing with your children. Earlier we mentioned the skill sets of a waiter that are needed by all parents. Now that we have one child who can engage in conversations we’ve discovered the need to work like a waiter and think like a lawyer. Continue reading Being a better parent means thinking like a lawyer
