Strict parenting linked to higher obesity rates in children! Parenting like a Tiger Mom will make your kids obese! A Tiger Mom gives birth in the London Zoo! Wait, that’s a real tiger giving birth to three cubs in the London Zoo. There seems to be a constant maelstrom of parenting nonsense stories that bait headlines more efficiently than Topless Photos of Jennifer Anniston.

Really, I couldn’t write a better headline than that? Muppets Most Wanted-fun for all ages sounds so generic to the smiles, joy and laughter that I had when watching it. After sitting at the keyboard for a while, I keep coming back to that. It’s a great movie that children will enjoy and adults, especially those that liked The Muppets before, will genuinely laugh at.

Divergent is the worldwide mega book best seller with a strong female lead. I didn’t read the book-and I’m over 30-and I’m not a girl. Having said that, you don’t have to be a girl to like this movie, but it would certainly help if you were under the age of 20.

It’s a cliché to say that Cancer sucks, but it does. It’s the world’s worst night club with the DJ only having one song, it’s one you don’t like and it’s being repeated all night. That song is a Cancer cell, a rogue cell that keeps cloning, over and over. If it spreads, or metastasizes then it’s going to other organs and will cause real damage, in many cases terminal. St. Baldrick’s is happening soon, it’s a fundraiser to raise money for children’s Cancer-can you help?

As a child I went to our local nature center and now as a parent I take our two boys to our local several times a month. To that point, if you’re ever in Greensboro, North Carolina the Greensboro Science Center is awesome and well worth your time. Curious Critters Volume 2 takes a close up look at some of the critters that you’ll find featured at your local nature center in a way that’s educational and fun for children of all ages. As a dad, and a photographer, I’m also drooling over the photography, which is vivid and has and depth of field that makes the details on the smallest creatures really stand out.

One barometer of how old my children are is the shows that they watch. Both boys love Thomas, but back when our first was young the transformation from real to computer animated trains threw me for a loop. Now the computer animation is what I expect from Thomas, Cranky and his other friends on Sodor. Now our 2 year old watches Thomas the Train with his older brother, while he tries to pretend he doesn’t like it.
