Does it ever seem like your child has transformed overnight? Overnight they went from an infant, to a baby. Then again overnight they were transformed from a baby to a toddler. This has been the sequence of events for man cub for as long as I can remember. He would be a kid one day, and a tween...

A miracle happened in our house this week and I just had to share. Anyone with older children (well, past the age of 3) may be aware of how quickly your job description goes from “mother” to “nagger.” My son (it seemed to me) couldn’t lift a finger unless I told him...

What is bath time like for you?
OK…not you, you. I mean bath time for your kids.
