kids

I’ve often wondered if I’m the only mother who feels like they are constantly ordering their kids to do this and that and everything. I feel like from the time I get them up in the morning, until they go to bed at night, that I am constantly trying to make sure they are doing what they need to be doing, or not doing what they shouldn’t be doing.

An experiment in which I introduce my kids to some of my favorite boardgames and find out which ones they like the best.

I always love when summer is here and school ends until fall. My kids love it too. There is always so much anticipation as to what the summer will bring. Where will we go on vacation? Who will we see? What exciting things will happen?

We just got done playing Gary Allan's "Tough Little Boys" on air and it reminded me of how I cried when my baby girl was born 28 years ago. Did you?

We wish we could remember how amazing it felt to learn something as simple as what a shadow is. Instead we're stuck barely being able to remember all of our passwords for internet logins.

Here’s an idea for a fun weekend for the kids and Dad. Take them out to the Big Pine Fishing Access Site near Alberton.  Fish Wildlife and Parks has a kids day planned.  They’ll be teaching kids about bears. They’re getting help from the Great Bear Foundation...

What’s that old adage?  Give your kid a simple name, make it about five letters?

If you have a child that is 11 years of age or older, they are eligible to take the hunter education course that is required by the state in order to purchase a hunting license. Due to a law passed in 2003, all people born after the January 1, 1985 must show a certificate of completion for this course in order to get their license.

If you're not in the know, a movie has been "sweded" when somebody does a low-budget recreation of it. Now that you know, look at these little kids doing all the movies nominated for Best Picture Oscars. While these are not the most faithful swedes we've ever seen, they are pretty cute...

We all have favorites: favorite food, favorite color, favorite band. But a favorite child?

Children's unfiltered honesty can be as heart-meltingly adorable as it is embarrassing. (What parent hasn't wished for an invisibility cloak after a loud proclamation by their child in the middle of the grocery store?) Valentine's Day gives kids a chance to put that honesty to good use while telling their family members how much they care...
