Is High Fashion Hurting Kids? - Blog Entry

This sounds very intersting and the points are very valid. This is probably why I am for uniforms.

Comfort really should rule, but with that said however, some of the fashionable items can be layererd on top of a leggings and long sleeve t's for comfort and warmth.

As for shoes... choose them carefully, or your child will pay for it later with foot problem and surgeries.

Decorating for an Allergy Free Home - Blog Entry

The thing about bagless vacuums with Hepa filters is that I am still exposed to dust when I dump it.

But, I still prefer the look of hardwood, so I am ok without every having to use a vacuum.

Parents Outraged After School Imposes Late Fee - Blog Entry

The easy answer is PICK UP THE KIDS ON TIME... always being picked up late is also humiliating for the kids who feel forgotten or unimportant. I think they should maybe allow 3 lates a year, for traffic and accidents... beyond that, they should charge $1.00 per minute for parents more than 10 minutes late...

Does anyone realize that the teachers have to go pick up their kids, some of who are in daycare and will have to deal with much harsher fees if they are late?

Screaming Kid Makes for Travel Nightmare - Blog Entry

03 Nov 2009 07:59 AM

I have traveled with kids for many years. Our only bad episode was traveling south in the evening. As the plan went to land my son started screaming. His ears were hurting. At that moment his sister turned to him and threw up on him. The screaming escalated. "Get if off me"... "My ears" over and over. Several passengers rushed to my aid. This was their second flight of the day and they were tired and flying south at night can be especially bumpy. Had my kid gotten on the flight in a mood and not perfectly calm and reserved as my had, we would have been kicked off too... The screaming usually gets worse, not better on airplanes.

Let my husband iron his own shirt? Uh... yeah. He irons mine too... but most of my clothes ARE the wrinkle free type.. If I'm feeling generous though, I take his shirts to the dry cleaners for a wash, press, and starch.
