OK, this gets kind of technical, but researchers have found a direct connection between tonsils and wee-wee.

In Defense of the Fake Christmas Tree

by Jennifer Jordan, Posted Dec 8th 2008 11:02AM

Growing up, if you'd ever asked me if I'd have a fake Christmas tree, I'd have laughed in your face. The fake trees I encountered as a child were tacky, cheap and, frankly, highly flammable. In fact, my grandparents had an artificial tree that ...

Moving with baby

by Jennifer Jordan, Posted Jan 10th 2008 10:40AM

Well, we've finally outgrown our little one bedroom here on the park and are officially looking to make a move. Our landlord, who is lovely, had no choice but to finally raise our rent, and it seems ridiculous to pay even more money for a space ...

by Roger Sinasohn, Posted Jun 18th 2007 2:01PM

by Roger Sinasohn, Posted Mar 18th 2007 10:05PM

Here it is again, Sunday night, and, although it's no longer garbage night for us (they moved it to Tuesday, which really sucks), I still get to muck about on the internet. We've been working on potty training with Sara, without a whole lot of ...

Do your kids have a normal room?

by Roger Sinasohn, Posted Jan 18th 2007 2:01PM

What does a normal room look like? Depends on where you are, I suppose, and the purpose of the room. But would a kid's room in Idaho really look all that different from one in Finland? Normal Room is a website that will let you find out. Basically, ...

How do you teach your kids to clean their rooms?

by Jen Creer, Posted Jul 14th 2006 7:02AM

I think I must be doing something wrong. My children can vacuum. They can clean up the TV room. They can help with the yard work. But when I tell them to go and clean their room, they come out two minutes later and tell me it's clean. And none of ...
