Cute Kids Singing Country Songs – George Strait, 'Amarillo by Morning'

Billy Dukes — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:33:13 +0000

This dapper young fella is all dressed up to sing a classic from the King. We love the seafoam button-down and necktie. Sure, it's probably a clip-on, but have you ever tried to knot a double windsor? His stiff white hat is a throwback to the time George Strait first made 'Amarillo by Morning' a country hit in 1983.

Kids are the Funniest Humans on Earth and This Tumblr is Proof

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:47:15 +0000

‘David After the Dentist’ recently broke 116 Million views on YouTube. This is pretty solid proof that little kids are a lot funnier than adults, and we’ve found the ultimate collection of kids being hilarious. You know that pesky filter we develop as we get older that keeps us from saying things out loud for [...]

10 Ways to Give Your Kids a Boost By Helping Them Study Better

Kathy Landin — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:28:11 +0000

When your kids go back to school, it’s almost like you go back to school, too. Teachers and childhood development professionals agree that when a child’s parents are involved in his education, he learns more and gets better grades. That means, you have just as big a responsibility in his schoolwork as he does. Good [...]

The survey found that 25 percent of parents find themselves puzzled by their children’s science and math questions on a daily basis. The survey also reveals that 26 [...]

It's Summertime!

In case you didn’t know from the 100 degree temperatures, it’s Summer time!! For me that means all 3 of my children are at home, for the most part, 24 hours a day. This can be good and bad.

Some of the things I love about Summer include staying in bed until after 8 a.m. Granted, I usually don’t sleep past 6:30, but I do get to lie in bed and snuggle with my babies and try to catch an extra 10 minutes of sleep while they watch cartoons! I also love going swimming. It’s one of the only ways to let the kids expend some major energy while keeping cool and it also usually also guarantees a really good naptime!

Mom and The Easter Bunny

Sarah H. — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:00:35 +0000

My very practical 5 year old son thinks that the story of the Easter bunny is utterly ridiculous. He doesn’t buy the whole "bunny-bringing-candy-filled-eggs" thing at all.

He’s a very logical little boy and he informed me that there was no way a bunny lays eggs and then hides them for little children to find. His exact words were, “Mom, bunnies aren’t interested in eggs or kids. They are worried about carrots!”

Tyler then informed me that he thinks the eggs come from my closet because he’s pretty sure he saw some there! Oops! I guess Mom needs to find a better place to hide them!

Mom's Work is Never Done – Kids and their Birthdays

Sarah H. — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:30:31 +0000

Having 3 kids, we’ve planned a few birthday parties. For some, we have gone all out and for a few it has just been a small dinner with close family.

My daughter’s birthday is on Christmas Eve so it’s always tricky to try and plan her party. Do we do it before Christmas or after Christmas? Do we invite all her classmates even though it’s so close to Christmas? One year she decided she wanted a luau themed party complete with swimming. That year we did a ‘half’ birthday. She had a party in June at a swimming pool. While that was a lot of fun, come December, she wanted another party!

Kids Say (And Do) The Darnedest Things

Sarah H. — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:59:10 +0000

As a mom, you love your kids unconditionally, but they sure can embarrass you sometimes! Just the other day, standing in line at the checkout at HEB, my Bowen, who is 2, pointed to a bearded man standing behind us and YELLED, “That man looks like a billy goat! That billy goat STINKS!”

Talk about wanting to run away! I was so embarrassed and couldn’t even turn and walk in the other direction because I had all my groceries laid out on the belt and was ready to check out. To add salt to the mortified wound, Bowen then asked to have a chocolate bunny at the checkout. I told him no and that too much candy would put holes in his teeth. He pointed to the checker and said, rather loudly, “She has holes in her teeth!” I couldn’t get out of there fast enough! To the man with the beard and the checker, I am so sorry that my 2 year old has not learned better manners!

How Moms Keep It Together

Sarah H. — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:00:16 +0000

My kids are always saying funny things. If you are my friend on Facebook, I’m sure you’ve seen me quoting them from time to time. The idea for this blog comes from my 5 year old son. He is my rambunctious child. He’s all boy and he’s constantly on the go and trying to entertain [...]

The Morning Of A Stay At Home Mom

Sarah H. — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:00:11 +0000

I’m a stay-at-home mom. When I tell people that, I get a lot of “What do you do all day?” I really wish I could say that I do nothing, that I sit around and watch soaps and internet shop all day long.

In all honesty, at the end of the day when I look back, I haven’t gotten anything noticeable done. I’m sure my husband wonders what I do all day, too. So I decided to write down every single thing I did for one day. Just to give you a glimpse of what I do. Here is a typical Tuesday morning.

How Young Is Too Young For A Cell Phone?

Kristin — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:36:40 +0000

Over the past couple of years it has become common place for teenagers to own cell phones. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone over the age of 15 that doesn’t. I do not have a teenager. My oldest child is 11. Does he have a cell phone? Yes. When I bought it [...]
