The first three years of homeschooling was easy, I’ve got to admit, compared to today but, not without hurdles.

What happens if my son is not meeting [...]

The percentage of overweight and obese children and teens has more than doubled over the past 30 years. Although many factors contribute to this epidemic, one of the primary reasons is that children have become more sedentary. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) offers expanded guidelines for daily activity for children:
★ Toddlers: [...]
Prime time, tonight: A much-plugged episode of “Glee,” where two of the main high-school characters either do — or don’t — have sex. Over on ABC, the lads on “Man Up” are out on the town, carousing for women. Then there’s “90210,” where the whole gang of teens heads to Vegas for clubbing and hooking [...]
Whenever a brand celebrates a noteworthy anniversary, I always take note. In a highly-competitive marketplace, only the strong survive. After 75 years, Windex® is still the trusted brand everyone loves, especially me!
Windex® made its debut in 1936 during the Great Depression. By adapting to changing family needs and lifestyles, this iconic American brand has [...]
Can you wipe?
No job is more humbling than motherhood. It’s the role where you find yourself wiping people and things on an hourly basis. When I think about how many cloths I’ve palmed then poised over faces, bottoms, countertops, carpets, hands, feet, toilet seats, windows, sinks, crockpot inserts, lampshades, tummies, armpits, chins and chins and [...]

During the 2010-11 school year, 48 percent of students in grades seven through 12 experienced some [...]
My family occasionally has portraits taken and I constantly have a camera pointed at my kids. But the last time I had my picture professionally done was in college when I was roped into doing one of those glamor shots and makeovers.
Don’t judge me.
But I recently learned about Iman Woods, an Erie-based photographer who is [...]

But a government study finds a small fraction of those teens show signs of a troubling anxiety disorder that can be mistaken for extreme shyness.
The report [...]
With the Christmas season upon us and budgets gearing up for gifting time, smartphones are on people’s minds. No doubt about it, the iPhone 4s is going to be one of the hottest gifts of the season – well, anything Apple will be hot, but especially the 4s. Every member of our extended family wants [...]
Dear Mama Drama~
I am struggling with my daughter who is almost 4 saying mean things to her parents and her younger brother. When she is tired, hungry, irritated or just not in control, she says many mean things.
For example:
I don’t like you.
You are not a good brother.
You are not the boss; I am the boss.
I never [...]
The power of knowing how to sew, even with just the basic know-how, opens the door to a whole new world. I had taken this skill for granted most of my life – maybe even denied it a bit during my preteen years – advertising a sewing hobby at such a critical stage could be sudden death to the already limited fashion [...]
