It’s a sad day when we need armed lifeguards, especially at a place where most of the attendees are children. Armed security guards have been posted at public pools in Buffalo after a lifeguard was pulled into the water by rowdy teenagers and other unruly behavior prompted safety concerns for parks employees. The city’s eight [...]
I have no idea what compelled Danielle to put a swim diaper on her head. Perhaps boredom.
Get the lowdown on sunscreen here–the good, the bad, and some sun safety tips. Don’t think that just because your sunscreen has a high SPF rating that it’s going to prevent skin cancer. EWG’s fourth annual Sunscreen Guide gives low marks to the current crop of sunscreen products, with a few notable exceptions. EWG researchers [...]
I do not blame this mother for being upset. Not only was her grandchild murdered, this is something that is going to adversely effect her daughter for the rest of her life. With government mandated health care now in place, we are going to see more instances like this–not just with abortions, but with vaccinations, [...]
We’ve all heard of school districts handing out laptop computers as study aids for their students. Assuming that the computers remain property of the school, it is common sense to think that the school has the right to confiscate the laptops or search their hard drives at any time. Many laptops these days come with [...]
While I will agree that it is not for every mom, there should also be no rush to wean based on someone else’s pre-determined schedule. Do what feels right to you. Each mom is different and each child is different…and only the two of you really know when it is best to stop. via Breastfeeding [...]
This sale is the bomb! It’s like walking into a gigantic department store for babies and children except that everything is reasonably priced and gently used. Everything is inspected to insure it is of the highest quality. If you qualify for the pre-sale, that is the time to go to beat the crowd and get [...]
The basic problem is the lack of fathers in the home. And why didn’t these kids have fathers in the home? For the majority of them, the reason is the liberal welfare system which transformed the people who were given “free” money called “welfare” into a society of single moms. In this matriarchy, fathers were [...]
A coalition of pro-life advocates and religious leaders plan to gather in Houston on Jan. 18 to oppose what is expected to be the largest abortion clinic in the country.

Where’s the safest place for your kiddo to be on a frigid, snowy day? You might think it’s at home with Mom and/or Dad. Not so, says this government school official:

Ingrid hits the nail on the head once again. The full article is well worth reading. How do you raise girls to be useful, Christ-centered, godly and modest in a so-called “Christian” environment that no longer values these things? Lip service is paid to “Jesus” by parents and church youth groups, but I find it [...]

Cell phones. It seems like everyone, especially every teenager, has one. A drive by the local high school right when school lets out will find nearly every student with a phone up to their ear. I usually exclaim to the kids, “Quick! Hold something up to your ear so it looks like you’re talking on the phone.”

Obama declared September 28, 2009, Family Day. That sounds all well and good until you read how he redefines family: Our family provides one of the strongest influences on our lives. American families from every walk of life have taught us time and again that children raised in loving, caring homes have the ability to [...]

Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood’s children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school. All was well and good until a nosey neighbor complained. I’m interested to know what there [...]

With responsibility comes freedom. We all want and desire freedom. As children grow, mature, and become young adults, parents must do some hard thinking and make some tough decisions. Children often want the freedom that comes with something before they are able to handle the responsibility. Parents must discern when their children are ready to [...]

Let’s say there is a kid in school, a 13-year-old girl. We’ll call her Jane. But there was this judge, you see, who ordered Jane into this rotten homeschooling environment, because he felt she needed a “more well-rounded education.” The judge thought her old school “had done a good job,” and it was great for [...]

During his presidential campaign, Obama stated that if either one of his daughters made a “mistake,” he wouldn’t want them “punished with a baby.” On the anniversary of Roe v.
