I’D NEVER LET MY KID DO THAT!

4th of July weekend is upon us and that means fireworks. But kids these days just don’t get to have that one-on-one experience with dangerous explosives that I had when I was growing up. Just before the 4th of July every year, my mom would go to our local fireworks warehouse and buy the single [...]

WHO’S YOUR DADDY?

FATHERHOOD IS CHANGING

Fatherhood has undergone a huge change in the past 50 years. In 1965 fathers were spending 2.6 hours a week on child care; by 2000 that figure had reached 6.5 hours.

I KNEW I HAD BECOME MY MOTHER WHEN…

When we are children we all observe our parents do quirky things and promise ourselves that when we grow up we will never imitate them. However, inevitably, something happens to us as we grow older and suddenly we catch ourselves doing the same quirky things are parents did. As women, we all reach a point [...]

AMERICANS WILL USE ANY EXCUSE TO DRINK

May 5th marks a pretty minor Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo, but leave it to us Americans to use it as an excuse to drink. In all fairness, it was the makers of Corona beer who originally crafted the idea of creating a faux American holiday to sell more of their product. Cinco de Mayo [...]

DO THE FLOWERS YOU ORDERED FOR MOM ARRIVE LOOKING LIKE THE ONES YOU ORDERED?

If you’re thinking of thanking your mom with a Mother’s Day bouquet, you might want to consider the results of a study done by Consumer Reports.
