I had the opportunity to review three childrens books from The Secret Mountain. Each beautifully illustrated hardcover book is accompanied by an audio CD. My family enjoyed all three titles, and each offered a unique literary and musical experience for our kids.Posted 3 days 52 min ago by Lori Kerrigan
Something is in the water, but apparently, you are not drinking it! Is another loved one pregnant while you stay "stuck" in the fertility challenged stage?

I’ve been a little absent from Parenting Squad because a little career boost sent me away from my usual routine. My unpublished short story collection won a very cool award. Yay! I had to leave the family behind a few days. There is nothing that more physically addresses a mom trying to have a career than a few days apart from the children.Posted 5 days 6 hours ago by Linsey Knerl
Awhile back I told you how I was almost always the Mom in the middle. Not sure if I’m overreacting to most things, but more than likely certain that I’m too laid back for my own good. A trip to the ER this weekend gave me confidence in my decision–making abilities as a mother. (And reaffirmed that you really don’t want to mess with me when the kiddos are involved.)Posted 2 weeks 4 hours ago by Linsey Knerl
If you have a tween girl at home who craves fiction, this series by Dannah Gresh might be a healthy alternative to chick lit books geared toward the teen crowd.Posted 2 weeks 2 days ago by Linsey Knerl
It has been a difficult few months for my family. Homeschooling, 6 cases of the flu, working from home, and keeping up with a rather heated political battle has left this mama a bit worse for wear. While I can count a few more grey hairs as a result of this mega-dose of “life”, I’m also very thankful for the opportunity to teach. Where textbooks have traditionally failed, I have had the blessing to share real life with my children.Posted 2 weeks 3 days ago by Carrie Kirby
Training wheels are a classic part of childhood -- but do they really teach kids what they need to know to ride a 2-wheeler? Marketers of glide bikes say they have a better way.Posted 2 weeks 5 days ago by Carrie Kirby
Parenting magazine recently asked which candidate parents would trust to babysit their child. Obama won by a landslide. As long as parents get out to vote tomorrow, I believe the real election's results could be the same.Posted 3 weeks 3 days ago by Lynn Truong
I grew up collecting baseball cards and playing Magic: The Gathering. But I wasn't a tomboy. There just weren't a lot of choices when it came to card collecting or trading card games. Now there is!Posted 3 weeks 4 days ago by Linsey Knerl
I have been a Glubble user for some time now. I enjoy letting my kids cruise the internet, but I want to be responsible about how much freedom I gave them. This newest version of the software strikes perfect balance between managing your kids’ screen time and giving them permission to really go places with their online experience!Posted 3 weeks 5 days ago by Linsey Knerl
Hate em’ or love em’ shots are one of the best ways to prevent the flu. If you’re planning for your entire family or just need a place to start, here’s the skinny on the bug and where to find its injectable demise.Posted 3 weeks 5 days ago by Lori Kerrigan
Adoption Education….more than educational? Here is a review of our adoption education & how it not only educated us, but encouraged us and changed our perspective on many adoption elements.

I envy my “crafty” friends. You know…. the ones who scrap, sew, and design their own blog templates. They do it so easily, and so it seemed futile for me to even try. Then I discovered a website that gave me back some confidence.Posted 4 weeks 5 days ago by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
With this year's national election, California's Yes on Prop 8 campaign, and the nationwide obsession with scapegoating immigrants for economic woes--hatred and fear is infiltrating all manner of American life. Bigotry is finding itself a home in our national discourse and the playground in the school yard next door is no different. How do we tackle the hatred when it gets directed at our families? What do we tell the children?Posted 5 weeks 9 hours ago by Fred Lee

A little bit lazy, a whole lot of passionate, this mom doesn’t always follow the crowd. Thankfully, I have some good mom friends on both ends of the spectrum to help even me out.Posted 6 weeks 1 day ago by Margaret Garcia-Couoh
