Finding safe toys is easy, thanks to HealthyToys.org

A big THANK YOU to Parents for Ethical Marketing, the Corporate Babysitter, for writing about this one. With all the scares recently about poisonous toys, it’s hard to know what holiday presents to wrap up in pretty paper, and what toys get wrapped up in trash bags.

Winter safety for everyone

The wind is whipping around outside so hard I’m afraid of the windows in my son’s room. In the interest of paranoia, I might move him into my room for the night. The panes of glass are old, and rattling like crazy in their none-too-insulated sills.
I went to take a shower in the mostly finished […]

The end of the month has me thinking about child support

I can’t believe I did it. National Blog Posting Month is done as of midnight tonight, and I did indeed fulfill my commitment to post every day. The end of the month makes me think of the beginning of the month, which in turn makes me think of payments.

Ahem.
Kate over at Babylune is participating in Bravo’s Project Blog and she could use a final push to keep in front of Winnie, who blogs about the View. By all means, check out each of this week’s contestants, but I think you’ll find that Kate’s entry wins, hands down.
Unless you’re a rabid fan of the […]

Sesame Street is inappropriate for small children. (pause) Huh?

Ok, that’s it. I’ve had it. We’ve gone too far, and this mamby-pamby, politically-correct, protect our children from reality at all costs bullhockey must stop.
The first episodes of Sesame Street come with a warning label more appropriate for today’s rap singers than classic children’s television: in what universe has this venerable show been deemed […]

Are children from ‘broken’ homes more likely to be abused?

An article came out over the AP wire yesterday that has me sad and worried. Abuse Risk Seen Worse as Families Change, the article declares. ABC News has picked up the story, with a dramatic photo of a young, tatooed mother mourning at her small son’s grave.

from now on, I’m just gonna use MomSpit

Recently, I posted about an alternative to acohol-based hand sanitizers, citing growing concern that a small amount of this stuff, when ingested by curious toddlers, can cause intoxication if not outright alcohol poisoning. I was thrilled to find MomSpit, a hand cleanser free of alcohol, and while it’s not entirely ‘green’ and I’m sure my […]
