What is Motherhood To You?
I was recently sent the movie, “Motherhood” which stars Uma Thurman and after reviewing it I couldn’t help but recommend it to all my neighbors. To me this was a funny view of being a mom, but it had a lot of reality to it as well.

Do Work-at-Home Moms Raise Unhealthy Kids?
An Australian report came out stating that mums (moms) that work-from-home or full-time are raising unhealthier children than those that work part-time. Australia recently did research on 4500 Australian preschoolers, they discovered that those that had moms that worked full-time or not out of the house ate more junkfood, the preschoolers that had moms working part-time seemed to eat less.
The report is called “Do Working Mothers Raise Couch Potato Kids?” and goes on to state those that had moms working… More »

California Wants “No Cussing Week”
California lawmakers have already voted to try to make a new law pass in the state, this would be a “No Cussing” week.

Instead on our way home we drove by more people that liked weaving in and… More »
