September 18, 2018 By Lauren

The Facebook Comment Section on Any Parenting Page

March 15, 2018 By Lauren

I have a confession to make. Sometimes I’m a Facebook comment reader. I can pick out a post that will bring the drama from a mile away, and every once in a while, I can’t help myself; I have to read through the comments. Even though I’m used to it, it will never cease to […]

Top Ten Movies Written by Toddlers

September 18, 2017 By Lauren

If toddlers wrote movies, they'd be just like ours... with a few small changes.

What would happen if instead of going on all sorts of fun adventures, families just went about their normal lives when the Book Bear came to their house? Here's one hilarious guess.

My son came home from kindergarten the other day carrying a blue quilted duffle bag I’d never seen before. He opened it with eager fingers to reveal its contents: a spiral-bound notebook and a little white teddy bear. It was his weekend for the Book Bear. The concept of the Book Bear is similar to […]

January 20, 2017 By Lauren

Is your kids' constant fighting about to send you over the edge? Try one of these hilarious ideas to get them to stop bickering and start getting along.

The boys were at each other. Pestering, whining, non-stop bickering. Despite repeated warnings, the fighting continued, and despite the fact that I was a room away, it was driving me crazy. Finally in a desperate attempt to stop the bickering without having to banish them to their bedrooms (which wouldn’t have worked anyway since they […]

Hilariously Wrong Stock Photos of Childbirth

January 27, 2016 By Lauren

Hilariously wrong stock childbirth photos

I recently published a post about the things I wish I’d known (that no one told me) before giving birth. After writing it, I began to look for a picture to use for my title graphic. Type ‘childbirth’ into the search bar of any stock photo website and you’re going to get some… interesting… results. Many were […]

4 Life Lessons You Won’t Learn from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

October 5, 2015 By Lauren

Are these really the lessons you want to teach your kids?

We were minutes away from the beach when the fog began to roll in. “Uh-oh!” I said to the kids, “It might not be the best day to play in the ocean. I hope the fog doesn’t stick around long.” My three year old piped up from the back seat. “I know what to do! Mickey called […]
