The Facebook Comment Section on Any Parenting Page

March 15, 2018 By Lauren

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.

This post was originally published on Parent.co Toddlers: Who can understand them? The frequent meltdowns, the unexplainable freak-outs, the minute-to-minute mood swings. As I thought about these peculiar creatures one day, I began to wonder what would happen if they were in control of the movie industry. Their popular films might not be so very […]

If the Book Bear Told the Truth

May 21, 2017 By Lauren

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 […]

September 5, 2016 By Lauren

I'm not a good cook, but my son thinks I should be on Chopped. Here's how I see it going down.
