Because I wanna be an official mom

This totally could have been worded better, minus the snark. It’s National Babywearing Week. Educate yourself. Advocate if you already do it. Show Motrin and the snarky naysayers what the truth is about babywearing.

Obama against homeschool

I KNEW IT! I knew his dodgy wordy rhetoric about schooling was all about how to abolish homeschools and make every child attend some form of public school with “qualified” teachers. I was alerted to the voting record of Obama on school today by Sprittibee. Don’t believe me? See for yourself under school choice. This [...]

NJ Vaccination debate goes LIVE

9 year old boy too good at baseball

They won’t let him play. Isn’t that crazy? Because the boy has an extraordinary gift for the game, they punish him instead of praise him. They ostracize him and beat him down instead of lifting him up and helping him reach the top. Great job, grown people involved. YOu are all doing a wonder for [...]

And they say I’m crazy: NJ schoolers struggle

Take a read through this article from The Star Ledger. People look at me like I am a nutcase when I say I don’t let my son attend these sub-par schools. I would like to know if they still think I am crazy after this little tidbit of information.

Child humiliated by school teachers

I just heard this on the news and nearly fell out of my chair: Sixth-grader Matt Porter didn’t enjoy getting “Most Likely Not To Have Children” and “Sir Clowns-a-Lot” awards from two teachers at his school.source Sure the teachers are being reprimanded and counseling secured for the boy BUT what were the teachers thinking? Who [...]

Help for parents, help for teens

Many a parent that I speak with on a regular basis have teenagers. My sisters are just getting done being teens themselves. I was a hard teen myself. Thankfully, there are help lines for parents who need it. They can call in and find the resources they need to make sure that their children have [...]

Child safety should be number one!

I can’t believe that people still think it’s okay to leave their children in the car unattended. It is so dangerous to do so. I mean, people could come and take your child, the child could suffocate, burn to death… you just don’t know. Read this article about it and sign the petition. You and [...]
