As many of you know, I am a fan of True Crime books. Just yesterday, I was browsing www.Amazon.com for new true crime books to buy. While I was browsing, I happen to see a book about a rescue of 37 girls, ages 5 to 14 from Cambodia whom were being held in a brothel against their will for money...

This year, Sesame Street turns 40. I have been watching this children's TV show called Sesame Street when I was seven. Maybe they want to put a timeline of Sesame Street. Also, the Amazon Conduit on Vox has been fixed, so I will be buying my own domain blog without having to surf the internet ever...
Sorry about last night. I actually did get up, believe it or not, and worked on that child's speech until 4 a.m. Which is crazy, of course. And wrong. I do realize this. But it was only a draft. She'll have to write the final draft herself. Mostly I was reading stuff and jotting down notes. Research...
The Internet can invite unwanted intruders into your home. For younger children, you need to worry about offensive websites and inappropriate content. For older kids and teens, it can be even more complicated – instant messaging, social networking, child predators, cyber bullies, scammers, or...

My neighbour is back from holiday, the couple preset Sean a new t-shirt. I am not sure if Sean can fit in but I can see it is size 6 so he can probably fits in. Sean is now at kindergarten and he loves it there. This morning I have paid his fees for next year. It is not cheap as I paid $450! The...
A study by Professor Anita Bundy, Professor and Chair of Occupational Therapy at the University of Sydney, has shown that if primary school kids are "let loose with buckets, hay bales, car tyres and cardboard boxes" they become "significantly more active, social, creative and resilient", according...
The experience of life has left me with the belief that the occasional impeccably timed smack on a kid's arse after reasonable attempts at negotiation have failed, can be a useful and effective deterrent against its subsequent delinquency. Last year when I expressed this view I was taken to task by...
We went to the pumpkin patch last week and now we have eleven pumpkins around our home. Sienna loves the pumpkins but really really wants to carve them. So i thought of a project we could do to "carve" pumpkins out of paper to help appease her need for pumpkin carving. This is a project we used to...
Today i got to work on Sienna's Halloween costume. This year she decided she wanted to be a Ballerina. When i was growing up my mom always made our costumes. She either sewed them from scratch or we would put them together with things we found or got from a thrift store. I loved it. I always felt...
I went to see a midnight showing of Where The Wild Things Are Thursday night. Coming out of the theatre, I was declaring my love for the film, when one of my friends said, "But it's not a kids movie." This stopped me dead in my tracks. Not a kids movie? My friend said that it was "too scary" for...

I was talking to a friend this past weekend and we both agreed how important it is to enjoy our children. I think if I could pass along just one piece of advice to a new parent it would be just that. Enjoy your kids. Spend time with them. Let them know that you love them. Don't be so wrapped up in...
Many of us look at the leader of the free world and are frozen in our footsteps, watching in amazement, as our country’s history of freedom is unraveled like a ball of yarn. The millions of good men and women who gave their lives for our freedom are not only being taken for granted, but are...
