“Super-nannies” are to be brought in to try to improve parenting in 77 areas of England with high levels of anti-social behaviour, PM Tony Blair has said.  Full article
I think this is a brilliant idea!  One that might even prove to be very effective should anyone here in the U.S. care enough to provide such services.

Post Thanksgiving TMX Tickle Me Elmo Craziness

How many of you have ever given in to the craziness of the holidays and have actually gone shopping for one of those “hot list items” that’s liable to get you hurt?

Tattoo me a prude

You know, I may be the worlds biggest prude, but what on earth could a 6 - 12-year-old want with their very own pretend tattoo parlor?

One million American children experience divorce every year.
Single parent families increased from 13% of the U.S. family population in 1970 to 31% in […]

I Wonder What Super Nanny Would Say About…

 I used to be one of those parents that hated seeing these harness‘ leashes on kids.  Until I had twins!
