We caught wind of some odd teen pregnancy pact and rolled our eyes […]

Special Needs Follow-up - Everyone cool your jets!

People, people, people… seriously - there is no need to put a hit out on me for my previous post discussing the mother of the autistic child who was kicked off a flight.  Granted, the title was in poor taste - I’ll admit that.  At the time, my blogging mind kicked in and yes, it’s […]

Sometimes ‘Special Needs’ Just Need To Stay Home

If’ I pay $400 plus dollars to fly on an airplane, I certainly don’t want my flight to be filled with constant chaos and a kid screaming and throwing a tantrum as was the case of the Autistic toddler that got kicked off an airplane in Raleigh Durham recently.
I guess you could say my kids […]

Jennie Garth and her daughter help build a playground for under-privileged kids

It’s great to see celebrities doing something to help the children within our borders.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying helping the global call is bad, but when there are kids inside the U.S. that need help, I believe our call should be to our own first.
I applaud Jennie Garth and her daughters for doing […]

Kudos to Professional Nanny of the Year

Heidi McFadyen, from St Neots, was named Professional Nanny of the Year after being nominated for her enthusiasm.
She said: “When I won I was in total shock. At first, I thought I’d come third because my name was read out first, but then I saw my name was up there.”

Move over nannies, here’s the manny
