Hollywood Video has been my friend and foe for my last two family vacations. In an effort to make my travels temper tantrum free, I rented Elmo, Thomas the Train, Tom & Jerry, and Clifford the Dog DVDs. Unfortunately, my trip dates make it impossible to return them on time. The $12 charge is worth the rentals, but the accompanying late fees make it debatable.
On my recent trip to our local library, I stumbled upon a fantastic kiddie DVD selection. Surprised and elated, I asked the clerk about the "check out" policy. You can rent up to six DVDs for a seven day time period — FREE! Anticipating another long travel weekend ahead, I am heading there tomorrow for a slew of cartoon videos to entertain my wee one. Before you run to your local video store, hit your closest library branch. Source
Ever have a hard time deciphering what your lil one is trying to tell you? After a while, a mother can clarify to others that "waga" translates to "water" and "peas" does not connote the green veggies, but "please." Take one of your tot's most mangled vocabulary words and memorialize it with a Temporary Language tee.
Parents choose an image from a gallery of 100 plus pictures, enter their child's version of the word along with the legitimate translation. For $30, your babe will be a walking talking self–identifying dictionary for those surrounding him. And, you'll have a tangible memento of his "faborit whuurd."

Airport, mall and restaurant bathrooms often offer the appropriate amount of space to do a quick change, but their cleanliness is not always top–notch. Leave the germs behind by using a large biodegradable Clean and Green Changing Table Cover ($5/pack of eight). Having used blankets and plush teddy bears to keep my wee one's head from touching the surface of public changing tables, these eco–friendly disposable pads would have been a welcome addition to my diaper bag.
A new Dutch study found that pregnant women consuming any sort of nut product on a daily basis may be putting their unborn child at risk for developing asthma. Published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, the study followed more than 4,000 pregnant women, tracked their eating habits, and the diets of the children from birth until age eight. Epidemiologist at Utrecht University, Saskia Willers said:
Children whose mothers ate as little as one peanut butter sandwich a day had a far higher risk of asthma. . . If you eat moderately, it is probably not a problem. It is only if you eat nuts or nut products on a daily basis.
Amanda Peet's comments advocating vaccinations in Cookie magazine sparked debate among lilsugar readers. And that heated conversation wasn't limited to our website. Cookie's forum was also full of comments from passionate parents. In this behind-the-interview clip, the actress and mother of 18-month-old, Frances, discusses the misconception that she believes parents have when it comes to autism and vaccinations.
Do you think it's appropriate for a parent whose child does not have autism to address this issue?
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Spiderman! Nope, it's Henry Samuels! Heidi Klum and Seal's kids were out for a walk on West Side Park in New York City on Sunday with their grandma and nannies.
