Simple or Swank: The Obama Girls' New Swing Set
Swing sets have come a long way from the old tire hanging from a tree branch. Yesterday, Malia and Sasha Obama came home from school to see just how far they have come.

Quick breakfast can be more than a slice of toast. I'm not a fan of spray foods and tend to make most of my kids' food from scratch and with organic ingredients. But weekday mornings at my house are sheer madness.
Mommy's Lil Helper: Toilet Paper Saver
I have gradually introduced my babe to the ways of the toilet for the past few months.
She's yet to do her business, but she DOES love the toilet paper. While laughing, she tears it off and pretends to wipe.
Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Reflexes
My body changed when I entered motherhood and I'm not talking back flab or droopy boobs. Those were sort of expected, it was the mom arm that flew across the front seat passenger in my car when I slammed on my brakes that surprised me.
