Lying About Your Child’s Age
When it comes to fudging the truth, are kids or adults the experts? Tweens find ways to round up their age to sound older than their actual years while their parents try to slow the aging process and round as their own birthdays pass. At the park the other day, I overheard a woman admitting she flat out lies to her gym about her child's age so they will admit her to the daycare.
Lil Tip: Make Makeup Work For You
There's something magical about makeup that makes youngsters swoon. Perhaps it's their desire to mimic mommy, but lads and lasses alike often love applying blush and eye shadow to their baby faces.
My daughter recently broke out in a rash and I needed to apply special lotion to her face and body.
What Lies Do You Tell Your Children?
I tell my kids that there's a Santa Claus, that the tooth fairy is small enough to fly under a pillow and that the Easter Bunny sometimes sprinkles carrots in their food when they aren't looking. In other words, I lie.
For the most part, I am honest with my kids to a point that is sometimes much to my own mother's chagrin.
What's the Biggest Lie You Were Told About Motherhood?
A friend of mine called me after she gave birth to her daughter and asked, "Why didn't you tell me all the crazy stuff that happens?"
The truth was, as the first in our group to have a child, I had no one with whom to compare notes. And, I didn't want to scare anyone.

Should CPS Investigate the Heene Parents For Child Abuse?
In the case of Richard Heene, the acronym UFO may mean something else: Unruly Father Overacts. While the giant Jiffy Pop saucer may have attracted the whole country's attention, it was the parents' history of taking their three children on storm chases that made me raise my eyebrows. While I may have little in common with people who race after hurricanes, I would like to think that moms and dads always have one goal in mind — the safety of their children.
Which Method of Delivery Worked For You?
As youngsters, we are led to believe storks drop newborns off in a bundled white sack. At some point in time, wee ones will find out that Santa Claus isn't real and that mama lied about those long necked birds. There are only two ways to enter this world — through the birth canal or slipping through a surgically split belly.
Beware of Extreme Back Pain During Pregnancy
Aches and pains are part of pregnancy, but some are harder to handle than others. The sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back, through the glutes, and down the back of each leg, is the largest nerve in the body. Because of the nerve's placement under the uterus, it is pressed as the baby grows, often creating sharp or aching pain during pregnancy.
