What Do You Think of the Phelps–McDonald's Deal?
A growing epidemic, childhood obesity is an issue for many American families. Fast food chains make it easy for parents to grab meals on the go, and the low price points of sugary drinks and dollar menus make them irresistible to those on a budget. But, that won't keep the major brands from advertising to your tots or paying big time faces to promote their product.

Abigail Breslin: Top Role Model for Lil Girls
If you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, you'll understand my obsession with the positively charming Abigail Breslin.
The extraordinarily talented actress has mad acting skills that are sure to take her far in Tinseltown. More importantly, she seems to have a good head on her small shoulders.
Great Anatomy: Pregnant Ellen Pompeo Is Fit and Fabulous
On-screen and off, actress Ellen Pompeo has always been understated in her fashion and beauty choices that made her more attractive in my eyes. Before pregnancy, her thin frame and natural look created the perfect canvas for fashion forward looks, but her new curves have added an extra glow and style to her existence. Looking better than ever, the mama-to-be is even making my girl Fab look forward to pregnancy...
Which Parent Influenced Your Parenting Style?
Many factors come into play when it comes to shaping a person's parenting style. One's own youth and primary role models typically have a major impact on what kind of parent someone will be. Dads who attend every soccer game and offer a shoulder to cry on will be revered in their child's eye, as will mums who pack lunches and lend an ear for listening to problems.
Brooke Shields: Pretty Baby Has Staying Power as Smart Mama
Brooke Shields has proved she's more than just a pretty baby, but a talented woman. Thrust into the public eye modeling for Ivory Soap at the age of 11 months, the stunner had a successful modeling and film career before she took to the small screen starring in a number of television shows like Suddenly Susan, That '70s Show and the recently canceled, Lipstick Jungle.
Though she sparked controversy with her role as a child prostitute in 1978's Pretty Baby and again a few years later in a Calvin Klein jeans ad, Shields may best be known these days as an outspoken advocate for women suffering from postpartum depression.
Interview with Imagination Movers: Disney's Amazing Dad Band
Disney's hottest dad act, the Imagination Movers encourage friendship, creativity, and thinking while they get kids up off the couch. You may assume this is just another example of the Mouse's Midas touch, but it's more. The four friends (three of which are fathers to a combined nine children) have a back story beginning in New Orleans that will have parents pushing their tots in front of the television as the band's message is genuine.
KinderKord: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
Joan Lunden is often considered a role model as she holds the title for hosting a morning television show longer than any other person, had her second set of twins at age 54 and is a best selling author of several parenting books. Her latest title is inventor, having unveiled her new creation at a child product convention last week.
The KinderKord is an updated take on the kiddie harness, with wrist cords for both parent and child that connect in the middle.
Strollin': Stokke Xplory
If Jane Jetson was your role model growing up, the Stokke Xplory ($1200) may be for you. Though the Orbit Baby title probably suits the space lady better, the Xplory is a suitable choice for the futuristic fashionista.
The innovative design allows parents to push their tots at a higher level via telescoping capabilities, or lower depending on preference, making it less of a back bender for the pusher and a better view for the babe.

Share Your Mommy Stories!
Being a mother is my greatest joy. It's taught me unconditional love, patience, humility and not to sweat the small stuff. While most of my parenting style is instinctual or based on my role models' behaviors, I still have, "Why didn't anybody tell me?!"
