Do You Hold Family Meetings?
The family that eats together, stays together, right? While dinners often serve as a family meeting of sorts, some busy broods pencil in a separate meeting time in hopes of improving family communication, conflict resolution, and discussing other issues that may come up. The digital age of emailing, cell phones, and social networking has made it possible for many families to interact without coming face-to-face with one another.
Ever Left a Dirty Diaper For Someone Else to Change?
Parenting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. When it comes to diapering, many parents use the rule, "He who smelt it, changes it," which usually has both sides equally elbow deep in soiled nappies. However, some sneaky (and tired) mamas and papas looking to score a break from diaper duty have admitted to leaving a stinky one for their counterpart to find and change.
Would You Offer Up Your Baby to Research?
Weird science? The world's heaviest baby has been invited by the Japanese Medical Association to have his development studied as he grows. The study would be sponsored by a Japanese television network and new concerns are brewing that the Indonesian newborn will be exploited, even if it's for science.
Who's Your Favorite New Television Mom?
The Fall lineup is heavy on moms — from expectant ladies like carefree Billie on Accidentally on Purpose to the strong and more serious Alicia on The Good Wife. Since the new television shows offer so many carefully crafted characters, there's bound to be at least one mom to which viewers can relate. Who's your favorite?

Summer of Rage? Americans Angry About Economy
Hard times can spawn a whole range of emotions: fear, panic, worry. A new poll shows that three out of four Americans are angry about the state of the country.
Thanks to similar attitudes across the pond, British authorities say they're getting ready for a "Summer of rage."
Damage Control: US Has Long Way to Go Before Image Fixed
During his first interview as president, Barack Obama said his "job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy." Well considering the level of dissatisfaction around the world, especially in the Middle East and Northern Africa, Obama may have little time for anything else.
According to a new Gallup poll, only in Sub-Saharan Africa do the majority of people (72 percent) approve of the job performance of the United State's leadership.
Did You Receive a Kitchen Gift This Holiday?
This Christmas, did you find the KitchenAid attachment that you've been wanting under the tree? Or perhaps receive the edible gift of your dreams?
Before the holidays, my friend Daisy presented me with some scrumptious peppermint bark, and I was elated!
Michael Phelps Swimming Game: Awesome or Lame?
Michael Phelps is everywhere but at the pool these days! Among other many recent endorsements, Olympic phenomenon Michael Phelps will be teaming up with 505 Games to develop a video game based on his swimming career.
The game is still in its development stages so I don't want to be too quick to judge, but if you happen to have played Beijing 2008, then you may recall that the swimming meets were kinda .
Loop Dog House: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?
I think the design of this Loop Dog Bed I found on Unica Home is modern and lovely, but I'm not quite sure why it comes in at $700 bucks — the hut is made of faux leather, and the bed itself is stuffed with silicone fibers!
For that price tag, I would have expected an ostrich leather outside, goosedown feathers in the pillow, and maybe some gold. Like 24 karats of it.
