Wait a Second; I thought I was the Parent
By Tiffany MacKay A few weeks ago I was told by my daycare provider that the infant room would no longer be able to use bottle warmers to warm bottles for my son. I was given a document from the state that outlined a policy that prohibited bottle warmers or crock pots from classrooms to [...]

By Sabina Chen If it had been up to me, I would have let Milo’s hair grow until I could tie it into a ponytail. But his hair was getting pretty unwieldy, covering his eyes, and hard to keep neat. For Daddy, the final straw was the fact that Milo’s hair was starting to snake [...]

Sick
By Sandy Egan Every winter, I dread what may come in terms of the various viruses and bacteria that kids swap with one another at school. Whether it’s a minor cold, ear infection, or the flu, my ears perk up whenever I hear “something is going around the school.” A couple of weeks ago my [...]
