A pre-teen that I know moved into my town at the start of 7th grade, meaning she made the jump from Middle School to Junior High (at least, these are the designations her previous and current schools both used). In late fall she tried out for 7th-grade volleyball, and did not make the team (36...

My wife and I are expecting a baby anyday now. The Doctor told us at the last appointment that the next time he'll see us will probably be in the delivery room. This will be our first child and I am a little nervous. Anyone have any tips tohelp out?

G'day In the last month or two someone wrote a really nice list of things to ask/consider when checking out a new day care. It's disappeared off my server now and I haven't had any luck with google trying to find it. Anyone remember this? Could you send it to me? We suddenly got called by our...

I went to get DD's hand and footprint done yesterday. The lady that does them did DS's and she does a very nice job compared to her competitors I've seen. Anyway, we got to talking and she told me she did one on a deceased baby recently. The mother and baby were asleep together on the bed. ...

Hello, My son celebrated his 5th Birthday yesterday. He had a party with about 18 children and lots of family. For reasons I probably don't need to spell our we lost track of who gave which gift after about the 10th person arrived. What is the etiquette for thank you letters in such cases. I had...

I've looked at Pottery Barn Kids and JCPenney. Does anyone know of some good sites? BTW, I am looking in particular for *airplane* bedding of some sort. If anyone knows where I could get some cute ones, let me know! Thanks! Sue

I'm asking this question for my aunt and uncle. Their 15 year old son was expelled from school (again), this time for having a beer on school property. My aunt and uncle were in the process of moving to another county and they tried to get him into a school there. The school said that they weren't...
