Hello! I an planning to go on a 1 week (or 4-5 days) vacation with wife and 1 year old son. I live near NY and am willing to fly to destination "within US". The place has to be kid (baby) friendly and also warm enough to walk the streets as we will be making this trip within the next 2 months....

I posted this on the twins ng but thought I could get some help here too. My girls want to go to a 6 night/seven day camp this summer (August). I am very hesitant to let them. They went to the camp last summer for one night/two days and complained that it wasn't long enough. They had a GREAT time!...

I was wondering at what age will it be safe to get a bunk bed. I'm planning to buy the kind that can be set up as two separate beds so I can buy now. When can I actually stack them up? Thanks.

DS is terribly thin--he's been hovering around the 5th percentile for weight since he turned one, but has maintained a height closer to the 40-50th. (He's 3 years old now, and weighs about 26 lbs.) My problem is finding pants that will say up, and I'm just wondering if anyone has found certain...

I have a 10 year old and a 4 month old that sleeps with me from time to time. When it storms my all 5 of my children sleep with me and my husband. Yes that gets very crowded but we love them and just because we allow them to sleep with us doesn't mean we are doing anything wrong. There is a lot...

Hi, I have a 2 year old daughter and a husband. I am a SAHM. The only problem is I'm not good at it (meals, that is). It's not that I don't cook well, I just don't have any creativity to even come up with meal ideas. This may be hard to believe, but I literally stress over what to cook for...

My dd has a dd who was 4 in October, but she is a very capable, bright and I think advanced 4 yo. She is quite big for her age, and very well coordinated. For example, she is one of the biggest on her soccer team even though they are 4 and 5 year olds and she's one of the youngest. She can swim,...
