Author: Malinda HendersonI never had the opportunity to ride a motorcycle as a child, but I remember envying every child that I saw on the back of one. To me, kids that grew up in a family where motorcycle riding was the hobby were very lucky. I would see my neighbors leave on their motorcycles quite often, with kids in tow. As the kids grew, they started with their own motorcycles. Now that I am a mom myself, I enjoy it when the kids want to...more
Today, technology seems to make our lives better but we still have to remember that it can also take away our lives if we are not careful. According to studies, almost 75% of all teens in America own a cell phone and they are aware of the danger of texting while driving but they choose to do it regardless of the danger in it. Research found that 26% of all teens ranging from 16 to 17 years in America have texted and around 43% have talked on the cell while they drive. Around 48% of teens have witnessed others texting while driving which means they would consider it to be normal or accept the practice. State laws prohibit these activities but the laws are not enough to discourage these newly licensed drivers from using their cell phone. Its not just for the teens; even adults are not far away. In 2006 only 35% of adult texted while they drive but in 2009 the use of texting while driving has doubled. Texting while driving can put your life in danger but if that is not what you worry then, at least you should consider the lives of others. Texting can distract you from your driving focus. So what do you suppose we can make teens realize the danger in a clear way? The most possible...more

If your child still wets the bed after the age of six, feels pain when urinating, or behaves oddly (e.g., becoming shy or manifesting sexually suggestive behaviours), then it is recommended...more
This project is a truly unique kids party activity, combining fun, fantasy, and learning. Kids love getting their hands dirty and learning how things grow. They will also love the idea of making a magical garden place for a fairy to live. A miniature garden takes little space and can rest on a tabletop. Maintenance requires only a light misting from time to time and watching for fairies to come to call. Just kidding about that last part, but you never know... Start by collecting various containers such as woven baskets, large shallow bowls or deep dish clay saucers (like a birdbath), or even discarded bureau drawers. Check yard sales for innovative ideas and inexpensive materials. Next, supply potting soil and a selection of small plants that will reach under a foot when fully grown. Dwarf zinnias, marigolds, violets, ivy, baby's tears and sprigs of vinca are all good choices. There are many types of mosses that will work nicely too, fitting into corners and small areas easily to add texture and interest. A variety of low-growing herbs such as thyme and rosemary lend aroma to the mix as well. Start by lining your garden container with heavy duty plastic, fill to within an inch of...more
