I have to follow up and point out the irony of this post on the heels of a recent UN and UNICEF reports showing that: * 200 million children in the world have stunted growth due to und...

A to headline: Because it teaches kids to waste food.

I guess I'm a grinch, because I hate it.

I love this color combo! The pops of turquoise are so pretty. I also really like that Rosie won't outgrow this room in a year... it has a good mix of little kid and "big girl" elements.

I read the link and it says that 43% of six to nine year olds wear lipstick. Can that possibly be true? The article says this is not about playing dress up, but rather that cosmetics are being mark...

What a wonderful, handsome face on this little guy. Happy birthday!

Lovely! So cheerful. And a wonderful story too. I'm glad the birth mother picked you.

What a happy room to see on this rainy day. Lovely.

LoveLamp, play nice with the people who actually contribute to this board.
