With nine million litres of Roundup sold each year all over the world, the American agrochemical group Monsanto holds a world record. For the first time, a study led by Gilles-Eric Séralini from the French Committee of Independent Research and...
What a proud parent does?
02/23/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
So, there’s the looming talk of “candy at school” but thus far my son doesn’t seem to be any the wiser about how the whole “no more candy” came to be. I’m trying to be objective, I’m trying very hard not to be immature and send...
To prove I’m not the perfect parent
02/23/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
My children are having a hard time with the fact that their mommy has been gone quite a bit lately. And, I’m home now with no chance of traveling for quite some time and hopefully, if I do travel in May, I can at least take one of the kids...
Cooking with Kids
02/22/2009 by Katie Mientka @ parentingtoddlers.net
Bo is a great helper.I love to make cookies with Peanut. It's our fun mother/daughter activity. For a while, every time she took a nap, she'd ask if we could make chocolate chips when she woke up. The problem with chocolate chip cookies is that...
Sleep: A Chance to Dream and For Mom to Get a Break
02/21/2009 by Katie Mientka @ parentingtoddlers.net
I love sleep. It is in my top five of favorite things to do. Having a baby kind of ruins this though! The Little Guy is slowly getting better at sleeping. Many mornings, he's out cold at around seven or seven-thirty. I can lie in bed and just...
So, I really hate to complain but candy? Really?
02/21/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
Here’s the deal. You all know that my son is a talker and that thus far his teacher has been more than a little bit receptive to the fact that he NEVER.SHUTS.UP. She seems to be unscathed by his delirious talking spells. Yes, he...
Ok, so let’s talking Parenting…mmmkay?
02/21/2009 by Jerri Reason @ parentingsites411.com
Ok, so yea, I get it, I’m a parent but not everyone wants to hear me tell parenting stories. So, I figure, I’ll give you one little parenting story and then guide you in the direction of some folks that can tell you a little more about...
Do You Pull Up?
02/20/2009 by Katie Mientka @ parentingtoddlers.net
The other day, I was working. I really was. I was doing some research, and I happened upon an article about Tori Spelling. She talked about her son, Liam's, potty training process. Here's a bit of the article:He's in the trenches and started his...
Electroshocking Toddlers?
02/20/2009 by Candy Hollowell @ momssoapbox.com
American psychiatry still regards electroconvulsive therapy as a respected treatment, even for kids. Although ECT for young children is nowhere near as common as for adults, most U.S. states do not prohibit ECT for kids. California prohibits ECT...
Babies having babies.
02/20/2009 by Lessa @ parentingteensblog.com
Mama always said that she was a 'baby that had a baby' when she got pregnant with me a mere WEEK after her wedding to Papa. She and I still look like sisters (I'm the YOUNGER one, dammit!), and we often joke that we grew up together, because, well,...
100 Most Common Sight Words
02/20/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
Ok, so you know, my son is reading and we are slackers around here. We let him read what he wants more so than just doing his “sight words” homework. Which in some cases is bad, I know. We are setting up some bad habits. ...
Planet Ahead - Get it?
02/19/2009 by Lessa @ parentingteensblog.com
So, in my many many hours that I spent bopping around the internets, I come across some pretty interesting sites sometimes, and this one is no different. I don't even remember how I got there, but in one of my random link-clicking sprees, I happened...
What Did She Say?!
02/19/2009 by Katie Mientka @ parentingtoddlers.net
I had to share this with you. Today, I had a much-needed day off. My partner and I are trying this little experiment to see how it works; we look at his work schedule and then schedule our own days off. He goes ice fishing or pursues other very...
Big Boobs
02/19/2009 by Candy Hollowell @ momssoapbox.com
From "Women Have Boobs -- Get Over It" By Samara Ginsberg:I liked my breasts when they first appeared. I was a 28A for a long time and, while I felt a little self-conscious about these new additions to my physique simply by virtue of the fact that...
Typealyzer – Mom is Teaching tries to Entertain
02/19/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
Some of the little sites out there are not very impressive to me. You know, I really don’t care what my Twitter Grade is but just in case you care, lol, I went to Twitter Grader to see what kind of grade I have right now, but again…who’s...

Shoes…
02/18/2009 by Bryan Comer @ sympathypain.com
For Jack, it was…and still is…anything in his size that is cheap…buy them. Pretty much, as long as they are not pink or have Dora on the side, they are fair game. Now, he will wear shoes for me that he won't for his mom, but I think that's...

TAPS
02/18/2009 by Candy Hollowell @ momssoapbox.com
Of all the military bugle calls, none is so easily recognized or more apt to render emotion than the call Taps. The melody is both eloquent and haunting.Taps began as a revision to the signal for Extinguish Lights (Lights Out) at the end of the day....
Your Map interactive…
02/18/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
Ok, so I know I haven’t been very homeschool friendly necessarily lately but I did try with the Valentine’s crafts. But, now, now I must make my admission of geography illiteracy. I am not kidding you. Once while on vacation...
Snazzy Baby Products
02/17/2009 by Erinn @ reviewingbabygear.com
Every mom I know loves baby gear products that are simple and make our lives easier. What you need versus what big baby stores lead you to believe you need are usually two different things. I am highlighting two products today that are not...
TV
02/17/2009 by Katie Mientka @ parentingtoddlers.net
The other day I wrote about playing with toddlers, so it's only fitting that I should write about not playing with your toddlers. TV. In some households, it's a dirty word. In others, it's a constant companion. I'm guessing most of us lie...

Back on the Public School Side of Education
02/17/2009 by Jerri Reason @ momisteaching.com
If you have children that are of school age and you don’t homeschool, you need to find yourself a copy of Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish’s book, The Case Against Homework and you can find much interest in other places such as Experts say homework...
Housekeeping!
02/16/2009 by Lessa @ parentingteensblog.com
I'm not the best housekeeper, much to my mama's dismay. (Have you entered her contest yet? Hurry!) Things pile up, we sift through piles, we rearrange them, we sometimes (rarely) toss them, its.. well. Let's just say I'm a packrat that married a...
