Reading, Riding and Railways
March is National Reading Month and very few themes have captured the imaginations of authors and readers alike as much as the railways.
From the talking trains of bed-time stories to the magical trains of children’s books, to the mystery trains of detective novels, there is no question that the railroad, from its earliest beginnings to the present day, has played a special role in fiction.
In the early days of the railroad, trains were both exciting and frightening to many and often embodied the negative aspects of the industrial age. By the turn of the Century, More >

Education Tips: Raising a Caring Child
Reinforcing positive attitudes such as respect, empathy and caring begins by teaching children the how and why behind actions and emotions. Parents and caregivers can start these lessons by talking about feelings and consequences at even the earliest age.
Kiddie Academy’s Claire Haas offers the following age-appropriate tips for teaching empathy:
18 month – 2 year old:
Children this young simply do not feel empathy for others, or easily express their emotions.
Tip: Talk about how your child’s actions impact other people. Lay the groundwork by More >
Did Colts owner Jim Irsay make the right decision?

So, while everyone is consumed with following the Peyton Manning Free-Agency World Tour – Late Night Parents is interested in discussing how Jim Irsay placed a figure four leg-lock and effectively wrestled back his organization. You can call it a rebuilding phase or just “plain” cleaning house. Is it a re-tread story of the billionaire owner knowing more than his football operations staff and firing everyone on staff or is it about re-claiming the “horseshoe”. Irsay and his newly minted general manager Ryan Grigson continue to mention the Colts are “still not out of the woods” and no one More >

Republicans Bash Single Moms. Single Mom Bashes Republicans.
91 year ago
Yesterday I came across an article on the Internet that sickened me. It revealed that during his US Senate campaign in 1994, Republican Rick Santorum warned voters of a growing menace and evil wandering the streets of America: single mothers.
Those that know me well can attest that it isn’t easy to disgust a woman like me, but reading the ignorant and blanketed ramblings of Rick Santorum regarding single moms made my head spin.
Why? Because I am a single mom. And a damn good one.
According to transcripts from a town meeting in 1994, Santorum spewed the following: “Most people agree a More >
GYMPACT: Fitness Fees

in Sports
Here’s a new gym app that charges fees for missed workouts and compensates you for showing up. Do you think you’d be more likely to go? The technology was developed by CEO Yifan Zhang and uses GPS technology to confirm you’re at the gym.
12% of new gym memberships are started in January. Clubs tend to see an increase of 30-50%.
Here’s how It works:
- Sign up
- Set your pact
- Check in at the gym
- You will receive a reward or pay a fine
Zhang’s behavioral economics premise is that the sting of losing money for missing a visit and the promise of collecting money for going is enough to keep you on More >

My six month old son is on the larger side. According to this website he would be a healthy weight if he was 11 months old. It doesn’t matter if he’s drinking breast milk (I’m curious if there are varieties kinds of milk other than breast…actually, I’m not – don’t answer that) or formula, the kid would loves him some eating. Although some people may be look at him and think, “Your kid is huge!” I’m not too worried – the kid just loves to eat (is it still eating when it’s from a bottle?), plus he’s sleeping great now that he’s put on the weight!
