There is never an easy time for losing a parent; whether you're 5 or 50 years old, when a parent dies, innocence dies with them.My father had been sick for many years, but was too stubborn to give in fully to the pain that was wracking his body. He refused to be tended to, saying that he didn't want to "burden" his family. He... More..

Thank You For Calling Tech SupportWe've all been there at some point. It's that dreaded point where your computer won't boot up, or your satellite has gone wonky, or any other number of things go wrong, and you realize that you've attempted to fix it on your own long enough. You've worn a worry path in the floor, you've broke... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News (Other) The importance of seeking a balance in positive news to combat the negative: 9 of 113
As a mother of two small children, I find it increasingly difficult to look forward to what our world has to offer them. Our society is bombarded with images of death, violence, drugs, and war both here and in Iraq. It seems we can't even find comfort in our faith anymore, as people will just as easily kill over their religio... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Toddlers How to teach toddlers responsibility through chores: 3 of 26

Taking the Child at Heart a Little Too Far...Is it normal to know every word to every song Disney has ever put in their movies?It snuck up on me. I worked in daycare for 3 years, plus I have 2 small children (5 and 3 years old), so that was my excuse for watching cartoons and buying every shiny toy that stuck out in a departm... More..
Health & Fitness > Fitness Basics Overcoming perfect body images: Finding a path toward fitness: 4 of 29
Here's a question for you - what is a "perfect body," anyway? There are millions of people on this planet, and no two of them look exactly the same. I remember being a cheerleader for a whole 5 minutes in high school, and watching the amazingly "perfect" girls stand in front of the mirror, pinching skin and comparing what I'm... More..

Life With FatherI had the best Dad in the world. He was kind, strong, supportive, witty, and intelligent - unfortunately, like most 13 year old girls, I was too caught up in my own self - image to notice. We all remember that stage; that stage where we had to be "cool" and our parents were nothing more than the goofy, embarra... More..

Relationships & Family > Married Life Women and sacrifice: 4 of 19
Women and sacrifice - whether a mother, a sister, a friend, a wife - we are the nurturers, instinctively giving of ourselves for the sake of those we care about. We sacrifice our sleep and sanity worrying about the safety of our children, we sacrifice our hearts to others in the hopes that some of it will be reciprocated; we ... More..
