Food & Drink > Restaurant Recommendations How to find vegan and vegetarian food on the road
3 of 11

I'm not a vegetarian. I just don't eat meat. And I'm from Montana. There are more cattle than people in this state and the cattle are not usually destined for petting zoos. On top of that, it's a large state and with family members from one end to the other, I'd have to say it's a pretty good place to hone your veggie hunting... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Discipline Strategies Arguments against spanking children
7 of 21

Spanking is probably the last subject one would expect to hear raised in a room full of single, twenty-something intellectuals drinking too much wine. Yet, that exact topic worked its way in amidst "foreign policy" and "local environmental campaigns" at a friendly gathering I recently attended. I was the only parent in the ro... More..

Hundreds of languages are spoken throu... More..

Celebrations & Holidays > Christmas How to avoid buying gender stereotypical gifts

My daughter is girly. Really girly. Her favorite color has always been pink. She pretended to talk on the phone before her vocabulary had exceeded six words. And my son? Ninety percent of the pictures he's drawn since he picked up a crayon are of cars and robots. He owns his own miniature screwdriver and uses it often. Why ar... More..
