By playing a simple multiple-choice game, you can help the World Food Programme fight hunger. In fact, for each answer you get right, Free Rice donates 10 grains of rice to help end hunger. Made possible through the site’s advertisers, the concept is simple: engage and educate people for free and end world hunger. You [...]

Love These Sites for a Good Laugh
Sunday, June 13, 2010
Occasionally when I can’t sleep, I like to troll the web for interesting and fully websites. Here are a few of my favorites:
Shit My Kids Ruined makes me laugh every time. Plus, it makes me feel so much better about my own mischief maker.
Awkward Family Photos has me laughing for hours. I especially like the mullets, [...]

What do you Think about the Ban on Peanuts?
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
I love this article from a Washington Post columnist who actually tries to understand the peanut allergy. Petula Dvorak (whose kids are not allergic to nuts) touches on a lot of interesting points, from what it’s like to live with a peanut allergy…always on the lookout for the invisible monster…to what it’s like when you [...]

In an earlier post I let you know how you can earn points or cash back by shopping online through rewards websites. Usually, I’m an advocate for Ebates because it seems to be the best site for earning cash back, but I’ve also mentioned MyPoints, Shop at Home, and Bing Cashback as well.

I recently read the article When Food Hurts from the Boston Globe, which details pretty much what I’ve been saying all along…doctors don’t know shit about allergies.
My little man started having chronic ear infections around age 1 when we switched him from soy formula to whole milk. We went through rounds and rounds of antibiotics, [...]
I Believed Babies R Us When they Told Me What I Needed
Friday, May 14, 2010
Parenting.com blogger Mighty Maggie asked readers if there is any one product (or even a Parenting Philosophy!) you so fully bought into that it’s actually surprising when you realize there are alternatives? (check out the post here)
I thought I’d chime in because I recently had my own revelation along these lines. To celebrate the launch of my site, [...]
