It seems ABC has got some major competition on their hands with the launch of ‘The Baby Bachelor.’ On a recent episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Jimmy debuted his new reality series, which stars his nephew Wesley, who yearns for a bride and a fire truck because he’s still a toddler.

Three! I come from a family of 3 girls, and I have 3 kids. If you’ve got two siblings, how about you all throw in a little extra for your Mother’s Day present this year. Because it turns out your mom had it WORSE than you realized. A new survey asked more than 7,000 mothers [...]

RIP Little Boy

Colleen O'Quinn — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:42:34 +0000

We adopted a cat from the Heart Of The Valley a couple of years ago. He was an instant part of our family. I’ve never been a cat person, and I loved him so much! He would cuddle with the dogs, let the kids haul him around, and loved to be brushed and cuddled. He [...]

Pottytraining can be frustrating, not to mention time consuming, cutting into precious minutes a toddler could be spending watching Dora the Explorer, but not anymore! Meet the iPotty, a training toilet with a built-in holder for an iPad so your toddler can use the restroom just like a grownup -- while playing Angry Birds and watching Netflix.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:25:53 +0000

If you're not in the know, a movie has been "sweded" when somebody does a low-budget recreation of it. Now that you know, look at these little kids doing all the movies nominated for Best Picture Oscars. While these are not the most faithful swedes we've ever seen, they are

10 Little Darth Vaders Too Cute to Go to the Dark Side

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:52:12 +0000

It seems like Darth Vader's turned a positive corner recently. He's become part of the Disney family after all, so maybe the whole hanging out with princesses thing is turning him into a softie. Or maybe he just got a bad rep all these years. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem like the Dark Lord is all that bad. Why? Well, these kiddos are proof.

10 Parents Playing Epic Pranks on Their Kids

2012 was a fantastic year for pranks. Remember that awesomely sassy 'Psh' joke or the adorable Mistletoe setup? We'll say it til we're blue in the face-- we love pranks! They just make life a tad bit more interesting. Now that 2013 has rolled around, we think there's no better way to welcome the year than by bringing you a whole new set of hilarious shenanigans.

10 Adorable Reactions on Christmas Morning

Cameron Simcik — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:04:21 +0000

On Christmas morning, there's nothing worse than getting a bad reaction to one of your presents. This is especially prevalent among the younger crowd, particularly those under age 12. Why? Well, the kiddos don't necessarily have an understanding of faking appreciation and re-gifting later, so it just comes off as bratty behavior.

10 Adorably Bratty Christmas Kids

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 21:26:58 +0000

Little kids are the best. They're pro photobombers and make super weird raps about McDonald's, and that's just scratching the surface. But munchkins can also be the worst. Don't get us wrong-- their adorableness usually overrides any of those 'tudes they try and pull, and you know how we're suckers for anything remotely adorable. But sometimes that awful side emerges in those rare moments of brattiness, and we're left sort of dumbfounded.

15 Kids Who'd Do Anything To Get Off Santa's Lap

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:40:38 +0000

One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we’re guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy. The whole thing is pretty impressive if you think abo

Happy Halloween! – Keep Our Kids Safe!

Colleen O'Quinn — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:14:25 +0000

My kids are so excited for Halloween, they’re bouncing off the walls! I know when we head out tonight, they won’t be as careful as usual about crossing streets and looking for cars. That’s one of the reasons we don’t let them go out alone. Another reason, is because there are so many creeps [...]

Drug Trends In Our Community – What Parents Need To Know

Colleen O'Quinn — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:49:54 +0000

I wasn’t able to make it to this last year, but I got several calls from friends who were shocked at what is happening in schools…and yes, that includes schools right here in SW Montana. The drug problems are starting as young as middle school. I talk to my kids about it, but I want [...]

20 Ridiculous Halloween Costumes for Kids

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:44:51 +0000

There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha! Although we're a little dumbfounded as to how this "everything is ridiculously adorable" thing actually happens, we can't help but be sucked into the cuteness every darn time. This is especially true when it comes to Halloween.

It’s rough being a two-year-old these days.

I just did most of my back to school shopping, so I believe this! 94 percent of moms surveyed for a new poll said they spend more on their child’s wardrobe than their own. According to the poll, a third of mothers would spend over $100 dollars on one item of clothing for their child, [...]
