February 21st, 2009 · Comments Off · Kids and Pets

Who Makes The Rules?
January 31st, 2009 · Comments Off · Kids Activities
We teach our kids early on the importance of team sports in their lives. By the age of 5 most children a involved in a team sport or group activity. Mom, dad, I am sure you proudly recall watching your first born playing soccer at the age of 5. The rules are simple. Everyone plays and nobody loses. Funny how the game always seems to end in a tie. Your little guy chases the ball mixed into a cluster with the other children. It\’s wild kicking in that cloud of kids. Thank goodness for shin guards! With time and practice your child continues to improve and quickly develops some real athletic talent.

Body Lice – How To Protect Your Family
January 24th, 2009 · Comments Off · Kids and Pets
Lice can become a personal health issue in one of three ways.
