Is This Normal In A 10 Month Old?Posted by Lorren on September 22, 2007
My 10 month old baby is under the 5th percentile for weight, yet he eats like it’s going out of style. He routinely goes through 3 stage 2 jars of baby food for lunch, eats Cheerios for breakfast (probably more than his 5 year old sister), and for dinner he almost always eats more [...]
Infant Shot Execution Style In Armed RobberyPosted by Lorren on September 18, 2007
Here’s one for the sick-and-twisted-morality file: a man and his infant son were shot dead during an armed robbery.
Police believe that the baby’s father drove to his friend’s house, left the baby in the car, and ended up running into the robbers instead. The robbers shot him, and on their way out, they decided [...]
What Should We Do With Anchor Babies?Posted by Lorren on August 23, 2007
The subject of anchor babies has been in the news lately, as Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant known for taking sanctuary inside a Chicago church, has been recently deported. She has already been deported once, and has an 8 year old son, Saul. Saul is an American citizen, and his mother chose to [...]
Talking To Kids About TragedyPosted by Lorren on August 4, 2007
Today Way Of The Master Radio was talking a little bit about responses to the bridge collapse. I guess some psychologists were talking on the radio, saying that you need to shield your kids from this sort of thing so that they don’t get scared.
I’ve never really had that mentality with my daughter. [...]

If you want to check to see if your child’s toys are affected, you can check with this link.
I’ve written on China and all the recalls that have been coming out of there lately, so I don’t think I need to [...]
Baptist Seminary Offers Homemaking Degree… Controversial?Posted by Lorren on July 23, 2007
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is going to start offering a degree in homemaking this fall, aimed at pastor’s wives. I think that it’s a great idea, personally. However, I guess not everyone thinks that it is such a hot idea. One Baptist blogger nearly “shot Diet Coke out of his nose” after [...]
Sex Education for Kindergarteners?Posted by Lorren on July 20, 2007
The other day, Senator Barak Obama told a group of Planned Parenthood members that he supported sex education for Kindergarteners.
Now, I don’t believe in lying to children. Before ds was born, I bought my daughter a Happy Family Midge doll (you know, the Barbie doll with the baby in the belly). She is [...]
Really SadPosted by Lorren on July 6, 2007
I was snooping around the Gerber web site, trying to find out where their products are made, and I came across some really depressing statistics:
Soda is being served to infants as young as 7 months.
Nearly 25% of children ages 19-24 months don’t eat a single fruit or vegetable in a day
French fries are the most [...]
