Question of the Day

How do you teach your kids to be eco-friendly?

Do you live "green"? Is it a top priority in your life to be eco-friendly? If so what steps to you take or how do you teach your kids to be eco-friendly?

I will admit to not always being the greenest person... but I strive to be better. Especially with a child, I want to lead by example and show him through our day to day living ways we can help our environment. And hope that, since he is young, these things will become second nature to him. Because I wasn't raised in a time where it was discussed, practiced... or even thought about.

So we would love to hear what things you do to teach your children to be eco-friendly?

Do you use cutsey nicknames when referring to your children's private parts?

Donna Chaffins

I've heard moms refer to their little boy's penis as their "little buddy" and "Jr" and little girl's vaginas as "kitty cats". And before I had my son, I said I would never use cute nicknames in place of the anatomically correct names. Yet, I do. My son knows he h... [More]

Yes, that was a long title, but I couldn't figure how to shorten it. We had to take Markus with us to the bank the other day, and he was pretty good until the last 15 minutes or so. We made the mistake of thinking he'd be satisfied with the games I had on my iPhone. The best laid plans ... [More]
