In the early days of this site, I posted something about discussing “the birds and the bees” with your kids.

Though the video included was rather on the humorous side, I expressed how the husband and I plan to handle “the talk” when time comes that our kids ask the questions.

Of course, when it comes to raising kids, you can never be prepared enough. That’s why I’m so glad I found this guide to talking to kids about sex from Parenting.com.

Many people say that a wedding is a celebration of love between two individuals, so it’s just fitting that the wedding details represent the couple.

Among the many interesting things during our wedding, my favorite is our wedding cakes.

For most Western countries, September marks the start of another schoolyear. (School starts in June here in the Philppines.)

And to most parents, this is one of the times that they dread most. Dragging a kid fresh from summer break to school can be very challenging. I know, because I made sure I gave my mom a hard time during the first few weeks of school.

I reached a breastfeeding milestone yesterday.

I got tagged by Con. Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now.

Starts here.

It’s so simple. Copy the photo below then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF- LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.
