Without fail, each time I set up my kids to watch a children’s video on YouTube, they navigate to videos of kids and adults unboxing and playing with toys. And every time, I’m shocked at how many views these kinds of videos get – often in the millions, so I looked into why they’re so popular. Here’s what I found.
Some people swear by their crock pots, but I just don’t understand what’s so great about them. A fellow writer and I debate the pros and cons of slow cookers here because we all can use a break from serious political talk. What side are you on?
On a normal Friday night, after the kids go to bed, my husband and I will catch up on whatever shows we’ve DVR’d and enjoy some wine. In an ill-advised effort to mix it up (notice I didn’t say, “spice it up”), I bought a jigsaw puzzle of a beautiful Venetian landscape for us to complete together over our bottle(s) of red.
You know those moments when you’re doing an activity with your kids and you think to yourself, “How the hell are you still not getting this?” Well, if there are intelligent alien life forms out there watching over us, then they were definitely saying that about my husband and me that evening.” Click here to continue…

“While I can’t fathom some of the challenges that will come with raising tweens and teens, I’m pretty sure my future 13-year-old will be able to wipe her own butt, so when my kids hit these less publicized milestones, I plan to pop a bottle of champagne. Will you join me?”

“Imagine two playful cubs chewing on their mom’s ears, tugging on her furry back and batting at her nose while she’s trying to catch salmon for dinner. Every ounce of her is focused and engaged, partly on keeping her cubs out of the water, partly on protecting herself from all of the touching and partly on swiping at jumping fish. That’s basically what my daily life looks like with two small children.
Now, picture a deer strolling up to the mama bear and repeatedly telling her that all the rough-housing is distracting him from sipping the stream down river. She’ll eventually growl, “Get out of my face. I’m busy here,” and that’s sort of what happened to me on an airplane recently.
