4-Year-Old Mayor Is the Cutest Politician You Will Ever See

Drew Weisholtz — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:00:35 +0000

Experience isnâ€™t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine. The mayor of teeny, tiny Dorset, Minnesota (population 22) is a four-year-old boy named Robert â€œBobbieâ€ Tufts. We donâ€™t know if his senior advisor is Rubber Duckie or if he pledged naptime for all citizens, but Bobbie won the coveted [...]

Cameron Simcik — Sun, 12 May 2013 06:52:12 +0000

When it comes to this whole life thing, kids pretty much reign supreme. OK, so they're not really good at being flower girls or staying awake while eating, but who cares! Kiddos know how to be awesome, and we're here to prove that point even further.

What Motivates You? [POLL]

Jackie — Tue, 07 May 2013 12:27:30 +0000

Getting motivated can be a difficult thing, especially if you are trying to make yourself mow the lawn on your only day off. Even the most motivated people I know have struggled with motivation and I constantly find myself trying to motivate my son to do his homework. I have ran out of ideas so [...]

You Are the Average of the Five People You Spend the Most Time With

Jackie — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:13:51 +0000

My dad always told me, "You are what you hang out with", so this makes perfect sense to me. According to Addicted2Success you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So if you hang out with burned-out losers, ultimately they'll drag you down, if they haven't already.

Why Kids Need Superheroes

Terry Morgan — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:33:30 +0000

There is a moment in the most recent 'Man of Steel' movie trailer that actually made me feel young. Early in the trailer we see a young Clark Kent playing in the tall grass on a perfect summer evening with his red hero cape on. It seems that even heroes dream of being heroes.

And it made me think of myself in the 1980's: watching the original Richard Donner 'Superman,' running around in the red cape my mother made me, and dreaming of being a hero.

Stephanie McMaster — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 06:41:24 +0000

Pottytraining can be frustrating, not to mention time consuming, cutting into precious minutes a toddler could be spending watching Dora the Explorer, but not anymore! Meet the iPotty, a training toilet with a built-in holder for an iPad so your toddler can use the restroom just like a grownup -- while playing Angry Birds and watching Netflix.

Is 3 Years Old Too Young For School? [POLL]

Jackie — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:20:50 +0000

My youngest son is turning 3 this summer which means he may be ready for pre-school. My older son was not ready for school when he was 3 so I am really on the fence about sending my youngest to school. Part of me wonders if pre-school at the age of 3 is even beneficial.

Should The U.S. Adopt Finland's 'Baby Box' For New Parents?

Stephanie McMaster — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:07:40 +0000

When it comes to maternity leave, The United States earns a pretty dismal ranking when compared to other countries, being the only first-world country, and one of only three countries (the others being Lesotho, Swaziland and Papua New Guinea) that does not offer paid maternity leaves. Not only do other countries have better systems in place for maternity leave, but they have some pretty great welcoming gifts for their newest citizens. In Finland, for example, new parents can choose between receiving the above maternity package filled with essentials for baby's first few months or a tax-free lump sum of 140 euros as a maternity grant.

It's all about the reaction. You have to watch this girls reaction to burning her hair off while making a tutorial on how to curl hair.

Toddler Helps Dad Teach You the Fundamentals of Fighting

Emerald Catron — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:03:08 +0000

If you can get past the initial nose picking in this video, you’re in for a pretty good time. We don’t think that repeatedly karate chopping the back of someone’s hand is necessarily the best way to disarm a person with a knife, but it’s funny because it’s a baby who is dressed up like [...]

10 Little Darth Vaders Too Cute to Go to the Dark Side

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:52:12 +0000

It seems like Darth Vader's turned a positive corner recently. He's become part of the Disney family after all, so maybe the whole hanging out with princesses thing is turning him into a softie. Or maybe he just got a bad rep all these years. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem like the Dark Lord is all that bad. Why? Well, these kiddos are proof.

It's Tuesday, so you probably need a good cry. Here, watch this video. It's children from Sandy Hook Elementary performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on 'Good Morning America.' The kids recorded the song, with folk musician Ingrid Michaelson, at the home of former Talking Heads members Tina Weymouth and Christ Frantz.

Adorable Kid Goes Wild on Xylophone in Class Concert

Emerald Catron — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:10:23 +0000

If only something this entertaining happened at every primary school band concert. Usually it’s just kids blowing half-heartedly into recorders while the audience longs for the sweet release of death. But not this time. This time there is a xylophone bashing maniac onstage, and it is the most glorious thing we’ve ever seen. We’re not [...]

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:00:09 +0000

2012 was a fantastic year for pranks. Remember that awesomely sassy 'Psh' joke or the adorable Mistletoe setup? We'll say it til we're blue in the face-- we love pranks! They just make life a tad bit more interesting. Now that 2013 has rolled around, we think there's no better way to welcome the year than by bringing you a whole new set of hilarious shenanigans.

Should Kids Have To Wait Outside For The Bus When It's Two Degrees? [POLL]

Jackie — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:42:32 +0000

Extreme temperatures have hit The Magic Valley. People are bundling up before they go outside and if you are not bundling your kids up at this point you just might be evil. I saw a bunch of kids waiting at a bus stop yesterday. All of the kids looked extremely cold and one little boy didn't have a coat on.

Watch This Kid's Priceless Reaction to His Christmas Present

Kyle Dowling — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 11:00:58 +0000

The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.

Little Girl's Tears Turn into Laughing Fit at Doctor's Office

Tom Blunt — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:30:10 +0000

Nobody likes going to the doctor, but this child’s natural fear response transforms into gales of laughter when the doctor begins working in a ticklish area. In case you’re squeamish, the procedure was just bit of callus scraping around a plantar wart â€”Â nothing too serious! The little girl’s split-second transitions from crying to laughing to [...]
