Finding content that is appropriate for children can be very challenging for parents.  Sites like Youtube and Vimeo contain lots of great content, but much of it is not appropriate for children.  We stumbled onto a site called Kideos.com.  Kideos is the premier destination for kids to safely watch videos online. Each video on Kideos has been screened by their Video Advisory Council before it makes it onto the site.

It can be difficult sometimes to find free or affordable things to do with your children in the winter, especially if you live in a cold state. 

After a divorce or separation, creating holiday traditions can become very difficult.  Both parents want to spend as much time with the children as possible.  For this reason, it is a good to create stable patterns that a child can come to depend on.

While doing some browsing, we came across a site called the hot toys of 2009.  The thing that makes this site neat is that the have a listing of all of the most in demand toys with where they are still available.

While I am a strong advocate of shared parenting - it worked very successfully for me - I do not believe it's the right or only answer for everyone. Because every situation is different when it comes to divorce, I certainly don't believe legislation should be determining child custody outcomes for any family. These are issues that caring, conscious parents should be deciding together with only one goal in mind - the very best interest of their children.

Are child custody evaluations helpful?  Most parents figure out custody and co-parenting out on their own. Unfortunately, there are situations where one party is extremely difficult or there are extraordinary issues that prohibit the cooperative process. In these regrettable situations, a third party (often a psychologist) is the only solution to help the divorcing or co-parenting parents come to an agreement. The prevailing custody standard is "in the best interest of the child."
