Danielle Herzog: Ever have to stifle laughter over something your kid said?

Here are five hilarious comments my daughter said in the past week.


Brier Jirka: This is your brain on sex

Don’t turn to a quick-fix prescription at the first sign of sexual trouble. Look at these contributing factors first.


Jill Koegel: What eggs and cigarettes have in common

A study suggested eggs might be as bad for you as cigarettes. So what can we eat anymore?


Jenny Razor: The choice to do a natural childbirth

This post isn’t about anyone’s choices of how to give birth to their children. It’s about challenging the narrative.


Jessica Brashear: The Top 3 things I learned from my Dad

I have countless fond memories of ways Dad made me feel loved, made me laugh, and sheltered me from hurt.


The Sassy Housewife: Fed up with flirting mom hitting on my husband

She does it right in front of me and thinks it’s funny. My husband thinks I’m overreacting. What do you think?

Now that school’s back in session, we got to thinking about our own days in the classroom and those awkward photos of unforgettable moments.

We asked readers to submit their back-to-school memories and photos, of course.

Mom blogger Cat Koehler and I provided a few. (Stop laughing.)

Some were endearing. Others were random.

But they all made us crack a smile.

school bus safety

Now that children are back to school more big yellow buses are on the roads.

I get so frustrated watching reckless drivers whip around them in a hurry.

“Slow down,” I’ll shout.

When really I’d like to chase after speedy drivers neglecting to stop for school buses with a broom or newspaper. Yes, I’ve become a crabby mommy.

Riding a school bus can be fun for children, but it can also be dangerous if drivers don’t follow school bus safety rules.

What does summer buy us? Space. Time. A chance for students and teachers to relax.

KidNutrition

Moms have known this for years. Healthy foods = Smart children.

Now a study confirms that.

Better nutrition (especially at breakfast) improves academic performance and social functioning in school.

Make breakfasts rich in zinc, iron, potassium and calcium such as peanut butter, leafy greens and lean turkey or chicken.

I’m hoping my kids learn to manage time better than I do.
