These Adorable Backpacks Are Perfect For Kids Just Starting School

It’s not hard to find a good backpack for older kids with all kinds of pockets and compartments to carry the many things they need to tote to and from school every day. Preschool backpacks, on the other hand, need to be small and simple since the most a preschooler needs to carry at once is a lunchbox, a couple of art projects, and maybe a blanket for quiet time. Oh, and if it happens to have a cute pattern, that never hurts. Preschool-age kids are small, so they need backpacks that accommodate

These Sweet Tattoos With Kids' Names are Perfect For Moms

We all know that tattoos are permanent, so the more thought you put into them the more likely you are to still love them decades later. Among some of the best ideas are tattoos with kids' names for moms, because who could regret having their child’s name forever written on their skin?

Of those three, two of the

20 Free Jellyfish Coloring Pages You Can Print From Home

Kids often go through phases where they are totally enamored with different toys, activities, objects, and animals.

It Took Having A Baby To Finally Be Diagnosed With ADHD

For every overwhelmed new mother, there is a well-intentioned, veteran mom who assures her to hang in there, "It gets better.” At least, that’s what I was told, over and over, when I’d confess that, despite being treated for postpartum depression (PPD), I felt like I was drowning. So, I waited. I “hung in there.” But even as my baby approached her first birthday, the overwhelm didn’t fade, it intensified. I couldn’t keep up with my responsibilities, my patience was thin on a good day, and nonex
