One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we’re guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy...

A nine-year-old Utah girl is making headlines (see above) for her amazing skill at football.

Jimmy "Man Who Hates Kids" Kimmel once again asked parents to tell their children that all of their Halloween candy had been eaten. And film it.

We've said this before, and we'll say it again-- puppies and kids are a match made in adorable heaven, especially when they're playing together. How do they pull it off? We have no idea, nor are we questioning.

Isn’t ice cream the best? We snag a scoop of Chunky Monkey or Mint Chocolate Cookie Dough and BAM! Our worries of the world are gone. It’s sugar magic at its finest. Even better is when kids get a hold of the tasty treat-- they’re in pure adorable bliss!

Springtown (Texas) High School sophomore Taylor Santos had a difficult decision to make after her teacher determined that she allowed a classmate to copy her work: she could either serve two days of in-school suspension, or get paddled.

Trampolines might seem like a fun way to keep kids entertained and in shape when they are at home. But according to an updated policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) their risks outweigh their benefits.

Saints wide receiver Marques Colston has been an inspiration since the seventh round draft pick arrived in New Orleans back in 2006. He's gone on to establish himself as one of the NFL's premier wide receivers. Now, he's helping teens turn their troubled lives around...

After a long, hard summer of chasing after kids, there's no better time for parents than the first day of school. As proof, check out this mom who literally dances in the street as her grumpy kids board a bus to start a new school year. Go mom!

Two young boys react to the ending of 'The Odd Life Of Timothy Green'--Spoiler Alert!  You won't believe your monitor when you see how these two kids react to the ending of the movie.

My niece got married over the weekend (it was a great wedding: Ramsey was beautiful, John was as handsome as all get-out) and my nephew, Lil John, was part of the ceremony. Before the ceremony began, we were backstage (oops!!  I mean, in the 'foyer') and they were getting Lil John dressed.

As the summer winds down you’re counting down the days to freedom. Admit it — you can’t wait for your kids to go back to school.

It’s everyone’s fear. You have it, we have it — but it’s inevitable. One day you’re going to look at yourself and realize that you’ve turned into what you hate the most…your parents.

Even though you love your kids dearly and want to spend time with them, the months that kids are out of school can be the longest of the year for any parent. The key to a peaceful summer household is keeping the kids busy and entertained.

Happy Mother's Day Acadiana!  I thought I'd re-post this in honor of Mother's Day 2012.  I have been told many times that children are special, but grand children or even more special.

Let me start this by saying that I am not a parent.  I am not condemning or condoning these parenting skills (or lack thereof, depending on your view), I am simply putting this out there for you to view and comment on.

I came across this video last night, and was holding my breath the whole time the kid was riding the escalator to the next floor. Here's what happened:  A young boy (10 or 11 years old) grabbed on to the handrail on an escalator and rode it to the next floor, but he was on the outside of the escalator, not on the steps...

Isn't it fun when something sweet and unexpected happens? Especially when it involves an adorably dressed toddler? This clip captures little Chloe after she discovered the escalator at a shopping mall in Boston and decided to say,"Bye" to everyone going down...

Here are a few things I'd like my kids to remember long after I have vanished from this Earth...

Okay, so this morning I was cruising around on the NEW and IMPROVED Facebook site, when one of my friends (Kristie Mire) posted a link to a video advertising the new "Doggie Doo" game, produced by Goliath Games (makers of Mad Mouse, Fast Food, Pop the Pig and Tomb of Doom, among others).  It is a scant :17 long, so I watched it.  And, much to my joyous horror (confusing, I know), this is
