I just saw a disturbing report. Parents take note.

Kids start watching porn from as early as the age of 6, and begin flirting on the Internet from the age of 8, according to a survey of over 19,000 parents worldwide.

What's more, kids are accessing instant messaging and computer games at a much younger age than just a few years ago. At the extreme, 3.45% of kids covered in the analysis used Instant Messaging to chat with friends while 2% of computer game addicts were just 5 years old. More Here...

Social Power lets YOU find an issue and help spread the word to your social following (think Facebook and Twitter) to help find a resolution. For us moms, there are so many issues that we face on a daily basis that we could turn to Social Power for some help.

We thought of one issue that we hope many of you can agree on - universal sizing for children's clothes! Think about it - one brand's 6 months is not the same as anothers. How much easier would it be for both our sanity and our wallets if every brand had the same measurements and sizing to follow? So we thought we'd try this site and see what happens with our idea. More Here...

There's a story floating around... Maybe you've seen it on Facebook, maybe you haven't. I'm not usually one to get hooked into the "One Million Likes to Save..." type of link, but this story was interesting to me because I could see both sides. 

There's a family with three kids and a yellow lab.  "Phineas" is well behaved, playful, lovable, trained and has never been anything but a joy to all.  One day, Phineas and his three family kids are playing in the back yard, when a neighbor child, who is there often came over to play too. By accident, the neighbor child fell ONTO the family child and Phineas, went over and "mouthed" her side. Of course this frightened the little neighbor girl. There was no skin broken, there WAS bruising however and the mom of the family saw the whole thing from her kitchen window and was there with the little girl immediately. Phineas, as the family claims, had NO intention to hurt the little girl, but was merely protecting his family member and perhaps mouthed her to get her off or to help her up.

We can't know for sure. We weren't there and we are not dogs.

However, the neighbor kid's parents took their child in to an Urgent Care for treatment and the Center was obligated to call Animal Control and long story short, Phineas was taken away. It has now been nine months that Phineas has been locked up as his family fights to get him out and either bring him home or find him a better place.

Okay. I'm a dog person. I love dogs, have owned dogs all of my life. I had my dog for 12 years when my first child was born and I would literally bet my life that my dog would never, EVER hurt my son. On the flip side of that, I have a good friend, who was walking with her 4 year old little girl and stopped to chat with their neighbor and pet his dog as they had done a million times, but this day, something my friends little girl did or maybe she smelled a certain way, but when she squatted and put her hand out like she was taught to do, the dog lunged at her and tore off half of her face and her left ear before her mom even knew it was happening. We will never know what happened. We will never know what it was that day that made the dog snap. More Here...

The next day after school, my son tells me that Lisa got TWENTY dollars from the tooth fairy! "Whaaaaat?" I said. Surely he was mistaken. This was the age when he would tell me that cars were really expensive, "Like a hundred and two dollars mom." Yes. I would say. Sure. So, I was certain that he misheard the correct amount, but he was adamant. I let it go. Until the bustling and mumbling of the other moms, standing at the door the next day after school and all of them sharing the same story. Lisa, the newly toothless little girl was the daughter of a friend of mine, so I asked her about it. "Lisa! Congratulations! Did the tooth fairy come?" And sure enough the tooth fairy came and indeed left her twenty bucks. WTF, man? Lol. Knowing the mom, I was certain something went wrong and I defended her amongst the gaggle of angry parents, knowing that when their kid finally loses their tooth, that the 2 bucks they were planning to leave was only going to be a disappointment. Now, I'm not afraid of my kids experiencing a little disappointment, don't get me wrong, but nobody wants to have to explain to their 5 year old, why the tooth fairy jipped them. More Here...
