Architects, Builders, and Lawyers...Oh My!
Our home selling, buying and moving saga continues...
“Hurry up and wait:” that pretty much sums up the past month. Hurry up, we need this form for the bank and the mortgage. And wait. Hurry up, the lawyers need this for the closing. And wait. Hurry up, we need a survey. And wait. Let’s meet with an architect to see if he can plan the renovations. And wait some more.
While we scurry around gathering paperwork like chipmunks gathering nuts for winter, we also have our kids to deal with. Our son does not want to move ...

Stop the Nighttime Scratching!
We don't do a whole lot of product reviews on Macaroni Kid, but every now and again, something crosses our radar that we just have to share. BeKOOL Itch Relief Patch is one of those things.
For a reason I've never understood, my daughter is a mosquito magnet. The entire family can be together at a picnic or BBQ and she will end the evening covered with bites while the rest of us emerge unscathed. She has awoken countless mornings with scabs from scrathing while she sleeps.

A review of the new book by MK contributor Noel Janis-Norton
Regular readers of Macaroni Kid will recognize Noel Janis-Norton from her monthly columns on our National edition. And hopefully regular readers will have used some of her tips and techniques with their own kids. I have, and I’ve seen good results.
Ms. Janis-Norton’s book, Calmer, Easier, Happier, Parenting: Five strategies that end the daily battles and get kids to listen the first time, is now available in the US after a successful launch in Great Britain (ever wonder why English kids seem so polite?!)

Introducing Kangu.org
Did you know that 1 out of 45 women die in child birth in some developing countries? That each day, 800 women die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth but that 90 percent of those lives could be saved with access to medical care and a clean birth environment? Did you know that a “safe" birth can be provided to many of these moms-to-be for about $250?
Neither did we.

Ode to Our Mothers
There is one special moment that made me realize what a wonderful woman my mother is.
I was giving birth to my fourth child and my husband was rushing from work to get to the hospital. Thank goodness my mother was there. She sat with me and told me stories of my childhood. She kissed my tears and reminded me of the miracle that was about to take place. She held my hands in hers and we cried as I gave birth to my daughter India.
It was one of ...
Outdoor Fun with Cool Toys
Or...bribe your kids to get off the couch
As the weather improves, it’s time to get our kids outdoors. Getting them away from the screen can be a challenge…give up Minecraft for two hours? Unthinkable! But we have a solution tried and true and used by parents for decades…bribe them. Here are some toys we’ve found that will be “positive tools” to get your kids to go outside and play.
First up, check out the Sky Ripperz from Zing Toys, a hand held “rocket” that you can launch up to 250 feet. It’s ...
