The latest topic of conversation in cyberspace and beyond is a new breast-feeding babydoll called Bebe Gloton. It comes with a halter top that little girls can wear, and when the baby's mouth is pressed against the flowers that are strategically placed in the chest area, the baby makes nursing sounds.Posted August 14, 2009 - 08:05 by Jo-Lynne Shane

Going to my son's baseball games requires supernatural amounts of patience and perseverance because I have two younger daughters, and because my husband is one of the coaches, I am on my own with childcare duties.Posted May 11, 2009 - 19:02 by Jo-Lynne Shane
I hate homework. There, I said it. When I was a student, I hated homework. I did as little as I could to get by. When I was a 3rd grade teacher, I hated homework.

Do your children's closets look like the clearance rack at Old Navy -- overflowing with clothes of various sizes from all four seasons? Is your attic full of bags of outgrown clothes with no method to the madness? Do you buy clothes ahead and then forget about them because they got shoved into an obscure corner behind the Polly Pockets and the princess costumes?Posted February 16, 2008 - 17:31 by Jo-Lynne Shane
Do you ever feel like you want to live more naturally, but you don't know where to begin? How do you transition your family from McDonalds and take-out pizza to tofu and tempeh when your kids balk at the sight of anything new or unusual on their dinner plates? You've heard that household cleaners are toxic, but you could open a store with all the Chlorox and Soft Scrub in your cleaning arsenal.Posted February 13, 2008 - 22:00 by Jo-Lynne Shane
