I'm all for art and freedom of expression, but I draw the line when art manipulates kids for its own purpose. Case in point: a New Jersey photographer recreated key scenes from The Walking Dead using a group of 24 young children - including her own kids, aged three and five.
Finding out your child has special needs is certainly one of life's major curveballs, but it isn't a Shakespearean tragedy. A Florida mom has struck back at a doctor who repeatedly suggested she abort her baby with Down Syndrome (DS).
Mom-of-three Courtney Baker penned the viral letter to a prenatal specialist who, instead of reassuring her that things would be OK, told her the future would be bleak and advised her to terminate the pregnancy.
It's not every day that your child forms a close bond with the local sanitation worker. But for a set of two-year-old triplets from Florida, that friendship has been going strong since the tots would watch the men working from the confines of their stroller.
It's summer, and with the sunshine comes the ubiquitous footwear of choice: Crocs.
Ever since the rubber clogs came on the scene in Florida back in 2002, some crazy 300 million pairs have sold in 90 countries. So it just goes to shoe (I mean, show) that aesthetics play no part whatsoever in footwear.
Crocs are comfy and ugly as sin, plus - the real plus - they are water-friendly for those who find themselves chasing a toddler in and out of the local splash pad.
Picture it. You're out with your newborn enjoying your first solo breakfast at a restaurant when he suddenly needs to nurse. So you start breastfeeding. An older woman catches your eye and starts to walk over. Oh, no, here we go, you think. You fully expect her to tell you to cover up or try to shame you for feeding your baby in public.
Instead, the strangest thing happens. The woman sits down across from you and starts cutting up your breakfast for you so you can still eat while you breastfeed!
