Quadruplets Laughing at Their Dad Will Make Your Weekend

Jon Prell — Sat, 18 May 2013 01:00:43 +0000

This video may not have any real social significance and it’s certainly not the most news worthy story of the day. However, with everything going on in the world today and on the nightly newscasts, sometimes we just need something to remind us that life is good and humanity can be a beautiful thing. The [...]

Wealthy Parents Are Paying Handicapped Tour Guides to Bypass Long Lines at Disney Parks – Really?

Jon Prell — Wed, 15 May 2013 19:30:43 +0000

Theme park ride lines like the ones at any Disney park can be excruciatingly long and frustrating, on that we all agree, right? Well, what if you could shell out some cash and go right to the front of the line? According to the New York Post, that is exactly what is happening, except this story has a little twist. The cash is being paid to handicapped tour guides, who pose as family members to get them straight to the front of the line in a matter of a couple of minutes.

Jon Prell — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:00:37 +0000

Today is Mother’s Day and rather than write about what most of us are feeling today, I thought I would just share this video Mother’s Day message for all moms to enjoy, but especially my mom who lives in California. There is a lot I could and I know should say to my mom today [...]

Leslie Expresses Love for Her Kids Through Music

Leslie Morgan — Sun, 12 May 2013 09:00:55 +0000

Today is Mother’s Day and mothers all over the country are receiving gifts. But for most mothers, like me, it’s not about the gifts or cards we get but the memories our children have given to us over the years. Some of my most precious memories involve music. With every one of my three children, [...]

Jon Prell — Sat, 11 May 2013 13:00:31 +0000

Mother's Day is tomorrow and hopefully, you are not waiting until the last minute to do something special for mom. My mom lives in California and I haven't seen her in almost nine years, which is about to change. My mom and my wife are the best mothers I have ever seen for so many reasons that would take a while to describe.

Toddler Water Skiing Is Incredible

Leslie Morgan — Fri, 10 May 2013 09:00:49 +0000

When I was growing up, not only did my uncle manage a public pool but my grandpa had a boat. My entire summer time existence revolved around the water. At 3-years-old, I was jumping off the high dive and to everyone's amazement ,swimming by myself to the edge to get out and do it again!

Now, water skiing was different; I LOVED tubing, but I never quite mastered the art of standing, feet strapped, on planks of wood and skimming the top of the water at very high speeds. But this toddler acts like it's no big deal. WOW!

What Is It Really Like To Be Mom?

Jon Prell — Thu, 09 May 2013 01:00:14 +0000

Mother's day is this Sunday and if nothing else, your mom deserves the acknowledgment for all that she does. Last year I posted an article about what being a mom is worth on the open market, which is about $112,000 per year. A mom's work is never done and sometimes...no, most of the time we take that for granted.

Daddy Diaries – When Should A Baby Start To Crawl?

Eric Cornish — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:30:28 +0000

When should a baby start to crawl? The answer to that is ‘when they are good and ready.’ I hear people say all the time ‘Well, my child crawled at 3 months’ or ‘Little Jimmy was walking and singing opera by 7 months.’ If you knew what my son went through, you’d just be glad [...]

Imagine if you put a video camera on your dashboard and it filmed everything you saw, every detail, even the things you over looked. What do you think you would see? Really see. Would it be good or would it be bad? Would you see people at their best or worst?? Amazingly, in a world [...]

Jason Aldean Haters Need to Chill

Jon Prell — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:00:45 +0000

Yesterday, we posted the story about Jason Aldean filing for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Jessica. First of all, let me say right off the bat that in no way shape or form am I going to defend Aldean in this post. Let me say that again, I am NOT defending Jason Aldean, but some of the things that are being said about him are very surprising.

Ashley Sollars — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 06:00:23 +0000

Fresh strawberries are one of the best parts of Spring! Finding them can be a little hard unless you know where to look - and we're not talking about the grocery store.

Its a great place to take the family on a day trip - especially since this weekend is the start of the annual Portland Strawberry Festival!

Proof You Shouldn't Leave Dad Alone With the Baby or Let Him Change Diapers

Leslie Morgan — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 22:32:35 +0000

Ok dad’s, I know you get a bad wrap. Nobody thinks you can handle a baby. Sometimes you don’t even get a chance to prove yourself. But when you do, it often turns out like this! Fun babies can only have with Dad… Dirty diapers smell but, gagging and protective clothing? REALLY?! We still LOVE [...]

Dog Cries On Owner's Grave Stone

Jon Prell — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 01:00:45 +0000

This may be one of the most powerful videos I have ever seen even though it is only 10-seconds long. Earlier this week I posted a video about a pug showing genuine human regret, which was funny. This video is the exact opposite, but a very strong reminder about the bond between pets and their owners.

Pets seem to have this uncanny ability to look so human and even display emotions and reactions just like we do. Bandit the pug shows genuine remorse and regret in the below video.

Toddler Answers the Burning Question – Who is Your Favorite, Mommy or Daddy?

Leslie Morgan — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 09:16:45 +0000

I can remember when when my daughter, who is now 21, started talking. And of course, her first word was, 'Ma'. Even though I knew that the reason for this was because of her lack of speech development, I still LOVED it. Her dad on the other hand, was NOT happy. He TOTALLY would have quizzed her just like this...
