When Should You Interfere Between Parent and Child?

We’ve all been there – we’re out running errands and in the midst of our shopping we hear a heated argument between a parent and child; the parent gets frustrated and decides to spank the child. We’re embarrassed to witness the scene and wonder whether or not we should intervene. More often than not, we’ll hide our face and scurry away as quickly as possible.

In most instances, ignoring the scene is probably the appropriate reaction. However, sometimes we’ll think back to the situation hours later and question whether our actions were best. Should we have stepped in and said something? Provide some wisdom to the parent, child or both? Or, maybe notify the store manager of the dispute?

This article will provide you some insight into unhealthy and abusive parent-child relationships, how to detect abuse and how to interfere. 

A Healthy Choice: Le Bleu - Ultra Pure Water - Healthy Bottled Water

You may be asking me, "what do you mean by a healthy bottled water, aren't all bottled waters healthy?"  Not really.  You will see in the video I provide below that nope, not all bottled waters are as healthy, and are not created equal.  It is news to me too, especially since there are so many options out there when buying bottled water for the family these days, and it never crossed my mind that some bottled waters are healthier than others. I would always go by the packaging, the price, or by the catchy name. 

Now, I definitely know that the only bottled water I will be buying from now on is Le Bleu because it is a healthier choice for my family: it is ultra pure water, contains no contaminants and it is pure H₂0 - you can't ask for anything better!

We Like it a Latte, and You?

Who does not enjoy a nice coffee at any time? My favorite time of the day is really as soon as I wake up. In a summer hot day though, I like it iced and any time. Don't you like to refresh with a nice iced latte too? Now, Seattle's Best Coffee offers us a nice option to feel that splash of coolness.

Tips on Choosing Your Auto Transport Provider

When making a big move to a new home, whether ten minutes down the road or all the way across the country, the process can be one full of difficulties and stress for mothers. There are all sorts of variables that are often left to Mom to be ironed out. Things such as getting everything packed up in just the right way, figuring out the travel plans for the family, and getting everything set up in the new home (getting the kids into a new school, finding a new insurance provider, and even setting up your basic utilities), are only a few difficulties a mother might run into.

Tip on How to End the Hair Battle with Your Little Daughter

I think every mom who has a little girl has had a hair battle at the time of getting her ready to go out.  I have been there so many times. Brushing my little girl's long hair is something I do not look forward to every morning.  A nice motherly and caring act becomes a battle with screams, temper tandrums, defiance, etc.  It drives me crazy to the point that many times I just have left my daughter completely with wild hair to avoid that hair battle and set me off on the wrong spirit to start off my day.
