Baby showers: Not just for mom anymore

There is a new party on the horizon. In celebration of your baby, you might sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy all the fun and frivolity that is your baby shower. But wait, because you aren't the only one who wants to be the center of attention.

Daddy Diaper Parties are a new way for men to celebrate impending fatherhood. Cancel the cute games, get rid of the cake, and break out a brewski, because a 'Dadchelor' party is all about relaxing and getting in touch with your inner Dad.

Because a few people have asked how I ended up working from home

After three years of speculation, Casey Anthony is not guilty

Nothing makes me feel more ill than someone hurting their children. Although a jury passed a not guilty verdict today in the Casey Anthony trial, it still remains that she got away free and clear after possibly murdering her child. At the very least, even if the story she concocted about the accidental drowning is true, she is guilty of being one of the most horrendous mothers to walk the planet. There is no way to be impartial when you are reporting such a story, no way to gloss over the fact that justice has diminished the memory of a defenseless 2 year old baby girl.

So what happens to Casey Anthony now? Not much. Check out the Article on Survive Parenthood Magazine.
