I have personally been embarrassed by other friends kids when we all went out to dinner. The most shocking part is their parents just ignore it while everyone in the...
Host a Kid-Friendly Super Bowl Party
The key to a kid-friendly Super Bowl party is to have activities for the kids and to have someone available to do the activities with them! While some kids might like watching the game, many have little or no interest. If you are a mom who loves watching the game,...
