I think the reason I like babies so much is they don't need words to explain their world to you. They can do it all with the most incredible facial expressions. Moms especially, are quite keen on learning to speak the unspoken language of the little one...

I think the only thing better than seeing the smiles on the faces of families in videos like these will be seeing the smiles on the faces of families when all of our deployed service personnel have safely returned home from duty. This video captures a magic moment when a little brother is surprised by the return home of his older brother from active duty. ...

I don’t know how many times I have told my wife, “I will NEVER do that again.” I am sure at the time I said it I really meant it. But in this case, I can say with all honesty, these are things that I will NEVER DO AGAIN because they won’t be around for me, or you, to do any way. Here are some of my fo...

I don't care what kind of day you are having, if you watch this video it will become a much better day. Science is amazing! Especially when it gives this sweet baby a gift that we all cherish, the sound of his mother's voice. I must admit I got a little weepy watching this...

People love to put babies in strange places, they do that with dogs too, but it's a bigger concern for me when it's a child. This might look like harmless fun but we all know sooner or later "down will come baby cradle and all". When that happens will it be the parents that get the reprimand ...

Sea salt, energy drinks, low fat... you gotta be careful not to be sucked in to the "pitch" of the food manufacturers! The more you know, the better you do. One thing I have learned is to shop around the OUTSIDE perimeter of the store. That's where the good-for-you stuff is.

I am very blessed to have two healthy children. I have a son who is 16 and a daughter who is 13 and thinks she is 25. I like to think that I am a good enough soul that I love them exactly for who they are and not what I think they should be. However, the question has been raised if you could choose the gender of your child, but you can only have one, which would you choose? Here is what a recent G

Dad's are full of .....advice, yeah lets go with advice. I can say that because I am a Dad and sometimes I don't listen to the advice I give my kids. That is when things usually go horribly wrong. Like that time Dad decided to show the kids how to really have fun on the trampoline...

I am registered with the National Marrow Donor Program. So is Jude, so is Krista, so is Tracy, so are many of the people who work here at 97.3 The Dawg. We want you to become a registered Marrow Donor too. Why register? Your bone marrow could be the miracle match countless thousand of people are looking for to save their lives. Two of our St Jude Kids need bone marrow tranplants, one has found a m

Money, it's transportation, it gets you where you want to go. The more you have the faster you can get there. It doesn't make you smarter but you can sure seem like a dummy if you don't know how to watch your pennies. Your kids need to know about money too. Oddly enough, keeping them without money is not the best way to teach them responsibility. You need to be upfront and truthful with your child

There are a lot of things you can purchase if you are a new parent. A vast majority of those things are basically useless and will take up space in your home until you have that garage sale when your child is older. We have found on Yahoo a great bit of information that every new Mom and Dad need to know, the items and gadgets that are a MUST have and the ones you can live without.

I should also add to that headline, Chore Wars: How you can get your kids to help around the house without having to yell, scream or threaten them with bodily harm. I remember as a kid we had chores that we had to do. If you wanted to play outside, watch TV or have a soda pop you had to have your chores done. My kids are very helpful around the house, if you remind them time and time again that ne

There is a line from a song I am quite partial too that says Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it, in other words, don't expect people to learn from experiences they've never had. Teaching kids how to manage money is a lot like pushing a rope. You can do it, it's frustrating and quite often you wonder why you're even trying.

You've got little ones, Christmas has come and gone and still you've got your home decorated in early American Lego with a touch of Wii remotes thrown in for good measure right? So how do you keep the house looking presentable for adults to gather while still maintaining a playroom atmosphere for those that have not yet learned how to pick up after themselves, I mean your kids not just your husban

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are a great couple, and if you haven't seen Keith put on a concert...I suggest you get tickets.  But beside that: they might be having another baby in the "near future"

There is a saying that marriage is 50/50, that assessment was probably made by someone who wasn't married to long. It is my humble opinion that a real relationship is less about years and more about moments. Because it is those moments that sustain the relationship when the road gets a little rough.

The picture you see next to this post is of our (actually Jill and the kids) dog, Cotton. As dogs go he is one. He licks himself the way dogs should, he has accidents that I usually find with bare feet in the dark and he barks at the dinner table. He is treated better than me. Why is that? I'm at least toilet trained.

If you ask a woman to speak of romance, she gushes about flowers  and love notes on the pillow. Ask a man about romance chances are vodka and black underwear will be mentioned. Alas what to do to bring both sides together for a night of passion? I have a suggestion and ladies it does involve chocolate!

My wife told me we need to communicate better. How could it be any better she talks and I grunt or nod at what I think is the appropriate time. We should all take time to listen and understand each other, but since we are guys and y'all are women that probably won't happen until after the..uh..well it's going to be a while. So why not celebrate the differences and have a laugh on us ladies, we can
