Here is what’s happening over at SantaRosaMom.com this week:
Easter Events
It’s coming up fast, with egg hunts coming up even faster. Do you know of a family Easter event? Or perhaps you are planning an Easter event and want to let other families know about it. Share over at SantaRosaMom.com!
Toddler activities
A mom of an 18 month old is preparing for when her daughter’s father comes to visit by seeking out fun places for them to go. If you have any suggestions, please share them in the forums.
Baby’s HIV cured!
The big news of the week was the baby who was born with HIV, and who was successfully cured of the infection.
7 year old “diyet”
A mom was shocked when she came upon her young daughter’s diet plan, and questions where she – and society – failed her by making her believe her body wasn’t perfect.
Duchess Kate’s gender slip
It appears Kate Middleton accidentally revealed the gender of her baby. What do you think – prince or princess?
The Village
Man finds son on subway
This story caught my eye – a tale of an abandoned baby that turned into a beautiful story of adoption.
Making time for each child
With more than one kid, it’s easy for one of them to feel left out. This was apparent when my daughter moved back home, and suddenly Taz was no longer center stage.
