I just recently heard about a woman in Alabama who was arrested for having a cardboard box on top of her van while driving along the highway.  This was no ordinary cardboard box!  It was tied to the roof with a clothes hanger and had her 13 year old daughter in it.  Yeah!!!  Real safe and […]...

I received an email from a company I work with about a sight seeking Mom Ambassadors for the “Keep Your Mind on the Wheel” Pledge.  I really admire what this site is doing!  When we lived in California, I knew a woman at our church who lost 2 of their children in a car accident.  […]...

I’m entering the Silliest Kid Contest at 5 Minutes for Mom and here is my picture!!...

It has been discussed for a while now that the FTC was working on adjusting guidelines for endorsements.  There has also been a lot of controversy surrounding bloggers receiving “free” stuff and their written opinions being biased because they received either cash or product as a form of payment.  There was one woman who complained about […]...

At 3:00 […]...

I just want to apologize for those who have subscribed and are receiving duplicates emails from The Mommy-Files.  You will need to unsubscribe from one of them.  You should still continue to receive emails if you unsubscribe from one of them (only it will be 1 email instead of 2).  If not, after 2 days, […]...

As much as drama drives me nuts, I can definitely say I appreciate the traffic it gives my blog – lol! This time, it’s involving Nestle and psycho activists claiming that because of Nestle’s formula, babies in third world countries are dying. What the h? Are you freaking kidding me? There is even a video […]...
