Teacher accused of being a wizard
Filed under: Weird but true, Education  One of my favorite teachers back in high school was Mr. Dorchester. He was a little quirky and absentminded, but he made studying history fun. He was a new-agey kind of guy who often drifted off subject with incredible tales of his own travels and experiences, but he always managed to impart the lessons we needed to learn. In short, he was a good teacher because he kept us alert and interested. It sounds like the same could probably be said for Jim Piculas, a substitute teacher at Rushe Middle School in Land O'Lakes, Florida. Except he will not be allowed to continue teaching. Officials at Pasco County School District say Mr. Piculas was fired for failing to follow lesson plans, allowing his students to use unapproved computers and leaving a student in charge of his class. Piculas says he was fired for being a wizard. The wizard accusation came after Piculas did a magic trick for his class in which he made a toothpick disappear and reappear. He says he later got a call Pat Sinclair, who is in charge of substitute teachers. According to Piculas, Sinclair told him he was being let go because he had been accused of wizardry. Even though district officials say the magic trick was far down on the list of reasons why Piculas was let go, I can't help but wonder why it was on the list at all. What is wrong with a little magic in the classroom?

Filed under: Newborns, Babies, Pregnancy and birth, Resources  I've always wished I had detachable arms because they always got in the way when I try to sleep. (Of course, I've never solved the problem of how one would get them reattached when one woke up, but I'm still working on it.) Babies, according to just about everyone, have a similar issue. They prefer to be wrapped up with their arms tucked in tight at their sides.This is called swaddling a baby. We did this for our first two and I assumed that I would remember how to do it for our third who was born earlier this week. Alas, I am old and forgetful, so the process didn't come back to me. Now, I could have just asked a nurse to show me how to do it, but being the complete nerd that I am, I turned instead to the internet. There are quite a few videos on YouTube that demonstrate various ways to swaddle an infant. The one that I like best is the ultra swaddle, although the blankets at the hospital weren't long enough to do it right. If you're using a really big blanket, the Baby Burrito video makes it look pretty easy. Taking the simple swaddle one step further, this video uses a second blanket to create a burka-like wrap that seems pretty secure. Lastly, here's a fun pastime for new parents and their friends -- a swaddle battle. See who can swaddle the kid the best, the fastest, and the most successfully. After watching all these videos, you'd think I'd be a swaddle master, but unfortunately, I'm not. It's not all my fault, however; I have a very uncooperative partner -- one who likes to wave his arms about and kick his legs like mad. Still, I'll keep practicing and, someday, I'll get it right. Probably right about the time he's ready to go off to college.

Filed under: Adoption, Playground bureau, Media  A few years ago, my best friend decided to build her family through adoption. Recently, she became Mom to an amazing young boy. She's taught me so much over the last few years, both about the process but also about how how to be sensitive to adoptive parents and children. So I was shocked when I read that a company called Teleflora, which is currently sponsoring an America's Favorite Mom contest for Mother's Day (Donnie and Marie Osmand will crown the winner on NBC's Primetime tomorrow night), categorized adoptive moms in their contest as "non-moms." An adoption blogger complained, and the company quickly realized their error. They've now change the category to "adopting moms" and issued an apology on their web page.  Continue reading Contest calls adoptive moms "non-moms"

Filed under: Teens and tweens, Celeb parenting, In the news  David Archuleta is one of three contestants left in the final round of this season's American Idol, so it stands to reason that the pressure is on. But it's hard to say who's feeling the pressure more, David or his dad.Jeff Archuleta, who is allowed backstage because David, 17, is still a minor, recently lost his backstage pass for not following the rules. Though Archuleta had been warned about his overbearing influence during rehearsals in the past, he broke a rule last week that cost the show extra money. When David sang the song "Stand By Me," his father added in a verse from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls," which American Idol then had to pay for. According to Wikipedia, this isn't the first time Archuleta has been accused of overstepping his role of stage parent. Naomi Judd, who worked with the family on Star Search once said that Jeff Archuleta was the "worst stage dad," and that security measures had to be put into place during that series as well.

Filed under: Just for moms, Pregnancy and birth, Health and safety, Eating and nutrition, Mealtime
Just how much are you supposed to eat when you're pregnant? According to MayoClinic.com, the average (not overweight, not underweight) woman should gain between 25-35 pounds during pregnancy. But, does it matter what your doctor says, what your friends and family say, or what the little one inside you dictates? With my first pregnancy, I was advised to consume between 300 and 500 calories extra per day. Not a drop more. Gone were the days when I thought I would be able to eat anything I wanted, the way things used to be Back when my mother-in-law was pregnant with my husband her doctor prescribed her diet pills to take during her pregnancy so she wouldn't gain too much weight. Scary thought, eh, but it's the truth. How she managed it I'll neverk know. Now that I'm in the second trimester of my second pregnancy, I am starting to remember what it was like the first time around. Continue reading Pregnancy fact or fiction: Eating for two (or three)

Facebook gets safer
Filed under: Teens and tweens, In the news, Media, Gadgets and tech  Social networking websites like Facebook are all the rage with teenagers these days. Unfortunately, they're also popular with those who would prey on teenagers. Facebook, the second largest such site, has just gotten safer, however. Working with states' attorneys general, the company has agreed to make changes to become less perilous for kids.Last January, MySpace, the largest social networking site in the world, came to a similar agreement. Some of the changes Facebook are to prevent alcohol and tobacco ads from reaching those too young to purchase those items, to disallow groups related to incest, pedophilia, and bullying, and to issue a warning when a child is about to provide personal information to an adult. "Social networks that encourage kids to come to their sites have a responsibility to keep those kids safe," North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said. "We've now gotten the two largest social networking sites to agree to take significant steps to protect children from predators and pornography." Forty-nine states and Washington D.C. have approved the agreements. Richard Blumenthal, the Attorney General from Connecticut, hailed the agreement as the start of "a new era in social networking safety." It's a new world inside the computer and it's good that steps are being made in making it a safer environment for kids.
