Remember to Bundle Them Up!

I am sooo spoiled living in California! Though we need jackets from time to time (light ones by the standards of much of the rest of the country), ... Read it

I found this article a little sad and disturbing, there was a study done on kids and spanking and now experts are saying that kids who are spanked have lower IQs than those who aren't.
