Attachment Parenting 31
Eight-year-old boy learns the art of ‘drag’ makeup and kills it!
When Season Wilwert’s eight-year-old-son, Ethan, said he wanted to become a professional makeup artist she immediately took him for a lesson with MAC cosmetics make-up artist Joey Killmeyer.
Ethan told Joey that he wanted to learn to do drag make-up like Jeffree Star and Joey gave him just that.
Joey did one side of Ethan’s face and had Ethan do the other. I’m not even sure who did what side. Ethan is clearly a natural talent and got a lot … Keep Reading!!!
Let’s get this straight: Attachment parenting is not a “trend.”
By A.M., IANtB Science Editor
I saw this meme getting passed around on Facebook, and it makes me kind of want to say a thing.
You see, we sciencey people, we kind of have a love/hate relationship with memes. On the one hand, they can be really good at visually or succinctly illustrating a scientific concept in a way that often scientists cannot. But by virtue of their succinctness, they sometimes often oversimplify what is actually a complicated issue, or … Keep Reading!!!

‘I want everyone to be smiling’. This little girl asks her divorced parents to get along
It is the age-old struggle for divorced parents; dealing with arguments that naturally come with the dissolution of a relationship but trying to remain civil for the sake of the children. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much the fighting and bickering can affect the kids.
6-year-old Tiana explains, quite eloquently, what she wants to see from her parents and how she doesn’t like to see them fighting. It all started with a fallen shoe rack which ignited a fight … Keep Reading!!!
Confessions of an Attachment-Parenting Nanny
By: Anonymous
I am a student who focuses on child development and parenting in an evolutionary context, so when I decided to become a nanny, I specifically sought out a family that practices evidence-based, “attachment”-style parenting. Since I am not a parent yet myself (suitable bachelors inquire within), I’ve heretofore only “practiced” attachment parenting principles in a peripheral sort of way (wearing my friends babies, etc). I am therefore super excited to finally have the chance to test the scientific … Keep Reading!!!
‘Umbrella Dad’ wins adoration of parents with a simple act of love
With his briefcase and lunch in one hand, this drenched dad has gone viral for keeping his son dry.
Of course, he could have just carried his son and had his son hold the umbrella and both stayed dry. Umbrella user level – amateur. Dad level – swoon.
“Umbrella Dad” did leave us with an adorable photo but what it says goes beyond just the simple gesture of keeping his son dry while sacrificing himself to the rain. … Keep Reading!!!
Walmart refuses to print breastfeeding photos and it’s becoming a disturbing trend
Whitney Walters wanted to put together a scrapbook of her 6-year-old daughter. She sent her pictures off to Walmart, but when she arrived to pick them up they told her multiple photos of hers were indecent and would not be printed. The indecent act? Breastfeeding her daughter. Aside from that vague comment they would not explain, specifically, why they could not print them. Public Relations for Walmart has not issued a statement.

We’re doing our best! Attachment Parenting with infant twins
Attachment Parenting is something that came naturally for us. Not that we don’t struggle just like everyone, but it fit our family best. We didn’t even realize there was a name for it or such a following of it in the beginning. Although, online mommy groups certainly made me aware very quickly that this was the box we fit into and this was the label we must use! One of the big concerns we had when we found out we … Keep Reading!!!
Adjusting to Newborn Twins – Our First Week
Attempting to Prepare for Twins
I’ll admit it, I found it very hard to be excited about my twins while I was pregnant. I had moments but most of the time it was sheer terror about what was coming our way. Previously, I wrote about some of these struggles; It’s Okay to Not Be Excited About an Unplanned Pregnancy. As my July 20th EDD approached this fear only intensified and I was 50/50 wanting them out because the pregnancy … Keep Reading!!!
Talking to Our Kids about World Tragedies
In a world where we are often surrounded by scary, sad news stories it’s hard to completely protect our kids from seeing these stories. Children are intuitive; they overhear us in the other room, they pick up on our emotions, they overhear us talking when we’re sure we’re out of earshot, they hear people outside of the home talking. They will almost always find out what’s going on. The question becomes how do we help them understand and cope without … Keep Reading!!!
