With spring here and summer around the corner your kids will most likely be needing a new summer wardrobe soon. Why not host a clothing swap? Invite all your playgroup members and friends over with the clothes their kids have outgrown. Everyone first selects 3 of their favorite things. Once everyone is done it's a free for all. You'll end up with your closet cleaned out and a new wardrobe for your child. Whatever is left over goes to a local charity.

Can a family that plays together, stay together? Game night, the latest family-bonding activity, has parents unplugging the Sega and taking out Monopoly. For most people, it sounds like a medieval ritual of torture: siblings of all ages forced to sit in a room and play quietly together. But, as the Hannan and Blocker families of Ohio found out, if you follow a simple set of guidelines, fun really can happen right at home.

SEE YOUR ADORABLE BABY ON TV!!!
The Oxygen Network is producing a new TV series "Oh Baby, You're On TV!" featuring HOME VIDEOS of sweet, precious, and funny moments with kids (ages 0-4) that celebrates parents' humblest attempts to capture their babies lives on videotape!  Even if your child is out of that age range by now, we'd still love to use home videos of their younger years.
