I was fortunate enough to meet her the day after she won a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, though I didn’t get invited to her wedding. Still, I am thrilled to spread the good news that gymnast Dominique Moceanu and her husband Dr. Michael Canales will be welcoming their first child in January. Currently, 25-year-old Moceanu is living in Cleveland with her foot and ankle surgeon husband and teaching gymnastics to girls who weren’t even born when she and the rest of her “Magnificent 7” teammates struck gold in Atlanta. Gymnastics may have been a … Continue reading →

The Crocodile Hunter’s Family Speaks out Against Whaling

The family of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin — wife Terri and daughter Bindi — are making 2008 their year for a campaign against Japanese whaling. After Steve Irwin’s death in 2007, Terri Irwin purchased a whale watching business. That whale watching business will help launch the Irwin family’s anti-whaling project. Terri’s goal is to demonstrate that whale research can be done without killing — Japanese whalers continue to hunt and kill humpbacks in the name of science. Whale data gathered by Irwin’s whale watching business in the southern hemisphere will be analyzed at Oregon State University. Japan has … Continue reading →

Tuesday marks the first anniversary of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin’s tragic death off the Great Barrier Reef. You’ll recall the animal activist was killed when a stingray barb pierced his chest while he was taping a segment for his wildlife show. In the months since Irwin’s death, his 9-year-old daughter Bindi has made headlines picking up where he left off.

Baby Bling? Seriously?

Today, safety advocates have won a serious battle against the rich and stylish. Pacifiers that are encrusted with Swarovski crystals have been recalled due to the possibility of swallowing one of the precious crystals and aspirating. Thank goodness. Have I missed something, or is there something wrong with a plain old Gerber pacifier? And what parent would seriously put something with jewels encrusted into it into their infant’s mouth? Isn’t that just common sense? Apparently not. Because I found jewel encrusted bottles, pacifiers, pacifier holders, rattles and toys after googling online. Everything and anything that can have a jewel stuck … Continue reading →

This website is chock full of information on twins. Juggling twins, schooling twins, feeding twins, riding a bike with twins… unlocking the mystery of behind the twin phenomenon seems to be a hot topic on this site. Yes, I have learned a lot about twins since joining this community, but what I have yet to completely understand is the seemingly odd coincidences that surround the chosen few who live their lives with a sibling who shares the same birthday. This next story illustrates my point: Twin sisters Nicole Cramer and Naomi Sale got pregnant around the same time and were … Continue reading →
