Take two cute, photogenic kids, one creative dad, an ill granny in need of cheering up and what do you get? Some of the most fun and original child portraits you've seen. When Jason Lee's mother was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006, he couldn't take his daughters to visit their grandmother for fear they'd endanger her health with their childhood ailments. He wanted to keep his mother connected to his daughters in a way that would make her smile, and he's managed to make many others smile as well.
Spring break is right around the corner - where will you and your ex be vacationing this year? While many divorced couples congratulate themselves for successfully navigating a birthday party or school concert together without incident, some actually go so far as to take a family trip with their former spouse.

If so, will you talk to them about smoking as a result?
Are you cool with your toddler dropping the f-bomb, so long as they don't use really bad words, like "stupid" and "shut up"? Many parents watch their language when it comes to the much-maligned four-letter words but some people think those aren't nearly so bad as some of the cruel but non-curse words that pepper our vocabulary - the dumbs, the retards, the dorks of our collective lexicon.
