• Kelly Ripa Beats Obamas for Your Family Vacation

  I've got a bone to pick with American families.  Or at least those signing up for nitwit surveys. Because apparently you would rather spend your vacation with a talk show host than the leader of the free world. Read More...

• Speaking Engagement Host Tells Kate Gosselin: Be Nice!

  You have to hand it to Alyssa Martin. The publisher of a Detroit parenting magazine that brought Jon and Kate Plus 8 mom Kate Gosselin to the Motor City hands the reality star her you-know-what.  But she does it nicely.  Which is more than Martin can say of Gosselin.

• MIchelle Obama Visits Sesame Street

  Michelle Obama apparently knows the way to Sesame Street.  The first lady, while in New York, taped a public service announcement with her new pal Elmo. It was a ‘sunny day’ indeed. Obama said that the appearance was "probably the best thing I've done at the White House." When making an address at the United Nations, Obama said... Read More...

• First Grandma Likes D.C. After All

  In spite of her initial reluctance to move from her life-long home in Chicago, Marian Robinson, Michelle Obama's mother, has been living the good life in the capital.  Though she still does quite a bit of heavy lifting when it comes to caring for the Obama girls--shuttling them to and from school most days, supervising homework, accompanying them to play dates--she has also been seen frequently in the president's box at the Kennedy Center, enjoying shows and meeting performers. Mrs. Robinson likes to Read More...

• Sidwell Parents Say Obamas are Cheapskates

  First it was the British press all abub about Michelle Obama's gifts to the prime minister's children. Now fellow parents are claiming the president and first lady cheaped out on the gifts they donated for the auction at the school daughters Sasha and Malia attend.  Really? This is what we're worried about in light of the disastrous global economy, a swine flu pandemic that's taking lives and should I even point upward to that ever-widening hole in the ozone layer?

• Morning News: U.S. Officially Has the World's Coolest President

  After North Korea futzed around with its unsuccessful attempt to launch a nuclear missile into orbit, President Barack Obama called on world leaders to renew commitments to getting rid of nuclear arms. Obama's statement Sunday from Prague came as he winds down his first overseas trip as president, a trip that confirmed for the world what many had suspected during his presidential campaign and subsequent election: Read More...

• Sasha's Not-So-Green Lunches

  Michelle Obama has made healthy eating a priority for her family and for America. During the campaign, she made it clear organic foods were her first choice for daughters Sasha and Malia. Now in the White House, the First Family has a chef who specializes in local, organic ingredients. Recently, Michelle and a bunch of Washington, D.C., school kids grabbed their shovells and planted a White House vegetable garden. So some have found it shocking that the youngest Obama doesn't always carry whole grain PB&J sandwiches and fresh fruit in her lunch. Friends have told nosey reporters that about three times a week, Sasha pulls this out of her Jonas Brothers lunchbox:   Read More...

• Do We Need to Know How Many Calories Malia and Sasha Consume in a Day?

  Michelle Obama doesn't mind being the spokesperson for nutritious, delicious, locally grown food. A New York Times story earlier this week talks about how she has become the willing champion of a better diet for Americans. Lots of famous food people have praised the First Lady's efforts and her insistance that the White House chef cook fresh, unprocessed foods -- preferrably grown in the region. Gourmet magazine's editor, Ruth Reichl, thinks Michelle should go even further than just serving organic, eco-conscious meals. Her suggestion makes me cringe. (As does something that the First Dad said in a People magazine interview back in November (how'd I miss that?) about his daughter Malia's weight ... more on that in a sec.)   Read More...

• Brits Say Michelle Obama Cheaped Out on Gifts

  Somebody please remind the British press that the world's economy is in the dumps.  Their latest gripe about America? Michelle Obama didn't give "nice enough" gifts to the British prime ministers children. Or, to be precise, the first lady's gifts to Gordon Brown's boys were not as nice as the outfits bestowed on Sasha and Malia Obama by the prime minister's wife. Read More...

• Obamas Pick a Breed and a Homecoming for First Dog

  The president may jokingly refer to himself as a mutt, but it will be a purebred bounding into the White House on four paws come April.  Michelle Obama has let word get out that the family is looking for a Portuguese water dog - preferrably a rescue (a request the First Family has made several times over) - one of the few hypo-allergenic breeds of dogs that will be acceptable in light of ten-year-old Malia's allergies.  When's it coming home?

• Are Chores Important? The Obamas Say Yes.

  One of the first things Michele Obama did when she met the White House domestic staff was instruct them not to make her children's beds.  She wants to make sure they learn that kind of responsibility for themselves.  When I read that, my heart went out to the first parents. As a mom who is usually just a bit stricter than my peer-moms, I feel for the Obamas, striving to make sure their kids Read More...

• Morning News: Economy Kills Kids' Fun As We Know It

  The economic downturn may change the way our kids play. It might even be for the better. The Washington Post reports from the annual Toy Fair in New York that this year's breakout toy hits aren't Wii's and Furby's and cars that drive on walls.  Instead, the fair features lots of familiar games and toys in new and improved (and Disneyfied) versions. Babble's live-blogging the Toy Fair so check back later today to get a close-up of 2009 recession/depression style fun.    Now for some bad news: childhood obesity isn't in a downturn.

• First Parents Go on a Date--Do You?

  Using the bully pulpit of celebrity and good looks, the Obamas led by example when they flew home to Chicago and went out on a Valentine's Day date at a Gold Coast restaurant run by Oprah's former personal chef.  Paparazzi and ordinary daters snapped away as the couple tried to get a little us time. While I am disappointed that the Obama's don't seem to have stopped once to pose, even a little, for their admirers (you can see the stolen peeks at the Chicago Tribune's slideshow), I still think they are great role models for parents of young children everywhere.  The lesson is: don't Read More...

• VIDEO-Obama Bet Daughter She Will Freak When She Meets Nick Jonas

  I'm going to say it again. Are you ready? Are you sitting down? I hope so. Here we go: President Obama seems like a good dad. I know. Earth-shaking stuff, that. I'm not sure why I'm so fascinated by our new President's fatherly behavior, but I am. One reason is that there seem to be many examples of said behavior available for public consumption. Here's the latest one: Malia said that she would be calm and collected when meeting her crush, Nick Jonas. So Dad bet his daughter five dollars that she would not, in fact, be so calm and cool.
