By MICHAEL DEEDS - Idaho Statesman Bogus Basin ski school director Jamie Zolber has seen it all before - this past Monday, actually. The wind was blowing like mad. A family was up on the mountain with a child who was 2, maybe 2-1/2 years old, on skis. "The kid was just wailing, crying," Zolber says.

The first thing women typically say when I tell them my husband is an airline pilot is, "Doesn't that make you nervous?" They always look surprised when I say no, I feel like he's probably safer in the airplane than he is during his 30-minute commute to the airport. He's been flying for long enough now that I don't worry every time he goes to work that something will go wrong. When he leaves... - read more

I just wanted to remind everybody that it’s graduation season and the deadline for ordering announcements, caps and gowns is January 8.

My daughter hates food. Well, hate is pretty strong, let's say she finds it annoying most of the time. Little MK is almost 18-months and trying to feed her is consistently THE single most challenging thing to do. Yeah, getting her to sleep sometimes isn't the easiest thing. Diapers? Not fun but really not as bad as they are advertised. And baths, well they are just plain fun (but a little... - read more

Must-see movie for Moms - 136 views
The HBO film "Temple Grandin" starring Claire Danes and Julia Ormond is an inspiration for any mother. Don't miss it. This is a true story of a little autistic girl, Temple, a child her doctor thought should be institutionalized. Her mother didn't listen to the so-called experts of the day and she found the right schools, the right teachers for Temple. She did this even as... - read more

'Nobody said life would be easy' - 175 views
Apathy (noun): 1: lack of feeling or emotion: impassiveness. 2: lack of interest or concern: indifference. I don't understand apathy. I don't get not feeling emotions -- though I could see how someone might confuse states I have been in in the past as being in a state of apathy. I don't think I was though. At points in my past, sometimes extended periods at a time, I lived in a state of self-induced... - read more
