From Facebook: Bravo @waze! Would love to do a story on this feature ASAP. I know it’s not new... but it is super relevant. We just lost the 22nd baby this summer to a hot car death. Contributing factors in MOST cases: 1) change of routine/fatigue/hormone changes/lack of sleep (aka new parent norm)... 2) quiet, sleeping child in rear-facing car seat that hides the baby from front-seat view (though rear-facing is always safest!) Bottom line... it really can happen to anyone.

From Facebook: What is your kid sleeping on? CEH tested 12 nap mats for flame retardant chemicals. The Good News: 10 were FR-Free! The Bad News: only 2 were ALSO PVC-free. Researchers suggest avoiding BOTH Flame Retardants AND PVC (vinyl) "since vinyl often contains harmful additives." They also say "Avoid nap mats (with) antimicrobials."

Cleaning Up A Teen's Online Footprint

Cleaning up a Teen's Online Footprint via Lifestyle & Parenting Contributor @JillSimonian #FabMomFriday

#Reporter’sNotebook: As a mom of two daughters under the age of 6, I’m already nervous about the teen years — especially because I know social media and online outlets are most likely going to get more invasive and immersive as years progress.

A Different Kind of Resolution: Choosing Joy

Overcoming Postpartum Anxiety - One reporters personal story. Via #NewsMom @SandraOsborneTV

I smiled to myself as I clicked “buy” on something that seemed so out of character: A pair of leggings with a space invaders inspired pattern on them. Yep, a grown woman with space invader leggings. To some, it may seem silly or weird, but to me, it was symbolic. This frivolous (yet comfortable) item that made me grin is a tangible way of showing the world and myself that I am letting go of…

Peanut-Allergic Boy V. Kellogg's: Peanut Powder in Cheese Crackers

Kellogg's Added Peanut Powder To Some Crackers - How A Peanut-Allergic Boy Made It A Teaching Moment #NewsMomNews via @JulieWattsTV

#ReportersNotebook:

When Kellogg’s announced that it was adding trace amounts of peanut powder to some of its snack crackers, a boy with a passion for activism and an allergy to peanuts decided that he needed to help spread the word.

Even though Kellogg’s had announced the change, like many, Marcus was concerned someone might unknowingly feed this once popular peanut-free snack to a…
