Louisville Entrepreneur Profiles - TheMommyNest.com [Business]

Today we take a look at TheMommyNest.com, and local entrepreneur Whitney Boyles Trowbridge, who want to give back to the community and help parents raise well-balanced, healthy kids.

PB&J, Meet the New Guy: Healthy Lunchbox Ideas [Family and Parenting]

Meet some healthier (and easy) additions to the lunchbox. Move over PB&J, there's a new sandwich in town.

My wife and I are expecting a daughter, due on Christmas (had it been a boy, I would've insisted on naming him Jesus and then declared myself God, but alas…). Everyone we talk to has advice. And as many of these people have children who are intact and not incarcerated, it seems worth taking.
