Leaving your career to be a stay-at-home mom isn't always easy. And while forgoing your paycheck is never fun, recently researchers calculated how much stay-at-home parents would make each year if they were to be paid, and spoiler alert, it's a lot.

The fertility rate has been declining in the US for seven years; however, the numbers from 2017 represent the sharpest drop in recent history. Interestingly, the report also broke down the fertility rate by state. South Dakota ha

We asked Lorrie Walker, Safe Kids Worldwide training manager and technical advisor. Are car seat covers safe? The short answer is no. Car seat manufacturers advise parents not to use any product in the car seat if it isn’t made by the manufacturer. “There are a lot of aftermarket products that don’t meet flammability standards,” says Walker.
