I hate to mention sick kids
and school in the same sentence, because as hard as I try not to
be, I'm

As we creep into cold and flu season, much of the buzz this year has been around whether or not to get a swine flu vaccine.

I did a little binge
blog-reading this weekend, catching up on all of my favorite
writers that I haven't given nearly enough attention to in the

We can't stop the sniffles or convince you to get in bed at a (more) decent hour, but we can save you a little time and research. We've compiled the health headlines from Shine we know parents will want to read so you can stay up on wellness issues without adding one more thing to your to do list.
