• Kelly Ripa Beats Obamas for Your Family Vacation

  I've got a bone to pick with American families.  Or at least those signing up for nitwit surveys. Because apparently you would rather spend your vacation with a talk show host than the leader of the free world. Read More...

• 100 Days of Obamas: First Photo Album Released

  Yesterday, the White House released a bunch of candid photos from the President's first 100 days in office. Not all of them involve him ripping out his hair bit by bit to deal with all the crises this president inherited. In fact none of them do.  I posted a few of the shots after the jump and a link for even more.   Read More...

• Sidwell Parents Say Obamas are Cheapskates

  First it was the British press all abub about Michelle Obama's gifts to the prime minister's children. Now fellow parents are claiming the president and first lady cheaped out on the gifts they donated for the auction at the school daughters Sasha and Malia attend.  Really? This is what we're worried about in light of the disastrous global economy, a swine flu pandemic that's taking lives and should I even point upward to that ever-widening hole in the ozone layer?

• First Video of the First Dog at Home

  The day a family brings their first dog home is exciting, stressful, and gloriously chaotic. Imagine having that day in front of tons of paparazzi and on live camera. Read More...

• Roll Your Kids Over to the White House for Easter

  Get ready, get set, because for the first time ever, White House Easter Egg Roll tickets are available to you and me. The Obama administration loves them some Internet (in case you hadn't noticed), and they've set up the first-ever online lottery for families of kids under ten to get their mitts on tickets to the world-famous Easter egg roll.

• They Say: Cooking at Home Makes You Fat

  You know how the first thing to go in this recession was dining out? And really, what was the sacrifice? You would be saving money AND creating a whole new healthy-eating lifestyle for you and the fam. Plus, you'd score the "time at the dinner table" points, which will apparently bring you one step closer to God or the Obamas or both. So you picked up a copy of The Joy of Cooking (the standard when you were growing up!) and fired up the oven and, wait, what's this? A larger ass? More jiggly thighs? An extra chin? Here's the problem: The Joy of Cooking? Those recipes have 40 percent more calories than in the past. FORTY PERCENT!   Read More...

• First Parents Go on a Date--Do You?

  Using the bully pulpit of celebrity and good looks, the Obamas led by example when they flew home to Chicago and went out on a Valentine's Day date at a Gold Coast restaurant run by Oprah's former personal chef.  Paparazzi and ordinary daters snapped away as the couple tried to get a little us time. While I am disappointed that the Obama's don't seem to have stopped once to pose, even a little, for their admirers (you can see the stolen peeks at the Chicago Tribune's slideshow), I still think they are great role models for parents of young children everywhere.  The lesson is: don't Read More...

• Obamas Read to Everybody's Kids But Yours

  Raise your hand if you're crazy jealous of these Washington, D.C., charter school second-graders. Me too! President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle read a book to the class in the school library, took questions, shook hands, posed for pictures and everything. VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP Read More...

• Wanted: Malia and Sasha Lookalikes

  Does one of your daughters, one of your daughter’s daughters or one of your daughter’s friends just happen to resemble Sasha or Malia Obama? Well, now’s the time to cash in on their luck in being first family worthy doppelgangers...   Read More...

• Some Obama Thanksgiving Awwwwww

  If you missed the Obamas' interview with Barbara Walters last night, the clips are worth it. The president-elect and his wife talk about their Thanksgiving plans (Michelle's taking a pass on cooking this year and, yes, Michelle, that's quite OK!). In this clip, the president-elect once again channels what so many of us Americans are thinking and feeling: Barbara Walters is totally ridiculous. Read More...

• Slideshow of Malia and Sasha Growing Up

  I can't believe I'm saying this, but on Day 4 of my post-election elation, I think I may be started to get fully satiated with hope and change. I'm not sure I can stand weeping one more friggin' tear of joy. Still, I can't help myself from sharing some of the sweetest baby photos I have ever seen. That they happen to be of the Obamas' daughters, Sasha and Malia, is almost beside the point. These girls are just too precious. And seeing photos of a First Family exhibiting such genuine closeness and joy is pretty inspiring as well. Read More...

• Obama's Friday Schedule: Tackle Global Economic Crisis, Parent-Teacher Meetings

  Michelle Obama wasn't kidding when she told Newsweek that her husband will continue to make his daughters, Sasha and Malia, a top priority, even as assumes the leadership of the free world. The Huffington Post has posted a copy of Obama's schedule for today, and the first item on the agenda is "parent teacher conferences at his daughters' school with his wife Michelle." Read More...
